Six months after the original epidemic, the rage virus has all but annihilated the population of the British Isles. Nevertheless, the U.S. Army declares the danger past, and American soldiers arrive to restore order and begin reconstruction. Refugees return to British soil, but one of them carries a deadly secret: The virus is not gone and is even more dangerous than before.

Critics Consensus

While 28 Weeks Later lacks the humanism that made 28 Days Later a classic, it's made up with fantastic atmosphere and punchy direction.

3/4

It's an exciting, well-directed thriller that, while providing more than enough action and gore to satisfy genre fans, also offers the political commentary that has characterized zombie movies.

There isn't much acting here, but there is entirely too much vomiting, and the prose turns laughably purple, too.

Even though I knew the scares were coming, I jumped out of my seat a few times.

[Director] Fresnadillo drives the scenes of zombie mayhem with a jumpy camera and a fractured editing style that adds a sense of panic to the chaos, as if seen through the terror-stricken perspective of an adrenaline-laced bystander.

Screenwriter Alex Garland’s willingness to get weirder and more mean-spirited in his follow-up is an unusual and admirable choice.

Stranger, more diffuse, and less wedded to conventional notions of realism and regularly occurring jump scares than its predecessors... [although] no film in recent memory has been more deserving of an “incomplete” grade.

Após ter assistido a Primeiro filme confesso que minhas expectativas estavam altas em relação a sua sequência, mas infelizmente esse filme deixou a desejar, a química entre os personagens é fraca e os diálogos não são nada empolgantes. No final resta só mais uma outra perseguição em filmes de Zumbi. PS; existe uma grande diferença entre personagens que são ingênuos para fazer com que o filme se desenvolva ou serem simplesmente serem idiotas e o os personagens principais são idiotas em um nível que me dasanimou.

It was honestly not that bad. It had everything going for it and looking at the whole trilogy. I think it’s pretty great.

this is just not as good as 28 days or either of the 28 years movies. it feels rather generic, there are far too many explosions and the cgi does not fit into the low resolution mobile phone type of camera work the franchise is built on, so it just looks fake, grainy and dithered. this is still watchable though, just filled with issues. the decision to include so many hollywood conventions as well as a prominent us military presence has stripped this entry of the franchise's deeper meaning. for instance, the helicopter blade scene that's featured in some of the trailers: this is gruesome, entertaining, relatively novel, but in a technical and aesthetic sense it feels like it belongs more in a resident evil movie than a series that is supposed to inject the apocalypse with real human emotion and allegory. we want poignant content, not zombies at the carnival getting chopped to pieces.
