Gotta say I don't know how the hell this one kept under the radar so well! Completely surprised of its existence and even lookin at the webby n trailers for this bad boy - I gotta say it looks pretty damned good!

Anyone else for a slice of zombie heaven? (ok ok so they aint technically zombies but you all know what i mean!)
 
I reckon it may be hard to try and NOT compare it to land of the dead but we shall just have to wait and see wont we...
 
duno about this one. 28 days was a classic and im hoping this one is good too. Seems like lots of action and scary bits from the trailer, so i have high hopes for it !
 
just incase people want to know the song in the trailer (i did)

its Muse, Shrinking Universe!

but this film looks just as good as the first!
im just wondering what triggers the virus after 28 weeks?
and will we ever find out what caused the virus

Surely the cause of the Rage virus was the medical experiments being done at the start of the first film (when the animal rights lot charge in). As to who is behind that research, I can't remember if its mentioned it during the film but I always assumed it was the military.

I love the first movie, but it had 1 huge drawback.

The whole of London and most of the UK has been turned into red eyed zombies who either spew on you infecting you right away, or beating you to death...

So the movie starts off and this guy is walking down the cleanest streets in the world :rolleyes:

what a load of donkey ballz, there would be crashed burnout wrecks everywhere with rotting corpses by the 1000 for the eye could and the ground would be splattered everywhere with blood.

hopefully the involvement of the US in this sequel will include a bigger budget to accurate create what should have been a holocaust type scenario, I gather in this version the US is on a humanitarian aid mission to the uk to gather up all the survivors and restart a society, then the virus suddenly breaks out again...

we shall see

TBH that would have ruined the film if it was anything how u described, yeah sure i agree with you that would have been more accurate but it also would have ruined the atmosphere of the film.

The whole point was that he was alone, and no one living or dead was around, and he basically didn't have a clue what the hell had happened. I think being a large city such as london by yourself, with no noise people or movement of any kind, and the poster boards with missing ppls pictures on, is far more atmospheric, creepy and generally more unnerving.

If it was how u describe he woudl of basically went outside been shocked and then thought, "ok something **** has happened a better run for it and hide" END OF FILM!

Its the fear of the unknown and not knowing whats happened is why its so good.

in the comic book there is some more detail about this it does not mention the military just some very shady government scientists trying to create a drug that pacifies humans but as the guy says in the film 'in order to cure you must first understand' so they intentionally create a virus to make people enraged in order to understand what specifically causes rage. However after seeing what he has created one of the scientists decides to inform an animal rights group and we all know the rest........ ;)

is the comic worth getting?
 
28 Days Later was fantastic – great story and Danny Boyle. I’m worried that the story of 28 Weeks Later will be a bit rubbish and there’s no Boyle! Who is Juan Carlos Fresnadillo anyway? I’m expecting a typically poor sequel.
