2007
Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
Starring Don Harris, Imogen Poots, Rose Byrne
28 Weeks Later abandons the quaint, atmospheric nature of its predecessor and goes in the opposite direction; it's brash, unfocused, and wildly illogical. Months after the rage virus is contained and Britain begins reconstruction, an immune survivor/carrier pops up and jump-starts the whole cycle. Everything exists only to be cooler and more extreme than the original and very little works. Also, there are relatively few scenes of the infected and they're never particularly suspenseful (night vision scene aside). I mentally clocked out when an operating helicopter rotor was used as a weapon. Overall, it's technically impressive but pretty stupid.

that scene where the helicopter pilot cuts up the infected with his heli was just awesome. while thats what happenning i said out loud, "That's what happens..." then started laughing like a madman(im dumb). i guess i enjoyed that it was total opposite of the first film. but in some points it was flawed. i noticed there were no "light" moments in the film that would give it a certain boldness, i call it down time.
p.s. Flame throwers are awesome.
