Stills from 28 Weeks Later
Like I said, the film looks amazing. The cinematography and lighting are remarkable. I hate all these pictures these days that involve too many close-ups. This movie took everything wide and beautiful. It's remarkable for its look. That being the most significant thing about the film, the second most would be the story. I enjoyed how it felt original and mysterious. The family's story was effective and the writer inserted no cliche's. Also, the performances were great. Seeing Jeremy Renner pre-Hurt Locker was great.
The few problems I have with the movie do not ruin it, but rather just make the film less memorable. Aside from some shots of the infected father, there's nothing about this movie that I look back and think "That was awesome." 28 Days Later had a few good "wow" points that I can recall off the top of my head. The major problem with this film, is that there is no scene that I instantly remember and engage with. I loved the baseball bat scene of 28 days later and its following ending fight sequence. Really the only thing that was really cool about this one was the "sniper-bait" scene with the kid and Jeremey Renner. The helicopter scene was underdone, in my opinion. My only other problem was its sound editing. The first scene was WAY TOO QUIET!!!!As well as some others.
Other than the fact that 28 Weeks Later is somewhat unexciting, the story and style are equally as beautiful. It's a blast to look at. The only thing I would have asked for was a stronger element of action. Certain horror films, such as the recent Hills Have Eyes, are amazing for they're intense fight scenes. Have some infected duke it out with humans in a well choreographed environment and we're due for a classic. To conclude, 28 Weeks Later certainly does justice to the first film, but it does not do justice to its own potential. It had the tools to be groundbreaking.

Top notch sequel - Stanley Profitt - New Rochelle, NY USA
This movie is as good as a sequel can get(dare I say it might have even been a little better that the original) First it have a fantastic opening sequence, it is fast paced , terrfying,and non stop trills, unlike the first film with started off too slow. You really get to feel for and believe the charaters in the movie, its just plain entertaining.
