If a little kid shows up at your door during the zombie apocalypse, do us all a favor and put two bullets in his head.
This sequel to 28 DAYS LATER features none of the same ambitions or characters. No, this film is a 99-minute action set piece that wastes no time with story or logic. Instead, it uses the previous film as prologue, thrusts new characters into dangerous situations where they do the stupidest thing possible (Can none of these people imagine the repercussions of their stupidity? Have none of these people ever seen a horror film?) and then lets the zombie gore fly.
Despite this, I have a feeling that this’ll be the most satisfying action movie of the summer.
But, if there is anything to be learned from 28 WEEKS LATER it’s this: kids are stupid. They won’t speak up when they should, they’ll disobey you when they shouldn’t and they’ll always bring zombies to your front door. So, really, if by some strange reason we manage to find ourselves in an actual zombie apocalypse, do all of humanity a favor and kill every cute little urchin that begs you for help.
