I have been watching zombie movies since I can remember watching cartoons, such as Transformers. This sequel to the 28 days later was an action packed thriller. Different than the first movie, which had a slow developing plot, 28 weeks later has you curiously cringing for action from the start. The characters are all different, which is difficult to do, and maintain the identity of the film.
The stage is set from the beginning with a band of clueless survivors not knowing that the end of the quarantine period is near. Jeremy Renner and Robert Carlyle are awesome in their respected roles. With Rose Burns being the best part of the movie.
Juan Carlos Fresnadillo is the writer and director of the sequel, and does a wonderful job of directing the movie in the new direction without murdering the firsts plot, or embarrassing the series like most sequels in horror tend to due. (i.e. Saw, Friday the 13th,and Nightmare on Elm street.) Juan Carlos, a fairly unknown director until now, who hit mainstream, nailed this job.
As for action, none is lacking. The quarantine is lifted in London, and they are slowly trying to integrate English nationals to their home country as all infected have either starved to death or eaten the living. The military has a series of protocol that will have you on the edge of your seat. (Think about it, just like in real life, a virus or outbreak is hard to contain which was captured quite well in this movie.)
I won’t tell you more; I will just say that this is a “3 1/2 Brain Rating” for zombie films. Why the 3 1/2 Brain Rating? Well, I have a hard time giving sequels a higher rating than the prequal, but I’m almost incline to give it a bump to a 3.75 Brain Rating, as the action and plot had me glued to the screen more than the first. They were just different but alike if you get my drift.
If I rate a movie 3 brains or higher it is a must see. Remember I won’t dive too much into the details as I don’t want to ever ruin a movie like the other critics. Just watch, test me out, and trust my ratings. I will never steer you wrong.

Well if you want me to point them all out... for example, in that sentence alone, it should've read "It's a review for zombie enthusiastS by A zombie enthusiast." If English isn't your first language, I understand that though.

Heheheheh, yeah you got me there. I do shortcuts like that sometimes. But I purposely do them. :-P
I'm just saying if your post is like that, I couldn't read a whole review like that. If you're going to write you should write properly.
Also, I don't really understand the poll question. But you're new and probably just made a mistake is all.

Once you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

I think he thought each question would be answered individually. He asked three questions. But that's not how the poll system works, and when making a new poll, it's fairly clear it doesn't work like that.

With the way it ended? They made room for a 3rd one. I don't think it bombed at the box office either, so i don't see why not. The only problem may be with the child actors. They've grown since, and would need to find a couple different kids to play the roles.
