28 Weeks Later
You know what’s so good about 28 Days Later & 28 Weeks Later? They’re getting ready to make 28 Months Later! Both the first film and the sequel were really good.
I tend to lean more towards liking the first one just a little more, because of the originality and the story. The second picks up 6 months after the first one left off. England is beginning to be repopulated, people are coming back, BUT their still is no cure or vaccine, which is a really bad combination when you’re still in the middle of clean up.
The only other thing I found, more distracting than anything, was that the shots in this film seemed strange at time. Almost as if the DP had to switch over to a camcorder. The color correcting was good, but that movie quality seemed to diminish at certain points in the film. I have no idea why though.
Overall, the film is great. Containment protocols fail, the squirmy coward from the beginning gets what’s coming to him, and a lot of people die or get INFECTED.
