It's a very specific movie. It is amazing from the very first minutes, because it is generally difficult to imagine that a person can do this to family and friends.

28 days later, a film from the same series. Robert Carlyle played very well.

@Florin: Yes, it can, especially in such a situation. And she didn't think about her own life either. It's hard to blame him here.

If 28 days later it is very cool and I would even say a masterpiece in its genre, then this is rare rubbish

Flashing lights, flickering, shaking camera, screamers and dumb kids: that's the guarantee that the movie sucks.

As much as I love the first movie, I hate the second one. It was necessary to manage to make sure that the virus, which was peacefully hanging out on the British island, also crawled into Eurasia.

The atmosphere of the first film is missing here... it's understandable, because both the director and the screenwriter are already different people. This movie is more like all the other zombie action movies.

the thought that flashed through the last film, that the living are scarier than the dead, is no longer so clearly shown here. It seems that they tried to transfer it here by shooting everyone, including living people.

I'm waiting and hoping for the third film. The old team has returned to him, I hope everything will be fine, and In the House - In a Heartbeat will be brought back.

No beginning, no end, no meaning. I don't understand at all why they took it off, what they wanted to show. Disappointed.

I didn't like that the kids who started the whole batch, because they couldn't sit still properly, became the only survivors at all. Unfairly. And judging by the last shots, the infected kid also made a mess in Paris.

The opening scene is great, I liked the plot with Jeremy Renner and the soldiers as a whole, but these children and the zombie father who chases them are generally passing by. The ending in the subway is absolutely stupid

It turned out to be some kind of formulaic, very bloody horror movie.

It's a strange movie. Disappointed, very boring. Firstly, people were told that it was impossible to cross the bridge, but the children were able to safely leave there. Yes, they were being followed, but why didn't they stop right away? Why is there no wall, barrier? Zombies can easily get in, and people can easily get out. Secondly, why the hell did the father of the children go alone to his wife? Like, is it that simple? Well, I don't believe it. Yes, he's a big shot, but he's not the most important one.
And why did the most important military officer ignore the doctor's words? Like, I don't care about this woman with a mutated virus. In short, rare nonsense

I'm one of those who still watched the first part in 2005 and later the second part too. And you can talk a lot about the dumbest scenes from the second film, of which there are 70 percent. But all the other 30 are just very tough and memorable scenes that make an impression on the first viewing. For all its flaws, but still this part looks fresher than the first one. At least she catches you, even with stupid actions. The first film, when reviewed in 2025, did not cause almost any emotions, unlike the second one. Here, only one opening scene with its soundtrack is worth a place in a separate collection. 7 hawk's eyes out of 10.

An underrated sequel. 28 days is the Day of the Triffids. 28 weeks is the Night of the Triffids.

The beginning is pure panic. The scene in the village where everyone is tearing each other up, and the hero leaves his wife and runs away — immediately makes it clear: it will hurt here. The infection doesn't just burst out, it literally blows everyone away without a chance. The first third of the film is tension on the verge of claustrophobia, the camera twitches, the breathing is short, the music is suffocating. Fucking.
But then... the plot starts to get murky. The American military, the drama with children, the strange decisions of the characters — all this slightly takes away from the pure anxiety that was at the beginning. I don't feel sorry for the heroes, the elections are stupid, and there's little logic. Moments like “shut down the city“ or ”send a helicopter against zombies" sound cool, but they feel like gameplay, not reality.
But the action is powerful, the blood has gone out properly, and the moment with the infection of the main character is chilling.
3½★ — for the dynamics, for the meat, for not being afraid to kill the characters. But the atmosphere is not as viscous as in the first part. It's not a horror anymore, but a zombie blockbuster.

About two years ago, I watched the first part of this franchise. I didn't like that movie. But I decided to give it a chance and watch the sequel. Unfortunately, it's not mine yet. Dropped it half an hour later. The shaking camera and the low dynamics of what was happening disappointed me.

A tough shooting scene… It's interesting to watch the sequel. In theory, the survivors from the first film and the second one will have to meet.

** The city of a thousand deaths.**

It's sad to see how, from the thirtieth minute, the authors burn out all the good things in the film with fire, and at the same time burn out the hope for something good. They just took the original movie, shredded it, and stitched together an outright farce of an ordinary popcorn zombie action movie with white threads of stupidity and indifference.
Where once the survivors were guided by common sense and banal safety rules, even if they struggled to overcome ethical barriers, now no one cares about safety, survival, or common sense.
Starting as a civilian with full access to everything, even secret rooms, who forgot about all warnings in a second. The military, consisting either of idiots with manic tendencies, or deserters, for whom a clear conscience is more important than the survival of mankind. And ending.. I don't even know what. The whole cocktail stinks so much that you immediately push it away, sometimes glancing in the blind hope of seeing at least some glimpses of something interesting.

In principle, this is not even a claim, given that all this logically led to total devastation. But this does not negate the fact that "28 Weeks Later" turned out to be a classic boring and empty sequel, where all the advantages of the original are negated by attempts to add more action, even if it can only be summed up by the stupidity of the script. However, I didn't expect anything else, but it doesn't get any less offensive.

A film made entirely of conventions.
The convention is that on the 200th day after the outbreak of the epidemic, children are brought from the mainland to a special quarantine zone.
The convention is that on the second day, children escape from a special quarantine zone guarded by snipers.
The convention is that the surviving infected mother is left in a special room without any protection.
The convention is that a civilian can enter a special room using his electronic pass.
The convention is that the children who started all this, who, according to the plot of the film, turned out to be obvious "brakes", become the only survivors.
There are too many conventions. Enumeration.

The most dangerous virus on the planet, the affected area is not fully understood, the virus is not studied, sending civilians to the affected area. Two morons somehow escape from the protected area, they are noticed, but they are not immediately stopped. They don't guard the surviving mother. They don't say to keep anyone away from her. The father (zombie) runs after the children the whole movie. Zero information (from Doyle) to Pilot Flynn that Andy has a special gene. And these people are MILITARY🙄

The funny thing is, when they were on the subway and fell off the escalator, Andy didn't hear Tammy and Scarlet because he accidentally fell into another subway line.🤣🤣🤣

Delirium after delirium, but the scene with the kiss seemed utopian and absurd. My wife is lying in a hospital bed, what the fuck is this saliva?! Just like in the first movie, they killed someone and immediately kissed him in the mouth. The last thing people think about is kissing.

Usually, when I'm struck by a review, I want to write a lot, but here the situation will be quite brief. The best part of the movie: the beginning (and the main soundtrack). The topic of "repatriation" is quite atypical, that is, resettling in a place where there was an outbreak of zombies, but the topic turned out to be undisclosed and with missed potential. The opening scene impresses with its strangeness (I can't immediately remember where else the central character was represented as such a d*grandson), but it's as if they hadn't screwed up the potential again. But then the pure comedy begins, in which it's just a pity for the character (the future Falcon, I couldn't help but). And so trash and idiocy. I understand the concept of "building supervisor", but why the hell does a random person without any relevant knowledge have access to a medical unit where a potentially dangerous "object" is placed? Why wasn't there a guard?? Well, the main meme that went viral at the time: a rabid father is so indestructible that he pursues his children throughout the film. It's just beyond surreal) Terminator Dad, why did he run away in the opening scene, all the zombies would bounce off him when they tried to bite)
Well, the obvious conclusion is due to the onset and development: all the troubles from stupid irresponsible children, first they dropped their native area, then they decided to put all the others down (again, how did they not detect an infection in the kid's body? Was a medical check-up not necessary?)
A great movie if you want to mess around on a lazy evening, such a confident average guy, if you put aside the feeling of disappointment from the good introductory potential that has been lost

@mooni_shiki: P.S. if "28 days" simply does not pass the test of time and becomes rough over the years, then "28 weeks" does not pass from the very beginning because of the stupidity of the plot, although it would seem that they do not even give a special ent, but it still looks incredibly stupid.

I liked the first part more, I was very scared when I was a kid, after watching it for a long time I realized that it wasn't scary at all)

The film tries to develop the ideas of the original and make the story bigger, but loses some of its atmosphere (The beginning of the film is powerful and emotionally tough, one of the most memorable scenes in the entire film, and maybe in all 3 parts.However, the focus then shifts towards more standard Hollywood action. Characters often make questionable decisions, which reduces confidence in what is happening. The tension is worse than in the first part, and the drama looks less complete. As a result, this is a watchable, but noticeably weaker sequel. 🤷🏼
Even more interesting than the first part. I feel sorry for Doyle and the girl doctor, I just hoped that they would get there together.
But I still didn't understand the chronology of events, except for the virus. I thought they would show a parallel from the first part.
@BeataKatamadze: And even somehow, according to the events, everything went very quickly, as if there was a second series, but with different characters. It's like there's a missing logical chain.
Well, that.. Just one look, no more

The scriptwriters were on strike, apparently. Because the whole movie is a hymn "let's do everything to destroy humanity." Why did the Americans come to England at all? Why bring civilians there? Then any child can easily get off this base... and at the end, "let's get the virus across the English Channel, why not?"

Logically, humanity is very lucky that the virus ended up on the island and did not go beyond. And zombies are also dying of hunger, as they said at the very beginning. Well, we would have waited 10 years, sometimes scientists in chemical protection were thrown in to study the virus on rats on the spot.

But after about six months, we'll take ordinary people there...

Dementia and courage.

I also don't understand why they returned people to a country that is obsessed with the outbreak of the zombie virus. Americans saving lives are more a mockery than a fact, fed, washed and shot. No serious security measures, although at the beginning it seemed that they had everything under control, so much for the helicopter and the snipers, but everything is based on fragile doors. In general, it is this absurdity that gives the film a minus, otherwise I liked it.
You can immediately see that the budget has become higher and the picture is of high quality, the extras are already inspiring, the cast is a plus. The beginning and the act of her husband surprised her, usually this is not shown, a coward, not a hero, but a man with his weaknesses, even though his act looked disgusting, but most of them. Unfortunately, Dr. Scarlet and Sniper Doyle did not fall victim, although to me the same children looked more like a background for them, and if the boy was doing something else, then the girl was just screaming and running.
This series is of higher quality, but in terms of plot, there are a lot of questions for the scriptwriters, the story started from nothing, ended quickly. It wasn't boring, the film was more of a plus than a minus. There's a separate star for the soundtracks.
