Rating: OOOOO
This is an awful film! I was really looking forward to watching this sequel of 28 Days Later, but now I wish I hadn’t bothered. The film starts brightly enough, with a group of survivors from the first film (including Robert Carlyle) getting attacked by hordes of zombies.
However, it starts going downhill, and it just continues getting worse until the end. The story of how the virus once again spreads around Britain was silly, and the method the army uses to control the spread of the virus seemed too immoral! Maybe the film-makers think that ALL soldiers are evil? Who knows?
At one point in the film, we were shown the point of view of the humans (still and calm) and the point of view of the zombies (mad and angry). That was a good idea.
However, the story of tragedy, then hope, then tragedy again was unnecessary, and the presence of a ‘main’ zombie bad guy was a stupid idea too! One to avoid.
