I just came back from watching 28 Weeks Later. Let me premise this by saying that I live in the tiny slice of London where this takes place, so I may have enjoyed this on a level that wasn't just cinematic.
There is something so unreal about seeing places you walk by every day suddenly OVERFLOWING WITH ZOMBIES. Heeh. I loved the way the movie was directed and I loved the plot and I loved the crappy parts where there was too much graininess and some plot-holes (duh, plan B was to quarantine them in a hall where someone could just walk in through the back door?) and I loved Robert Carlyle in a Danny Boyle movie and, ahahaha, they brought the disease to France! But most of all I loved that it takes place here.
I have lived here for four years and I have always adored it, so I cannot TELL you how excited I was to see this movie. It was a bit sad when they had to firebomb it, and then it just lay there smoking, and I swear I saw my apartment go up in flames, but still, LOVED it!
The nearest cinema is just up by canary wharf, so it was a bit of a weird experience after, walking straight out on to the place most of the stuff played out. Yeah, I have no perspective on this movie whatsoever. As soon as they were anywhere else in London, I got a bit bored. Heeh. No, I really did enjoy it, I liked the first one and this was a great sequel. It didn't feel like a sequel, it didn't try too much to please or play up to the first one, it just was, they clearly set out to tell this story and didn't get sidetracked. Fab!
