Not as strong as 28 Days Later, that's for sure but a rating of 1,2, or 3 for certain is undeserved and no serious rating. Some logic issues, yes, but still better than 90% of the movies published under the banner of the zombie/walker genre. I watched tons, and I know what I am talking about - 28 Weeks Later, good, but could have been much better with a more plausible story and with less ueber-life dramatic action scenes (like that car chase and poisoning gas in the streets).

I just finished watching, one night after watching 28 Days Later. This movie is watchable, but it's not as good as the original

The movie uses the same sort of filming techniques that we see in the original, which I like. The low quality camera gives the film a gritty look and feel, and the effect is that the horrific events that occur seem more real and, thus, hard-hitting. The opening sequence involving the group in the cabin is well-done. Jeremy Renner gives a good performance

That said - the movie unfortunately fails to match up to the original for several reasons. The biggest flaw in this movie is that nobody outside of Jeremy Renner's character is likable. The plot is set in motion when 2 kids make a very dumb decision to go outside of the secured area to visit their former home. The 2 kids are, basically, responsible for the deaths of so many people. And that detail lingered with me throughout the whole movie, making the 2 kids unlikable and very hard to pull for. I wasn't interested in their survival in this movie

I also didn't like the inclusion of Americans in this film. I feel that the first movie got some charm for being entirely British.

Lastly , the final act in this movie is unsatisfying, particularly with a a found-footage-esque part.

6.5/10.

A sequel to 28 days later and you don't need to watch it to understand this one. The infection has died off and the UK population has been reduced to a few, being backed by US forces living on the Isle of dogs in London. We follow one family haunted by what they saw in the outbreak, some of these demons return. You rarely see the aftermath of an apocalypse with this interesting premise and conflicted characters it really starts well. But once the inevitable returns so does the usual clichés in this genre.

I remember watching "28 Weeks Later" as a kid and being blown away by its intensity and suspense. Back then, I would have rated it a solid 10 out of 10, with its thrilling pace and terrifying depiction of a zombie outbreak. However, after rewatching it recently, my perception has changed quite a bit.

The film starts strong with a gripping opening scene that sets the tone for chaos and desperation. But as the movie progresses, it starts to feel a bit like a low-budget production. The special effects and some of the action sequences, which once seemed cutting-edge, now come off as slightly unpolished and less convincing.

The storyline, particularly the subplot involving the zombie dad, feels awkward and forced. What initially seemed like a dramatic plot twist now feels more cringe-worthy and detracts from the overall tension of the movie. The idea of the dad turning into a zombie and becoming a recurring threat was meant to add a personal dimension to the horror but instead comes across as repetitive and not particularly compelling.

Overall, "28 Weeks Later" has its moments of suspense and still carries a sense of dread, but it doesn't hold up as well as I remembered. The film's shortcomings become more apparent upon rewatching I'd rate it closer to a 6 or 7 out of 10 now-still entertaining in parts, but not the masterpiece I once thought it was.

Some ignorant kids screw up the whole thing - thats all the story about. Even a child will have better IQ in this situation
