Dons AAA card gets him full access to the labs (and whilst I understand the definition of Access All Areas – this is essentially a military facility – what possible need in his day-to-day role would he have to access a research lab? Maybe i’m naive and they hand those out like Skittles. The pick up shots at the end where we see the Eiffel tower are a great nod to a potential 3rd film but aesthetically don’t really fit coherently with the rest of the films framing. “Right well, get in then……………………………Is anyone infected?”
Essentially it runs as : “Where’s Hawkeye?” The scene in Wembley with the helicopter comes across as unresolved. Toward the end of the film, the night vision escalator scene comes off comedic and awkward – the clumsiness of the characters stepping over bodies – when really it should have been the most weighted and meaty section of the film. Presumably the FX guy was told “a big puff of smoke for each”. This is also painfully noticeable in the gas and bullets impacting the ground. Helicopter cutting up the infected could have been the coolest piece of splattergasm cinema ever undertaken but the CG let it down so badly. It all looks a bit Sliders when they run out of the tunnel and the fireball is chasing them. The film falls down during some of the more CG-heavy scenes. In all fairness to that scene it would make a solid mission for a computer game adaption. “How am I supposed to do that? Run down and ask them?”. Personally if I was perched on a rooftop and my commanding officer said : “Only target infected” he’d get a swift “aye, dead on mate” in reply. It also shifts the behavior of the infected as they shown to be more cannibalistic whereas before they were just shown to be violent in any way possible. INFEGBIE! It’s fair to say the tone of the film shifts dramatically along with the narrative when he becomes infected. A solid gold presentation from Robert Carlisle before and after he gets infected, and goes full Rage-Begbie. Rose Byrne spent a good portion of the film leaning on him both physically and in performance. Renner played it straight up the middle with his portrayal of a noble man conflicted at his current predicament. He ran out on his wife Alice when they got overrun by infected. There’s a slicker and altogether more commercial feel to the film by the time two more of the characters are introduced as we arrive at the London (District 1) staging grounds : Sniper – Hawkeye (A fresh-faced Jeremy Renner) and Pilot – Augustus Hill (An able-bodied Harold Perrineau). JUSTICE FOR DON!īy now we’re comfortable with our protagonist. I’m clearing the mans name on that sin at least. And it’s worth noting that in the previous sequence Don was fighting the infected off with a crowbar whilst the rest of the survivors ran. Going up against one infected, unarmed, is a lost cause never mind a bunch of them in a confined space. Alice knew what was at stake and went back for the kid. Realistically he couldn’t have saved them. They portray him as a coward and set him up as spineless. The audience is forced into the moral dilemma along with Don, and to judge him on his decision to leave his wife. As a viewer I felt more aligned with Don and his guilt over leaving his wife. The emotional plot is consistent throughout this film but is entirely inadequate.

In this section they have delivered more of a classic Zombie Horror feel (Although technically not Zombies – Lets not get into this again, please), with shots of windows bursting open and arms bursting through clawing viciously. This harrowing sequence is completed by the musical suite (and unofficial franchise theme tune) from the first film – the haunting ‘ In the house – in a heartbeat‘ by John Murphy which frames the atmosphere of these scenes thunderously. Shot in a stylistically similar and graphically kindred fashion this section reeks of an impending jump-scare, which the filmmakers draw out for as long as humanly possible. The opening scenes of this film feel like they are lifted straight out of the original in visuals and theme at least. Released in 2007 ( COUGH) the film largely follows Don, a survivor of the initial infection but shifts to the perspective of his children Tammy and Andy who join him in the repopulated safe-zone in London. SPOILERS! ( Guys, it’s been out since 2007) This follows on from our review of 28 Days Later Continuing on from our last post – we look at what this film did for the 28 Days Later franchise.
As far as 28 Weeks Later is concerned that rule is both equally embraced and dismissed. Obviously the exceptions to this rule are loud and proud in their dismissal of it ( Aliens, Terminator 2, House Party 2…….

It’s an unwritten rule that by and large, the majority of movie sequels are inferior to the original.
