28 Weeks Later
Nach 28 Wochen sieht alles so aus, als sei das "Wutvirus", das Menschen in Zombies verwandelte, ausgestorben. Die NATO und die amerikanische Regierung wollen England neu bevölkern. Sie gründen einen Distrikt, auf drei Seiten von Wasser umgeben und damit einfacher zu überwachen, in den die Flüchtlinge unter Aufsicht des Militärs zurückgebracht werden. Darunter sind auch Andy und Tammy, die Kinder von Distriktverwalter Don Harris. Trotz strenger Militärkontrolle gelingt es den beiden Geschwistern, zu ihrem Elternhaus durchzudringen. Dort machen sie eine beängstigende Entdeckung: Ihre tot geglaubte Mutter Alice hockt völlig apathisch in einer Ecke. Sie wird in Quarantäne verfrachtet. Obwohl sie mit dem "Rage"-Virus infiziert ist, zeigt sie keine Anzeichen der Krankheit. Doch nach einem Zwischenfall eskaliert die Lage und das Virus wird plötzlich erneut freigesetzt. Die Militärärztin Scarlet, die Alice betreut hat, versucht Andy und Tammy zu schützen..

I jumped straight into this movie after finishing 28 Days Later, and it is a jarring experience. The low-fi cinematography is completely gone, but the soundtrack remains excellent. The plot shifts away from a survival story to more of a military action flick, almost like the shift from Alien to Aliens. There is also an attempt to build more lore, though I wouldn't say it really does all that much. I think this movie starts out incredibly strong. The opening scene is far better than that of the first movie, and the first half is going in some interesting directions that are really focused on family dynamics. However, a little bit before halfway, this movie just shifts into a dumb action movie. There is a ton of shaky camera and lots of dark scenes that make it borderline impossible to follow. I'm not even really sure what the purpose of some of the characters and their arcs were because they are ultimately discarded by the end. I don't think the first movie is a brilliant character drama, but this movie in particular feels like just a cameo fest of famous faces that are fully wasted. The worst part is that I actually think this movie had a lot of potential initially had it tried to just hone in on its central family instead of the military.
