Product Description: The film pick up six months after the Rage virus has spread throughout the city of London. The United States Army has restored order and is repopulating the quarantined city when a carrier of the Rage virus enters London and unknowingly re-ignites the spread of the deadly infection wreaking havoc on the entire population. The virus is not yet dead and this time it's more dangerous than ever!!Format: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: HORROR/ZOMBIES Rating: R UPC: 024543471103 Manufacturer No: 2247110
Amazon.com: 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. The film's visuals follow the look established in 28 Days Later, this time with bigger and better scenes of a nearly abandoned London on the brink of utter destruction. The military subplot gets a bold assist from Harold Perrineau (as a daring helicopter pilot) and Idris Elba (in a too-brief role as the military commander), and their firepower--not to mention the efficient lethality of helicopter blades--turns 28 Weeks Later into a nonstop bloodbath that's way too intense for younger viewers and guaranteed to leave hardcore horror fans gruesomely satisfied. That's all there is to it--this film is almost plotless and dialogue is minimal throughout--but as a truly terrifying vision of survival amidst chaos, 28 Weeks Later honors its origins and qualifies as a solid double-feature with Children of Men. Could there be another sequel? Thanks to the "chunnel," the answer in this case is definitely oui. --Jeff Shannon

28 Days Later was a surprise hit, so you knew there would be a sequel. This is a decent zombie flick -- except these zombies are wicked fast runners! -- but there were just too many plot holes.
[Note: Some spoilers follow.] I never figured out why the people infected with the rage virus never attack each other rather than concentrating exclusively on the uninfected. Given they are so whacked out as to not be able to even feed themselves -- we are told that everyone infected the first ... Read More

I'm an old hand at horror movies. I've watched them for a long time, and seen lots of them. I like intelligent horror, not the "let's spend the whole budget on tubs of blood and guts from a slaughter house" horror.
I loved the original 28 Days Later. I loved all the possible endings they had shot for 28 Days later (well, the story board idea sucked). It made me think, and even made me rethink my view or irradiated fruits :D
28 Weeks Later sucked. No thought was involved I the ... Read More

In a genre where sequels fare poorly, this exceeded expectation. The movie starts 28 weeks after England was ravaged by the virus in 28 days later. The US army has taken control of the country, the zombies have died out, and folks are slowly repopulating. The writers put a stronger family element than most zombie flicks. Of course things don't go well, and there's a lot of sprinting away from the bad guys. The movie's pace is very quick and it's over before you know it.
The downside are ... Read More

"28 Weeks Later" is one of those rare sequels that is better than the first movie, 28 Days Later (Widescreen Edition). This time there is less of an attempt to make a "deep" movie and switched to a standard formula of suspense and action (oh, and gore too). Other reviews have covered the plot lines, so I will not rehash them here. The film has a strong story line, good acting, good suspense, and great special effects.
Recommended for fans of the genre.

"28 Weeks Later" picks up where "28 Days Later" left off. The virus that's been turning ordinary human beings into flesh-eating zombies has apparently run its course, the infected humans have all died of starvation, and Britain is slowly being repopulated with many of the citizens who fled the scene at the start of the epidemic. One of those returnees is Don (played by Robert Carlyle), who is suffering from survivor's guilt after leaving his wife in a moment of panic to be devoured by the creatures. Or ... Read More
