28 Weeks Later (spoilers)

[RabidLonghorn]

Boy what a crap pile compared to the first one, plus the questions, why were Americans the only soldiers in England? why not use NATO troops, daddy zombie was the group with his kids, later they jump into the car and drive off, then they stop go into a subway tunnel and surprise daddy was already there, How did he beat them there???, the tunnel was pitch black yet when the girl shoots daddy zombie you can see everything in the tunnel. Man I hated that movie.

not a great movie, but not horrible considering it was a sequel.



You werent paying attention at the end.

Maj Scarlett had night vision goggles thus the reason you could see.

Hey its an American movie, and our staunchest ally lost 80% or more of its population, so we offered our troops to help out.

Only 2 parts that I actually had a serious problem with was the fact that they made the father a super zombie- on a mission. And the "visible" nerve gas being defeated by a cloth over the face and an unsealed car with air vents.

Previous movie had shown the zombies to be pure instantantious rage- attack a healthy human at all costs. But all normal higher brain functions ceased (unable to open locked doors or get around traps).

And those zombies had to see, smell, or hear the human to find them. If the zommbies cant find you, they dont hunt you down.

This movie has the smart zombie, with the all access pass, able to USE the pass to get around undetected, and on a mission to catch his son for some reason. They never explain it.

The nerve gas scene was roll your eyes bad. if it really was nerve gas, you probably wouldnt have seen it, and if you could see it, it would have been too late, you would have already been dead.

Just as a point of procedure, I submit that 3 year old movies don't need spoiler warnings.

Thoughts?

2007 is three years?

It was okay, but nothing like the first. Aside from daddy zombie able to track his kids throughout greater London on foot, I think my biggest problem was with the military protocol when it came down to the snipers getting the greenlight to open up on EVERYONE below them. What about the troops that were already on the ground? Was that executive decision made by the general basically saying that the infantry troops were expendible? Confused me a little, and kind of pissed me off. Also, the sniper on the roof shooting at the sniper on the ground. Guy had a night scope, and a powerful one at that, why was he just going to waste his buddy, especially when it was clear that his buddy still had a weapon, was with kids, and hiding behind a wall from his gunfire.

That's all I got.

In the movie the guy said that the guy in the window was nervous or something along the lines of him being a rookie. Maybe just a normal enlisted man that picked up a sniper rifle.

 

[notreally]

this was more of a horror movie than the first one. not even in the same ballpark.

So what's it going to be, Tim -- six months or three years, what's the threshold? I'm drafting procedures now and we need to get clear on this.

The 3rd one, 28 Months later is supposed to take place in Russia.

Russian zombies don't get cold and are good gymnasts.

Honestly, I trash movies all the time, but i loved both of these. With how far fetched all these hollywood pieces of OU that are coming out, including the new Indiana Jones, the new Pirates of the Carribean, and even the new Batman, a little nerve gas doesn't really screw up a movie.

The Virus was also passed by the mother who was just a carrier. Maybe it had mutated to the point that it meant you could hunt someone down and not just freak out?
