    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Danny Boyle has not discounted the possibility of a third installment. The working title is 28 Months Later, and would move the story on even further. But writer Alex Garland is a little more cynical: "I'll be honest. When we made 28 Days Later (2002), the rights were frozen between people who no longer talk to one another. And so, the film will never happen unless those people start talking to each other once again. There is no script as far as I'm aware."
    • Goofs
      It would've been highly improbable for Don to have unrestricted access to Alice's cell. Considering the virus was extremely contagious and the fact that Don was still merely a civilian, he would've never gained clearance to a place as potentially dangerous as Alice's cell, because of such risk of infection. Only certain people such as Major Scarlett or General Stone would've had clearance to enter Alice's room.
    • Quotes

      Scarlet: It all makes sense. They're executing code red. Step 1: Kill the infected. Step 2: Containment. If containment fails, then Step 3: Extermination.

    • Crazy credits
      Like the first film, there are no opening credits of any kind once the company logos have appeared. Also like the first film, the title of the film appears only as a descriptive subtitle.
    • Alternate versions
      There is an alternate version when Andy is sitting in a subway station and a train comes with all his undead or uninfected family and he gets on but then it is a hallucination.

    7/10
    28 Weeks Later takes everything that made the first work and expands the scale, intensity, and scares, making a sequel that honors and improves the first.
    Much more action-packed than its predecessor, 28 Weeks Later showcases the terror and speed of the Rage Virus overtaking an entire city. The panic and horror seize your heart as experienced and capable characters struggle to survive this unstoppable and overwhelming contagion. The scene where snipers try to pick zombies out of a frenzied crowd is gripping, fully displaying the hopelessness of surviving the raging hordes and their spread. 28 Weeks Later takes the anxiety and intensity of 28 Days Later and expands it from a small isolated story into a global pandemic taking over an entire city. It's a well-done terror-filled zombie flick with gore, action, and solid effects.

    FAQ27

    • Does the title refer to 28 weeks after the events of the last film or 28 weeks after the original outbreak?
    • Is this a zombie film?
    • Didn't Selena say in "28 Days Later..." that there were reports of infection in Paris and New York? How come Europe and America aren't in the same state as Britain?
