28 Weeks Later Trailers

The inhabitants of the British Isles have lost their battle against the onslaught of disease, as the deadly rage virus has killed every citizen there. Six months later, a group of Americans dare to set foot on the isles, convinced the danger has come and gone. But it soon becomes all too clear that the scourge continues to live, waiting to pounce on its next victims.

Reviews
Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
TalkiesandJabberwocky 28 Weeks Later - One of my favorite zombie (yes zombie, don't start with that "they're infected with a rage virus, not zombies b.s.) movies. A much bigger budget than the first (28 Days Later), this one packs the punches and really keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. You don't HAVE to see the first to follow this one either, so dive right in!
jonzke I don't understand why this garbage has a 7.0 rating, do Americans really like this kind of action-gore than makes no sense at all? The plot is so bad and full of holes that it would take a full essay to list everything that's wrong with it.Summarized the whole movie is about stupid people making stupid mistakes and dying. Don't waste your time on this unless you have some kind of zombie fetish and don't care about anything else.2/10
Thomas Drufke The 21st century has been flooded with films and TV shows about zombie apocalypses, so it's difficult for any of them to stand out and feel completely fresh. But there's something about the '28' series that really hits well for me. There's something so glorious about seeing the streets of London be a wasteland that only occupies a select few living and undead.Similar to how the Cloverfield films are related but not directly tied in, 28 Days Later is a prequel of sorts, but the characters and plot are entirely different. 28 Weeks Later picks up after London is deemed safe and virus free, as the undead have starved to death after the events of the previous film. Of course, apparently it was a good idea for the military to reoccupy London and start building up a civilization again, even though it was the center of disaster only a half a year earlier. Implausible probably, but we've never really seen an apocalyptic series that attempts to go back and restart civilization from the same area. Usually we either see everything as the apocalypse is going down, or maybe several years later. So, in that way I like what the film tried to do.I also found the cast to be quite impressive. Not only do you have some nice lead turns from Robert Carlyle and Catherine McCormack, but you have Idris Elba, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner, and Imogen Poots before they became famous. All of which, do a wonderful job in roles that aren't necessarily flushed out. That partly because it's only 100 minutes long, but mostly because the film never takes a breath. That could lead to pacing and character issues, but with a non-stop action-horror, it actually works to the benefit of the experience. Adding to that experience are running zombies. Yeah, I'm looking at you every other horror film, it's cool to make them run.But perhaps the biggest compliment I can give to the film is its utterly unpredictable. With a horror film, you expect there to be an ample amount of deaths, but the way in which Juan Carlos Fresnadillo directs the deaths is terrifyingly unexpected. And when you can't see where the terror is coming from in a horror film than you're in for something special. In all, 28 Weeks Later improves upon 'Days' scares, story, characters, and plot to make for one exciting entry in the horror/sci-fi/drama genre. +Great performances+Horrific scares+Refreshing take on apocalyptic zombie flicks+Unpredictable9.0/10
Reidal80 I like 28 days later but after watch 28 weeks for my 4 time I realized love this one more , it feels like fulfill all the horrors ,also got more action and chaotic sense of fear, run is all you got...and dam they're fast! I know some people complain and don't like this movie saying the camera was a bit shaky, weird angles and fast shots but hey guess they start watching this movie thinking in the slow pace of the first one, so, give it another try because this is a hell of a good movie. The acting is very good, love Robert C ,Rose Byrne and the amazing Jeremy renner in his role of a marine with a kind heart(By the way : best death in the movie burnt by flamethrower! The only movie of virus, zombies etc that gets close to 28 weeks later is Dawn of the dead remake from Zack z... The music is also good and memorable, the places, empty streets and dangerous tunnels, wow post apocalyptic for real, i can talk about this movie for decades, so I'm out of here, see you in London!
