28 weeks later was much better than 28 days later
title says it all...
i've read a review or two saying that it's just a sequel, but it's not
28 Weeks Later is so much more of an apocalyptic film. It is dirty, it is gritty, and the entire movie reeks of doom. Impending zombie doom. While the first movie was certainly watchable, it just doesn't share the darkness the sequel has.
There were one or two cheap "horror" moments, but that's inevitable and even forgivable nowadays. I'd go as far as to say that 28 Weeks Later was the scariest movie I have watched since The Descent.
Highly recommended.
To quote the fella sitting next to me, "Wow, that really made up for Spider-Man 3, what a crappy film that was."
