"28 Weeks Later" is the sequel to the surprise science-fiction hit "28 Days Later". In the beginning, we see a small house in England. Six people are holed up, trapped by the infected people running the streets. A small boy manages to find them...only to lead the infected to them. One lone man manages to escape. We fast-forward seven months, and people are being allowed back into London, which has now been declared free of infection. The US Army has been cleaning up, and believes that the Rage virus has been eliminated. Unfortunately...they're dead wrong.
This movie can easily be categorized in the same genre as "Outbreak". A fictional movie, certainly. However...both are easily possible, and even plausible. Watching the movie gives you a certain feeling of dread, considering how such a disease may already exist...or someday could. The cast is decent, and the ending leaves a potential third movie wide open.
All in all, a movie as good as the original (a rare thing indeed). A definite one to watch...if you can handle it.
