I guess the director of 28 days later is most known to the large public for Trainspotting, but he is not anymore the director of this sequel and this is usually not a really good sign.

Loved the first one. I really wanna see this.
Love the first one, although Alex Garland didn't write this sequel and Danny Boyle isn't directing it. Therefore, since the original ties have been cut, the advertisers are trying desperately to make it seem like it's the same people responsible by saying "from the producer's of 28 days later", even though this movie could end up very different indeed.
The trailer makes it look good, but i think the reason the original was so brilliant was solely because of Garland's script, without which, it would've been just another zombie movie. And that's what worries me about this one.
I'll still go watch like...
damn... i was gonna use that movie title for my script about genital warts...
I haven't seen this yet but I liked 28 days later. I like how everywhere is abandoned and he walks around central London, and how the soldiers lured anyone who survived into a false sense of security.

28 days later was just a classic. It was so well directed and it showed how england can be so beautiful if there werent anyone around.
The whole scene where they were travelling to Manchester and looking and the horses and brian eno's- an ascent was used as background music =
GENIUS!

To both the last posts... I heard someone say that 28 Weeks Later is to 28 Days Later as Aliens was to Alien, and I think that is a great parallel. Both sequels take a low-budget, distinct concept and amp the hell out of it. However, the 28 Weeks Later director (Fresnadillo) really seems to simply be mimicking Danny Boyle's style whereas James Cameron truly brought his own style to Aliens. That said, Fresnadillo does a hell of a job parading as Danny Boyle. He incorporates many of the same short, chaotic shots during the violent scenes with indie-rock expertly blended in. And, to be perfectly honest, the character's stories for the first half or so is really well written, much better than anything written into 28 Days Later IMO. I would be shocked if someone enjoyed 28 Days Later and did not enjoy 28 Weeks Later.
If you don't go in expecting 28 Days Later 2, it's alright, but it's not in the same spirit as the first one, so if that's what you have in your head, it'll ruin the movie, 'cuz it's more Holywooded up, less isolated, and less gritty than the first. It's not terrible, but it's definitely not groundbreaking. It's a very good 'meh' in my books. A solid 3/5.
Three threads on the same movie? Wow.

Go see it, it's good. Despite everything you know about sequels - and horror movie sequels - it's very good.
Don't expect the exact same things you love about 28 Days Later. Expect it to take what you loved about the first, and take them in new directions.
Expect to see a whole lot more of the infected.
Expect to see the military in new ways.
Expect to see some brutal gore, and some brutal moments, character-wise.
