28 Weeks Later (2007, DVD)

The Disease-Ridden, Flesh-Eating Rage Zombies return in '28 Weeks Later', but this time in an Apocolyptic Thriller that pits "Rage-Zombies" - VS - Innocent People and the might of U.S. Armed Forces.
"28 Days Later" Director Danny Boyle and that movie's screenwriter Alex Garland serve as Executive Producers this time around.
After a short prologue that sets up star Robert Carlyle as the type of spineless jerk he plays so well, the movie offers a short history of the 'Rage Virus' and how it turned its victims into Cannibalistic Zombies. Now 6 months after the first outbreak, the afflicted have apparently all starved to death. London is nearly a ghost town, the few survivors herded into a "Safe Zone". The American military is occupying the country, charged with keeping it safe as it attempts to rebuild from the disaster. Airplanes are flying in again, but instead of depositing business travelers and vacationers, the passengers are refugees returning from abroad. Teenage Tammy (Imogen Poots) and tween Andy (Mackintosh Muggleton) are among the latest repatriates, the first children to arrive and the only children in all of London.
The kids reunite with their father, Don (Carlyle), the Zone's Chief Electrician, but it is not a totally happy reunion. Not only does he inform them that Mom's dead, but also they have barely become a family again before "Rage Strikes Again".
Chief Medical Officer Scarlet (Rose Byrne) expresses concern at the children's arrival, certain that London is not yet ready to have the young ones added to the population. The prediction proves to be right in more ways than one, since the 'Rage-Virus' implodes the heart of the Safe Zone. The U.S. Army does not fool around, adopting a kill anything that moves attitude. 'Zombies' are unleashing and Tammy and Andy's worries skyrocket (with the rest of Rebuilding London) as they flee through the city streets. Bullets, firebombs, and chemical weapons erupting in every corner of every scene. A full-fledged Apocolypse-Battle is in-full engagement.
While some snivelling minots want to draw inferences to this symbolizing 'The War in Iraq' and an oppressive America (IDIOTS).... if Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and his Co-Screenwriters Rowan Joffe and Jesus Olmo intended this as some sort of veiled critique of American Imperialism it fails. Fresnadillo simply wants to blow up things real good and that he does; for the sake of action-pulsing nightmarish horror/slaughter — the firebombing of London is extremelly impressive with flames filling City Streets and shooting up through the buildings. (Wildly Impressive Cinematography).
There are elements of the original '28 Days Later' that survive: shots of an eerily empty London and the quick, chaotic editing. But unlike the first film, '28 Weeks Later' poses a new phase on what may turn into a 'Rage-Zombie' franchise? - As George A Romero started in his 'Zombie' franchise; "Rage" now sets the challenge and irony of "What can stop the Virus; but "Rage Itself"??
Good Film -- SEE THIS !!!!

i like the movie, loved the price, but never got it. even tho i paid twice now the seller never sent it to me and it makes me not trust ebay cuz this is the 2nd time its happened to me that some1 doesnt send my item

Awesome movie, cold and scary. Take place weeks after the first movie, couple of kids meet up with their Dad works in the contained area. The kids sneak out and find their mother still alive in the city and bring her back to the compound. Of course dad messes up and the rage virus is out of control again.

Improved, DVD shapes. Quick dispatch. I recommend. Work in France. Je l'achète car c'est le style de film que j'aime.

The movie continued from the first movie, 28 days later, at a point where they have controlled the epidemic and relocated the survivors. As far as the contents of the movie, it was a great plot and great ending. I bought it because I enjoyed it in the theaters and to share it with my family and friends.

when I first started watching this movie it said not for sale or rental, and it skips a lot. Worst movie I've ever bought from the internet.

Accidently sent seller wrong addy, have tried to reach seller by email to resend at my cost to correct addy, but haven't been notified that it was ever returned!! Still waiting 1 month later!

excellent movie, loved it, it was the best, it was great, five star movie, it was cool, it was a big hit

this dvd is great, i really like it alot although i think the 1st movie was a bit better i still liked this one. it plays very well.

I haven't got to see it yet it was a gife but they said it was good...I will get it back. It got here on time and everything it said...

If you like bloody, gore, killing, sci-fi, mystery, or thriller then this movie is most suitable for you. From the 28 days later, the U.S army kept a number of survivors in a secure town in London. They want them to re build the city again and start life again. However not knowing that there was 1 infected, hell came lose again. Now it's time for zombies to take over? Watch this if your interested. Watch "28 Days Later" before watching this because you know what happens in order.

I HAD THE PART 1 OF THIS MOVIE "28 DAYS LATER"...
AND THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS THE SELLER STEAL MY MONEY!!! I NEVER RECEIVED THE DVD... CAN ANY ONE NOTIFIED THE SELLER AND PLEASE SEND BACK MY MONEY.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was in great condition. It arrived in a very timely manner. This product was exactly what I thought it would be.

I bought this because all my kids said it was such a good movie. I bought 3 of them. One for each of my older(over 20yrs) children. They said I can't watch it until I see the first one.. 28 days. Must be good.. I'll find out soon enough. We are a movie loving family. All kinds of movies.

Strange. I purchased and paid immediately; it was to be a Christmas gift. Waited for it in vain. In seaching to communicate with the seller about the item not arriving, I found no record of the seller, the transaction or my PayPal receipt. I thought I'd gone crazy and had only imagined my entire purchase until I was sent this opportunity to review it. Yes, a review for a purchase that has no record of existence beyond my own memory.

As for the film, I'd seen it in the theatre. I'm not really one for horror movies, but I've enjoyed both that comprise this story. There's a strong element of exciting adventure, as well as feasible realism that is more horrifying than the gore, which is actually tolerable.

I bought this DVD for my sister for Christmas. I sent a money order and emailed him several times. Never got the video, was out the money, and had to buy my sister something else for Christmas. It makes me sick. I found out after the fact that he did this to 143 other people! I want my money back!!!!!

I didn't think this was that great. I went through a lot of effort to get it as it turned out to be bootlegged everywhere..and sellers were being shut down or dissapearing! I thought It was a "watch once" movie if that.

28 days later was more of a story horror movie all it did was tell the story with little action, but 28 weeks later starts out with a bang and doesn't stop, it kept me hooked till the end. This movie is a must have for all major horror fans!

Very Gory!!! It starts off the same but its a lot better story line and is more jumpy with a LOT more killing and blood. Not for those with a weak stomach.!!

this is a keep you on the edge of your seat flick!!! blood, gore and pain! not your typical zombie movie, with walking stiffs screaming BRAINS!!! the infected run fast!and they bite, rip, pull, slash, pummel, beat, gouge, this is one helluva cool movie as is 28 days later but better i think. i say buy it , if you dont like it, sell on ebay!!!! IT WILL RE-SELL!! PROBABLY FOR MORE THAN YOU BOUGHT IT FOR! i can never get enough of gore outta movies but i think this one delivers. you heart will keep pounding 45 minutes after the movie ends, mine did!!
DONT BECOME INFECTED!!!!!
rage can make a human do unspeakable acts of terror!

SEEN ONE ZOMBIE MOVIE, SEEN THEM ALL. SAME OLD SAME OLD. NIGHT OF LIVING DEAD TYPE OF THING. DON'T BOTHER, WASTE OF TIME. TWO THUMBS DOWN AND I AM A HORROR MOVIE BUFF, VERY DISAPPOINTING :o(

28 Weeks later had some big shoes to fill as 28 days later was excellent. There's not many movies that come out that I take the time and money to actually go see in a theater but this one was an exception. I left feeling like I had gotten my moneys worth as was the general consensus of those I went with. I didn't like the whole repopulating the City theme or the whole quarantined/non-cleared area issues. They would have been better off in my opinion having had successfully shut off the affected area from the rest of the world for the 28 weeks and then to have the infection suddenly leak out and begin to spread outward again. Perhaps the producers of 28 months Later (if possible) will read this and get back to what was great about 28 days later. By the way how the heck did 2 kids successfully get through all the trumped up security to get to the "non-cleared section of the city? And why would they take the risk of repopulating areas of the city so soon and so close to areas not cleared. Seems to me they would have treated that area like it had been hit with an atomic bomb! Maybe this was just average after all?

This movie was a great follow up to 28 Days Later. Anyone who doesn't think so is crazy I am sorry to say, this movie was a bloody good time! I can't wait for the next one!
