Danny Boyle recently said that he thought the sequel looks so good that he'd consider jumping aboard a third installment if this one delivers at the B.O.

I may have to reconsider then... I still think it ended nicely as it stood though.

agreed. it falls into the "unnecessary" category, but that never stopped me from seeing a film:p

I liked the first 28 days , and i am looking forward to 28 weeks. I have only seen the promotional poster on the site and a promotional shot in a magazine. This is enough for me to want to see the sequel. I think the fact that it is coming out of London is why i liked the first movie. As somebody has said on this forum, we don't see many horror films coming out of London.:cool:

"28 Weeks Later": Good or Bad?
 
:D Hurrah! The sequel to the box office smash "28 Days Later" has finally been acknowledged to the general public. "28 Days Later" was one of my favorite "apocalyptic" movies and I can't wait to see it's sequel. Maybe it will suck. As many horror films go, the sequels usually tend to bomb. Take "The Hills Have Eyes 2" for example. The 2005 remake of "The Hills Have Eyes" was excellent(personal opinion). It gave me the chills for at least 3 days. It's sequel "The Hills Have Eyes 2", was absolutely horrible. I can not wait to fork over $8.50 to see "28 Weeks Later".

What do you think?

Thank you for the trailer. This film looks great. A little disappointed that its different characters but at the same time their story has been told right. I think the repopulation idea is good (and clearly stupid lol who in their right mind would want to return after that lol). Im looking forward to seeing this film.

I enjoyed the whole film. I think the Military part was important to the feel of the film. It introduced the repopulation idea (in a crazy way) which is then followed up in 28 weeks later. It made sense and worked well. I think it showed the abondonment of the country, when even the military men where left on their own. In my opinion it showed the impact on different people. I liked the brutal scenes as the main characters tried to escape. Showing human rage. Sorry if you dont understand what I am trying to say I find it difficult to put into words.
