Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. BigGoonMookie29 – ★★★★
   “Top 5 opening scene in any horror film.”

2. LivingGhost1 – ★★★½
   “28 Weeks Later isn’t as groundbreaking as its predecessor but it’s a solid follow-up that’s a bit underrated and has some fire moments. The direction and character work isn’t as strong but the action and pacing is still pretty good.”

3. Digital Press – ★★★★
   “This sequel to the outstanding 28 Days Later presents a familiar apocalyptic theme—a depleted world swarming with infected humans now in the care of the military. Naturally, the protection is temporary or we wouldn’t have a movie! And 28 Weeks Later is a good one. The brand of infected humans featured in these movies do everything fast.”

4. Richard McDiven – ★★½
   “Fine movie but horrible sequel. Takes away everything that the first stood for and made it seem like a mindless cash grab that nearly doesn’t care for the indie work that has been done. The characters were as boring as the stitch on my ball-sack and I was personally on the government’s side.”

5. Jamie – ★★★
   “28 Weeks Later doesn’t match the greatness of the first but it’s still a fun enough time if you keep your expectations in check. The direction, editing and cinematography are very fierce and visual to make the audience feel super immersed and uncomfortable in the situation. Performances are great, however it’s the clunky script that lets this down because it feels very much like a video game.”
