28 Weeks Later (DVD, 2009, Full Frame)

This is the sequel of the movie "28 days later" which takes as 6 months after the first one. All the infected have died of starvation and London is beginning to repopulate. Again something goes wrong and everybody is running for their lives.
This is pretty much the synopsis of the movie. The scenery (central London) is nice and special effects are ok also. The movie has nothing more to show you than the first one and it is not a movie that you are going to remember for more than a week.
If you like gore, blood and splatter then this movie is for you. If you want a plot, some descent acting and a good script then see something else.
Surely not a movie to buy but a movie to rent when you are with your friends.
The most annoying thing was the camera shots which is like an infected has the camera on his hands when he is running.

28 Weeks later had some big shoes to fill as 28 days later was excellent. There's not many movies that come out that I take the time and money to actually go see in a theater but this one was an exception. I left feeling like I had gotten my moneys worth as was the general consensus of those I went with. I didn't like the whole repopulating the City theme or the whole quarantined/non-cleared area issues. They would have been better off in my opinion having had successfully shut off the affected area from the rest of the world for the 28 weeks and then to have the infection suddenly leak out and begin to spread outward again. Perhaps the producers of 28 months Later (if possible) will read this and get back to what was great about 28 days later. By the way how the heck did 2 kids successfully get through all the trumped up security to get to the "non-cleared section of the city? And why would they take the risk of repopulating areas of the city so soon and so close to areas not cleared. Seems to me they would have treated that area like it had been hit with an atomic bomb! Maybe this was just average after all?

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 !!!!

One of the best movies out this year! Excellent from start to finish. Lots of action. Moves more quickly than the original where many thought the opening scenes and story build were slow (even though I loved that one). One hint See 28 DAYS LATER first, then see this one. This one adds the element of the starting over over process and military rule and is just very well done. Perhaps one of the best Sci-fi thrillers of all time. I believe this won awards for cinematography as well as there are amazing scenese you WILL NOT forget! HOpe you love it like me!

Nothing satisfies the appetite for allegory quite like a movie about flesh-eating zombies. Somehow the genre, at least as practiced by its masters, has the capacity to illuminate some brute facts about the human condition and its contemporary dysfunctions. There are not many recent movies that match, for example, the social criticism undertaken by George Romero in his “Living Dead” cycle.

Danny Boyle’s “28 Days Later” and its new sequel, “28 Weeks Later,” directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, may not quite be in Mr. Romero’s league, but at their best they come close to his signature blend of grisly horror, emotional impact and biting satire. There is, of course, plenty of literal biting as well, since the virus-crazed creatures known as infecteds crave the flesh and blood of their erstwhile fellow citizens.

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.

LOVE THESE, BECAUSE OF THE RAGE DIESE, MORE RELISTIC THEN ZOMBIES, DO NOT GET ME WRONG, I LOOOOOVVEEEE MY ZOMBIE MOVIES!!! BIG HORROR FAN, THIS ONE IS A GREAT DVD FOR YOUR COLLECTION, BUT IT DOES NOT EVEN COMES CLOSE TO 28 DAYS LATER... AT ALL. IT MAKES YOU SAY ALOT, WHY DID SHE DO THAT, WHY DID THEY NOT DO THIS LOCK DOWN A DIFFERENT WAY? SO MANY WHY'S, THAT MAKES THE MOVIE, A WHY WHY WHY MOVIE, BUT STILL A MUST FO RYOU COLLECTION! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED, STILL A GREAT FILM!!! REALLY AWESOME

Movie was good in my opinion although it was slow at times which made it kind of boring. I bought it because I loved the movie.

it entertained me, enough said.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Excellent story line. Lots of action. Even better movie than the first even though it doesn't have the same actors.

Well, first I must admit I appreciated very much the way '28 days later' was shot.
Even if '28 weeks later' is much like the first opus as far as its visual style is concerned, its scenario looks more like a patchwork of 'epic sequences' than a true sequel. I regret the fact that as soon as you get to 'know' some character a little, it gets infected/dies. This proves frustrating after some time.
Add to that quite improbable decisions by 'the Military' and you're close to nonsense at times. All in all, just worth the $10 I spent, not a penny more.

I LOVE THIS SELLER GREAT PRICES .VERY NICE SELLER TO WORK WITH .ALWAYS ANSWERS ALL QUESTIONS AND TRIES TO HELP IF NEEDED .IF THIS SELLER DONT HAVE WHAT YOU WANT THE SELLER WILL TRY TO GET IT FOR YOU .THANK YOU

Good follow up with the original story. Wasn't quite as action packed but did do a good job fitting into the sequel spot. Some acting was suspect but all in all ok.

What do you like, love, or dislike about it? Why did you decide to buy it?

Well I own the first one so I needed to have the sequel....
