Well, considering they showed an ad about every 15 minutes while watching 28 Days Later I'd say I've pretty much seen the whole thing. Seriously... too much advertising makes me not want to see a film. ![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")

Great movie, especially the night vision scene.
The movie could have done without zombie dad magically popping up all over the place, however

I will definitely be seeing this.
I loved 28 Days Later. The "last man alive" idea appealed to me as a kid (in a Introverts Fantasy kinda way). I used to wonder what it would be like to be a survivor of some sort of disaster and be among the last few remaining people left, or be deserted on an island, etc. I love movies depicting ideas of Anarchy.
I was a little turned off when I discovered that Danny Boyle wasn't directing this one, however after watching the trailer and reading a couple of reviews I'm really keen to see it now.

he did have an uncanny ability to appear in almost every scene
overall i thought it was a really enjoyable zombie flick. lots of blood and gore, good acting and an amusing story line. i am always drawn to movies about the decline of society and such...

Re spoiler:
Overall, I was a little disappointed. It seemed short and lacking a bit of guts in the middle - there was room for more character development and human tensions (a la the evil soldiers in the first one). Also, some weirdly unrealistic parts (in terms of the layout of London and so on - I'm gonna start a new thread exploring this topic in a bit more detail, in general terms).

Don, the infected dad kept popping up everywhere because even tho he is infected he was the section officer so he remembered the layout of the districts. Also it appeared as tho he was hunting down his children, like he enjoyed the slow chase.

Hmmm....they were over a pretty big area of London, by the end - well outside the area he was working in. [which btw was totally unrealistic and stupid, no way they could have walked the distances that they supposedly did]

The infected dad part bugged me too; how come he was smarter than all the other infected people? And another thing that really didn't make any sense at all was that the mom lived for so long up in the attic. At least they give the impression that she was just basically camping out up there. With no running water. For 7 months. That makes NO SENSE AT ALL!!!! Even if you use your imagination and say OK, maybe she was sneaking out to the abandoned stores for food and water, why didn't anyone ever see her? She looked way too traumatized to be that resourceful. And they make a point of showing all the bagged up contaminated stuff being collected and disposed of, but there are still decaying bodies left in stores over half a year later?! I'm sorry, but fuck that. They wouldn't have had the situation under control like they did at the beginning of the movie if there were still bodies decomposing everywhere. Animals would have been spreading the virus around.

^I'm pretty sure they said that other species didn't carry the virus.
Which contradicts the original chimp passing the virus in the first movie.

Good point
. I guess they could argue that animals did pass the virus, but they all died (e.g. everyone (human and animal) got infected, then after 28 days starved to death). That would explain why there were no packs of wild dogs in London. My problem with the mother surviving: when the mother kisses the father, he becomes Infected and quickly kills her. So why didn't the Infected who initially bit her, kill her? She was trapped in a house with Infected, but somehow escaped and walked back to London from the countryside, and hid out from Infected for six months. Why didn't the Infected just kill her?
I can see how there could still be decomposing bodies - the US soldiers were still in the process of cleaning up - I'm pretty sure they said that at the start.

I got dragged to see this by my gf.
The only good thing about the movie was a full suspenseful scenes, like the night vision scene at the end.
The movie basically offered nothing new. Yeh there were a few details on the virus being carried by hosts and people living normally with the virus but basically I thought the movie was another story of survival. Like the first movie, the whole thing was basically about characters put into a hectic situation and they have to survive. It was a story of surviving. In28 days later, there was character development and plot development between the action scenes of the people running away from zombies. 28 weeks later, it was basically the same thing, but with less plot development, less character development, and more about just characters surviving......the whole movie was about the present situation.......very boring because the movie did not delve into the plot further at all..........the movie was a wasted opportunity.......a cocktease........
It would have been a decent movie if it was a stand alone movie, not connected to 28 days later at all.
The WORST thing about the movie was the way the action scenes were filmed.......they do this thing in so many action movies, where there is an action scene going on, and the camera just shakes around alot, creating the illusion of chaos and that alot of shit is going down......it's a cheap way of filming an action sequence because you dont have to show what is going on. All the shaking around and blurryness of the scene simply implies what is going on, but I might as well just close my eyes and listen, cause its the same thing to me.....this type of filming TAKES AWAY FROM THE FEELING OF HORROR. Because I don't know what the fuck is exactly going on, i'm detached from the movie. That is what was fantastic about 28 days later. I felt like I was there, in the movie, running away from the zombies with the characters. I could actually see what was going on.
A great example of a movie where I feel like im IN THE MOVIE is children of men. The director on purpose had these very long 1-take scenes where you see everything happening in realtime, no cuts or editing. Kung fu movies do this too. Does anyone know what im saying?
I also thought the father zombie thing was stupid. It took away from the realness of the movie, thats what made 28 days later great in my mind too.
I thought the plot was lame as well, like how the whole outbreak started, I thought the writing could have been more clever. WHY would the government start bringing people into the country to live when like only a lil area is quarantine. I don't think any government would allow people to live there under those circumstances.....you know???????????????
