28 Weeks Later (DVD, 2009, Widescreen)

The Disease-Ridden, Flesh-Eating Rage Zombies return in '28 Weeks Later', but this time in an Apocolyptic Thriller that pits "Rage-Zombies" - VS - Innocent People and the might of U.S. Armed Forces.
"28 Days Later" Director Danny Boyle and that movie's screenwriter Alex Garland serve as Executive Producers this time around.
After a short prologue that sets up star Robert Carlyle as the type of spineless jerk he plays so well, the movie offers a short history of the 'Rage Virus' and how it turned its victims into Cannibalistic Zombies. Now 6 months after the first outbreak, the afflicted have apparently all starved to death. London is nearly a ghost town, the few survivors herded into a "Safe Zone". The American military is occupying the country, charged with keeping it safe as it attempts to rebuild from the disaster. Airplanes are flying in again, but instead of depositing business travelers and vacationers, the passengers are refugees returning from abroad. Teenage Tammy (Imogen Poots) and tween Andy (Mackintosh Muggleton) are among the latest repatriates, the first children to arrive and the only children in all of London.
The kids reunite with their father, Don (Carlyle), the Zone's Chief Electrician, but it is not a totally happy reunion. Not only does he inform them that Mom's dead, but also they have barely become a family again before "Rage Strikes Again".
Chief Medical Officer Scarlet (Rose Byrne) expresses concern at the children's arrival, certain that London is not yet ready to have the young ones added to the population. The prediction proves to be right in more ways than one, since the 'Rage-Virus' implodes the heart of the Safe Zone. The U.S. Army does not fool around, adopting a kill anything that moves attitude. 'Zombies' are unleashing and Tammy and Andy's worries skyrocket (with the rest of Rebuilding London) as they flee through the city streets. Bullets, firebombs, and chemical weapons erupting in every corner of every scene. A full-fledged Apocolypse-Battle is in-full engagement.
While some snivelling minots want to draw inferences to this symbolizing 'The War in Iraq' and an oppressive America (IDIOTS).... if Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and his Co-Screenwriters Rowan Joffe and Jesus Olmo intended this as some sort of veiled critique of American Imperialism it fails. Fresnadillo simply wants to blow up things real good and that he does; for the sake of action-pulsing nightmarish horror/slaughter — the firebombing of London is extremelly impressive with flames filling City Streets and shooting up through the buildings. (Wildly Impressive Cinematography).
There are elements of the original '28 Days Later' that survive: shots of an eerily empty London and the quick, chaotic editing. But unlike the first film, '28 Weeks Later' poses a new phase on what may turn into a 'Rage-Zombie' franchise? - As George A Romero started in his 'Zombie' franchise; "Rage" now sets the challenge and irony of "What can stop the Virus; but "Rage Itself"??
Good Film -- SEE THIS !!!!

As an exercise in pure, unadulterated terror, 28 Weeks Later is a worthy follow-up to its acclaimed predecessor, 28 Days Later. In this ultraviolent sequel from Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (hired on the strength of his 2001 thriller Intacto), over six months have passed since the first film's apocalyptic vision of London overrun by infectious, plague-ridden zombies. Just when it seems the "rage virus" has been fully contained, and London is in the process of slowly recovering, an extremely unfortunate couple (Robert Carlyle, Catherine McCormack) is attacked by a small band of rampaging "ragers," and the cowardly husband escapes while his wife is attacked and presumably infected. Their surviving children (Imogen Poots, Mackintosh Muggleton) fall under the protection of a U.S. Army sharpshooter (Jeremy Renner), but nobody's safe for long as 28 Weeks Later goes into action-packed overdrive, with scene after blood-gushing scene of carnage and decimation.

ARCHIVES OF THE DEAD

Sorry, but this 2nd movie (hopefully the last) was not very good either and as usual I can't believe that everyone is giving it a 5 star rating. It is slow, isn't very scary and does not have enough action. I guess I'm used to American movies (Dawn of the dead, Saw, ect.) that have pretty much non-stop action or suspense. It was artfully shot and does have a pretty good story line as far as zombie movies go. It's too bad that the story line has so many holes in it. With all the cameras and security how could the kids get out of the "safe" zone or Don (Robert Carlyle) sneak into the lab where they were holding his infected wife without being seen? Come on! The premise is already unbelievable, don't make it even more unbelievable with all this nonsense. There are lots of other examples than these, but I'm not going to list them.

I'm not going to watch this movie again so if you would like to buy a brand new, viewed one time DVD please visit my eBay store.

This movie is terrible. Let me explain the first 5 minutes and that's all I'll need to say.

Okay, so 28 weeks after the infection, England is supposedly clear of all the "zombies." So they start bringing people back into the country into a safe area. Well, these two kids walk out of the safe area. They manage to just walk out past all the security guards. The guards obviously didn't care. They were as bored as I was watching this movie.

So, the kids find their mom who has somehow survived 28 weeks with everyone else being dead. Okay, I guess I'll buy that, but they find out she is infected, but has an immunity so lock her in the medical lab. Dumb. As if this movie hasn't killed enough brain cells, they then have the husband just walk into the medical lab, into the room his wife is in and starts kissing her, getting himself infected and it spreads. Where is security? If she has the infection, why isn't there a single guard making sure no one gets near her? IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!

Not to mention he shoves his thumbs in her eyes. When that was in 28 Days Later, I said, "Ooo!" but then they did it again. Really? There was nothing else he could do? Whatever. Just avoid this movie if you value your brain cells. Remember, once they're gone, they're gone.

If you like bloody, gore, killing, sci-fi, mystery, or thriller then this movie is most suitable for you. From the 28 days later, the U.S army kept a number of survivors in a secure town in London. They want them to re build the city again and start life again. However not knowing that there was 1 infected, hell came lose again. Now it's time for zombies to take over? Watch this if your interested. Watch "28 Days Later" before watching this because you know what happens in order.
