'28 Weeks Later', Yet Things Still Seem The Same

The Good: Great cinematography, especially camera work, provide some really unique points-of-view in a genre that tends to be rather stale visually. A good performance by Robert Carlyle, who's been given an exciting role to work within. Not to mention the most creative use of helicopter blades ever.

The Bad: The plot feels self-contained to a fault and, even though I'm excited by the prospect of a third film (something strongly hinted at in the final moments of this movie), I expected greater consequence within the story of Weeks.

The Verdict: 28 Weeks Later is artistic and somewhat thought provoking, yet it doesn't quite evolve (no pun intended) as effectively as movie franchises are expected to do so in their second outings.

The Grade: C+
