Review of 28 Weeks Later (2007) by Aristidesz — 16 May 2007
Aside from a few plot holes and technical cop-outs; this was a pretty entertaining film with beautiful visual effects (i.e. day for night scenes with the survivors racing to the park.) Riddle me this: why wasn't the wife surveillenced by a football team of commandos? C'mon, this movie is better than that! She's left alone to be visited by a her repentful janitor man.
Come now. Also, the handheld frantic camera technique. Get over it world. Don't get me wrong, it is effective but after a hour, it loses its aesthetic impact and the zombie seq comes across like a 'Cops' rerun.
Gimme some widder shots, show the set and grasp me the physical choregraphy. Such as with the seq with detainees in the basement, it looked like some smeared spagehttii all over the screen. Pull back filmmakesrs, with a wider breath.
The score, for being as repetitive as it was, drove the movie such as the first flick and does it very well. All in all, compared to most recent zombie/virsus plague flicks, this francishe is on track but no 3rd installment is necessary.
Unless it called "28 yrs later" but that movie is already being made . . . um . . .
