    Storyline

    • Trivia
      It is stated on the DVD extras that all the actors who are playing infected people come from a "movement background": they have a history in dance, gymnastics, circus or mime. They also followed workshops to learn more about the infection and what they were supposed to do.
    • Goofs
      It would've been highly improbable for Don to have unrestricted access to Alice's cell. Considering the virus was extremely contagious and the fact that Don was still merely a civilian, he would've never gained clearance to a place as potentially dangerous as Alice's cell, because of such risk of infection. Only certain people such as Major Scarlett or General Stone would've had clearance to enter Alice's room.
    • Quotes

      Scarlet: It all makes sense. They're executing code red. Step 1: Kill the infected. Step 2: Containment. If containment fails, then Step 3: Extermination.

    • Crazy credits
      Like the first film, there are no opening credits of any kind once the company logos have appeared. Also like the first film, the title of the film appears only as a descriptive subtitle.
    • Alternate versions
      There is an alternate version when Andy is sitting in a subway station and a train comes with all his undead or uninfected family and he gets on but then it is a hallucination.

    The end is once again extremely ****ing nigh
    I've never been a huge fan of the zombie horror genre, but I was very impressed by Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later… Somehow it managed to create characters worth caring about as well as throwing mindless zombies at them. So when I heard that a sequel was in the making, I was excited but understandably cautious since the Disappointing Sequel Syndrome is all too common nowadays. I also disapproved of the director switch, fearing that yet another low-budget gem will be Americanised by Hollywood, made far too slick for its own good.

    So to say 28 Weeks Later was a pleasant surprise would be an understatement. Fresnadillo managed to maintain everything that was good in the original and add his own flair. The rage virus, the zombies and the gore are all still here. But most importantly, what keeps the series shockingly vivid is the willingness to flaunt the naked truth: we humans are the real monsters. Under such extreme circumstances, mankind's self-preservation instincts kicks in and it is an ugly sight to see. It might be the necessary thing to do, but that still doesn't make it feel right.

    The film starts off at an odd pace but soon settles into a familiar terror-stricken rush. The cast was well selected, nothing out of the ordinary but no obvious weak links either. The Americanisation was not as severe as I had previously dreaded, and I actually quite welcomed Rose Byrne and Jeremy Renner leading the plot. The shots of post-apocalyptic London may have been done already but they're still as effective as ever, and John Murphy's score is brilliant as always.

    All in all, a worthy sequel to Days and very few fans will be disappointed, I hope.

    FAQ23

    • Does the title refer to 28 weeks after the events of the last film or 28 weeks after the original outbreak?
    • Is this a zombie film?
    • Didn't Selena say in "28 Days Later..." that there were reports of infection in Paris and New York? How come Europe and America aren't in the same state as Britain?
