Mixed Feelings on 28 Weeks Later

summarizeEditor's Summary

I'm still trying to process my feelings about 28 Weeks Later, the 2007 sequel to Danny Boyle's original. On one hand, I loved how the story picked up right where the first one left off, and the characters felt more developed. On the other hand, the script didn't quite live up to the standard set by the original, and some scenes felt a bit forced. If you're a fan of the series, you might enjoy it, but if you're someone who likes to stick to the original story, you might want to think twice. The movie's got some intense action scenes, a haunting score, and stunning cinematography, but it also relies too heavily on jump scares and cheap thrills.
