Product Description
Product Description
28 WEEKS LATER, the follow up to the hugely successful 28 Days Later, picks up six months after the rage virus has annihilated the British Isles. The US Army declares that the war against infection has been won, and that the reconstruction of the country can begin -- but they could not be more wrong. As the first wave of refugees arrive, and a family is reunited, a terrible secret is revealed: The virus is not yet dead, and this time, it is more dangerous than ever.

As an exercise in pure, unadulterated terror, 28 Weeks Later is a worthy follow-up to its acclaimed predecessor, 28 Days Later. In this ultraviolent sequel from Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (hired on the strength of his 2001 thriller Intacto), over six months have passed since the first film's apocalyptic vision of London overrun by infectious, plague-ridden zombies. Just when it seems the "rage virus" has been fully contained, and London is in the process of slowly recovering, an extremely unfortunate couple (Robert Carlyle, Catherine McCormack) is attacked by a small band of rampaging "ragers," and the cowardly husband escapes while his wife is attacked and presumably infected. Their surviving children (Imogen Poots, Mackintosh Muggleton) fall under the protection of a U.S. Army sharpshooter (Jeremy Renner), but nobody's safe for long as 28 Weeks Later goes into action-packed overdrive, with scene after blood-gushing scene of carnage and decimation. The film's visuals follow the look established in 28 Days Later, this time with bigger and better scenes of a nearly abandoned London on the brink of utter destruction. The military subplot gets a bold assist from Harold Perrineau (as a daring helicopter pilot) and Idris Elba (in a too-brief role as the military commander), and their firepower--not to mention the efficient lethality of helicopter blades--turns 28 Weeks Later into a nonstop bloodbath that's way too intense for younger viewers and guaranteed to leave hardcore horror fans gruesomely satisfied. That's all there is to it--this film is almost plotless and dialogue is minimal throughout--but as a truly terrifying vision of survival amidst chaos, 28 Weeks Later honors its origins and qualifies as a solid double-feature with Children of Men. Could there be another sequel? Thanks to the "chunnel," the answer in this case is definitely oui. --Jeff Shannon

The government is so quick to rack up casualties over taking a delicate approach to the zombie outbreak, so they start shooting everything in sight. It leaves our 2 kids, the lead in Imogen Poots, out on their own to defend for themselves against a world turned against itself. Though they make a rather stupid decision in the beginning to put themselves in the position they're in, it's an otherwise thrilling adventure following them through the city streets. Joined by Rose Byrne from inside the quarantine zone, they are later taken under the wing of Sergeant Boyle who is played by Jeremy Renner long before his claim to fame. He changes his mind about following orders and notices the kids slip into a safe building and promises to lead them and other survivors to safety. It amazes me each time I watch this now how much the movie is about him and how he really gets to be the hero of the story. I really think his character has the best arc of the film, though it starts late and ends early, seen to a close by Harold Perrineau from Lost. I really think this is the action-heavy version of 28 Days Later... that Danny Boyle would never have been able to allow himself to do as a first film.
28 Weeks Later has plenty of action, characters, and story to please anyone. I think it's one of the better zombie movies, and definitely one of the best zombie sequels we've seen outside of the "of the Dead" franchise. Recommended for fans of Jeremy Renner, Rose Byrne, or Imogen Poots looking for an old filmography gem, as well as zombie fans and those who enjoyed the original film. Blu-ray copy came in great condition, and this release does not include a DVD or digital copy.

The film's moody atmosphere and beautiful cinematography really captured the horror of the world these films have created. The story itself follows a family -- in particular two children, Tammy (Imogen Poots) and Andy (Mackintosh Muggleton) -- who basically, innocently, and tragically, bring back an epidemic that was thought to be long gone. On the verge of rebuilding the city, the children return from a holiday to their father Don (Robert Carlyle) after losing their mother... but upon sneaking away to get personal items, including a picture of their mother so they won't "forget what she looks like", the children unleash a chain of events that lead to the outbreak happening all over again. Supporting players outside the family include Scarlet (Rose Byrne), who doesn't get much characterization but her determination to keep the children safe makes her an admirable character. The real standouts are the pair of Doyle (Jeremy Renner) and Flynn (Harold Perrineau), two military men who have a fun chemistry and are forced to make tough and heroic decisions based on the children's fates.
The idea that the infection itself cannot spread due heterochromia and leaves the infected only carriers who can infect others but not themeslves is an interesting addition to zombie (well you can't really call them zombies can you?) fiction and the ambiguous ending leaves you to wonder what truly happened and leaves it up for your imagination. The acting is good, even from the children who manage not to fall into the "annoying horror movie children" category (unlike the predecessor's Hannah character, whose acting was godawful!). Looking back, you wonder who's really at fault -- was it the children for sneaking out and bringing a "carrier" back to the city? The military for not keeping the carrier under better watch? Or was it just a matter of time before it happened all over again? I love me a horror movie that keeps me emotionally attached and mentally interested, and this movie did both with the good acting all around and the cool scientific integration to the infection's background and how it all works. I don't understand all the poor feedback, but to each their own. I really enjoyed the movie.

While die-hard Boyle fans may initially dismiss this sequel due to the fact that the visionary director opted not to reprise his role at the helm, a quick glance at the credits reveals that not only did he remain onboard as executive producer, but the original producer, original screenwriter and even the original composer, whose swelling score effectively drives home the emotion of the smaller, quieter moments while seamlessly sweeping the viewer up in the action scenes, all saw fit to remain on board in order to keep the machine running smoothly. Throw into the mix a promising director and you have the perfect recipe for a sequel that impressively maintains the aesthetics and intimate feel of the original while subtly expanding on the mythology in a manner that, while impossible to discuss without resorting to spoilers, feels both fluid and organic.
Though this sequel has a handful of eyebrow-raising issues, the overall result is a thinking person's "zombie apocalypse" a flick that maintains an impressive emotional core while never losing sight of its genre roots.
The directors abilities may not yet be honed to the fine point that Boyle's were by the time he took on the infected, but he does display an impressive ability to conjure convincing performances from his players; Robert Carlyle in particular hits all the right notes as a survivor of the original outbreak whose fate is sealed by a particularly blameworthy act of cowardice. Whereas the director could be accused of relying too much on the eye-straining technique of camera jostling when things take a turn for the worse and the infection remerges, it's hard to argue that the technique doesn't effectively convey the chaos that characters experience when trapped between trigger-happy snipers and teeth-gnashing zombies. Even when the technique is more restrained, however, the direction has the ability to make the viewer believe the situation is calm before pulling back to reveal that things aren't quite what they seem and it goes a long way in driving home the disorienting volatility of such an explosive scenario.
In terms of screenwriting, the story is full and rich and nicely balanced so it doesn't bore us with re-visited details of the last film but gives us enough depth so newcomers to the Franchise can understand what is going on. This results in the creation of characters that are identifiable and sympathetic, and unrelentingly tense situations that truly fray the nerves.
In the end 28 Weeks Later is a film that's likely to be as polarizing for many viewers as its predecessor was due to its unique experimentation with genre standards. Weeks impressively expands on the ideas of Days while upping the scale and terror ante, and actually attempts to stimulate thought rather than insulting the viewer's intelligence, there's quite a bit to like about this vicious little screamer.
In einem vom Wutvirus entvölkerten Großbritannien versucht die NATO eine Wiederbesiedlung. Die Infizierten sind nach 28 Wochen alle verhungert und somit muss das Land nur noch "gesäubert" werden. Glücklicherweise konnte das Virus nicht von der Insel entkommen und somit wurde der Rest der Welt verschont.
Die bedrückenden Bilder eines total entvölkerten London sind diesmal irgendwie noch trostloser als im ersten Teil und man fragt sich automatisch ob so etwas jemals wirklich passieren könnte.
Auch der erneute Ausbruch des Virus ist packend in Szene gesetzt, handelt es sich doch nicht einfach um einen überlebenden Zombie sondern um eine Infizierte die das Virus zwar trägt, aber nicht daran erkrankt ist. Intelligent wird hier mit dem Überlebenswillen des Virus als auch der Menschen gespielt. Außerdem wird die Parallele zu echten Viren wie HIV gezogen, auch hier gibt es mittlerweile Menschen die nur noch als Wirt fungieren.
Das Militär verhält sich in der ersten Hälfte des Films Hollywood-untypisch und damit beinahe sympathisch. Es fordert die Exekution der Gefahrenquelle und nicht die Ausbeutung des Virus zum Nutzen militärischer Zwecke. Doch bevor der Befehl ausgeführt werden kann ist es natürlich schon zu spät sonst hätten wir ja keinen Film zu sehen.
Über die Handlung und vor allem die zufällig anmutende persönliche Beziehung der Hauptfiguren (eine Familie) mag man sich streiten, ich persönlich halte sie für einen passenden Rahmen um die Geschichte weiter zu erzählen. Wie sonst sollte man eine so große Story herunterbrechen um sie dem Publikum näher zu bringen?
Der Soundtrack ist einer der besten der letzten Jahre, ich würde behaupten die Musik macht hier mindestens 50% des Filmerlebnisses aus. John Murphy hat etwas geschaffen das unglaublich trostlos und atmosphärisch zugleich ist. Wenn man wie ich einen Hang zu surrealen Bildern hat wird ein wunderschönes Meisterwerk daraus.
Leider ist er zur Zeit nicht auf CD zu bekommen sondern nur über I-Tunes.
Ich würde mich auf einen dritten Teil freuen. Von mir aus kann es auch gern noch ein paar Jahre dauern wenn dafür das Ergebnis so beeindruckend wird wie hier.
