28 Weeks Later Chases in $17 Million

28 Weeks Later is the sequel to the hit zombie thriller movie 28 Days Later. In the original movie the outbreak of the rage virus had just been unleashed. However, the sequel has a different story line, and it is 28 Weeks Later after the end of the first breakout of the rage virus.

In 28 Weeks Later you start with an opening scene of some people in a cottage. You soon find out that they are hiding from the infected inside their boarded up house. A knock comes to the door, and then yelling that says "Help me!". The voice is that of a little boys who is running from the infected. The family, after some stalling, lets the child inside their house, and re-boards up the door. Action soon takes place as tons of the infected rush the house, crashing through walls, doors, and windows. No one is safe within the house that contained a father, a mother, an older couple, and a couple of other characters. The camera streams through the house following the innocent characters running from the infected. Some people make it into a barn where they are attacked, while one person in the barn gets away to a river. In the house there are still the mother and the father, as well as the kid that was welcomed into the house. The father leaves behind the mother and the child to be killed, and escapes through a window and runs through a meadow towards the river where he meets the other character.

The story slows down a bit for awhile, and it's time for reconstruction in the city of Britain. The father made it away safely from the infected and waits for his children at the train station since they had been placed somewhere else safer in another location. NATO American forces have militarized the city in an attempt to control the virus, and much of the city is still "off limits" to normal people coming back to repopulate Britain slowly.

There is something special about the children, but I cannot say what. The story quickly unfolds, and more characters come into, and fall out of the spectrum.

28 Weeks Later hit an impressive $16.7 million in sales already from it's May 11, 2007 release date. The film is rated R and is slightly over an hour and a half in length. 28 Weeks Later was an impressive film indeed in all aspects. The point-of-views, the ideas, and the effects are all mind-boggling. I highly suggest the film to anyone and everyone.
