Violence, gore, great soundtrack, apocalyptic, great special effects.  Four stars for production values, two stars for the over-the-top concept. Hence, three stars overall.

Good God this is a violent movie.  Parts of it are inspired, artistic violence set to driving indie guitar.  And parts of it are the cover your eyes type - zombies ravaging through hundreds of trapped humans, a helicopter acting like a blender to hundreds more.  I feel like I'm pretty hardened to movie violence by now, but this one had some tough parts.

I thought that 28 Weeks Later was almost as good as the first one with a clever story line and some very powerful scenes.  I covered my eyes for a lot of it - partly because it was scary, and partly because it was so hideously graphic.  Some inconsistencies and a disappointing ending knock it down to three stars.

I gotta disagree with the item description that reads " . . . refugees return to face a new danger".  Nope.  Same deal, different people.

SYNOPSIS:  For some unknown reason, NATO forces led by the US Army decide that a country that had been ravaged by a horrible virus that turns everyone into killer zombie-like things in the matter of seconds is somehow fit for repopulation just over six months after the outbreak. A series of monumental "bad calls" ensues.  In the middle of it all, the chief medical officer in charge finds out that there's a family out there who might have a genetic resistance to the virus.  Hopefully they're also genetically predisposed to be able to run like hell, too.

PROS/GENERAL COMMENTS:  Interesting "what if" scenario.  Nothing special in the cinematography, but there really doesn't need to be.  Lots of gratuitous violence, but it's kind of the point of the movie.

CONS:  With everything going FUBAR, it seems like there's no way that anyone could make that many bad calls in policy.  But, then again, I've been wrong before on that one . . .

OVERALL:  Okay, but might want to wait for matinee prices or for it to come out on DVD.
