What bothered me more than anything was that the guy kissed his wife, who was in quarantine, and was pretty much known to be infected but resistant.
Which isn’t even half as bad as him needing the super magical janitor key that let him go anywhere to get in, but the door can open from the inside of super duper quarantine room even without it.
Like I said, a lot of lazy writing wrapping a thinly veiled political jab at the US.
The best part of the movie was in the first 5 minutes. The rest was a fairly pedestrian zombie flick. Not particularly bad but not really notable either.

This sounds like a legit retarded concept.

Really curious how they are going to do this. I thought all the infected were dying off like a normal person would with no food or water. I guess it will have to be some dormant thing like in 28 weeks. Interested to see what they do I Days was a great movie Weeks was a solid sequel despite the flaws.

28 days later is better than 28 weeks in my opinion, but the opening to 28 weeks is probably the best sequence between the two. Just incredible. Dang now I want to rewatch both of these.

No joke, everytime I hear the title of these movies I think
"rehab" or "unplanned pregnancy".

I think this is an unpopular opinion, but 28 Weeks Later was terrible, especially considering the first.
You're telling me that the first thing you do when containment is broken is herd every single person into the SAME LARGE UNLIT ROOM? Then, after you do that you're going to not guard all the entryways?
Why not lock down everyone in their own rooms? Where the spread is limited to those residents?
The opening of 28 Weeks Later to set up the story was 10/10. After the first infection, it's 4/10.
I actually think I side with this more than what I said earlier about it not being a bad sequel. Well, I guess it wasn't bad per se, but it also wasn't particularly good. I don't remember much about it outside of the opening scene (which was awesome like you said). But I do kinda remember being underwhelmed by it back when I first saw it.
I may give it another shot soon since it's been so long since I've seen it.

I think it's pretty accurate, especially with a group like soldiers once shite hits the fan and falls apart.
I think in a real life apocalypse scenario, it would not take very long at all for men to revert back into that mindset and take what they wanted, especially when it comes to women.

28 days though?
thats a pretty short time interval to go from grunt soldier to apocalyptic warlord LOL
they were actively recruiting breeding stock before they even ran out of clean underwear

I read that as a pretext to engage in rape. Sure, there's a pragmatic explanation, but these guys are now free of society's shackles to engage in their worst impulses.

Their goal was sex and they had just discovered two females.
A group of military males, tightly wound, in their prime sexual ages who had been without sex for weeks, surrounded by a high anxiety situation.
They were going to get some release one way or another.
Justifying it by saying it was “for the future of humanity” was how they would cope.
There is a zombie series called Dark Tide Rising that has a marine captain discussing this with one of his subordinates a few weeks in to the group being locked down and stranded in a compartment on an aircraft carrier.
He explained how they were maintaining it with discipline for now, only a few weeks out, but since his subordinate was the only female in the compartment with multiple men in their early 20s in a high stress situation, it was going to ultimately happen and she needed to act now to maintain an element of control.
The discussion made sense and makes sense in this situation too.
Pretty much just saying that the “breeding stock” aspect was simply a justification amongst the soldiers to make the likely rape more palatable in their own minds.

makes sense I guess
I don’t have a frame of reference for sadistic sexual violence though, so to me it seemed forced. If you are deceiving people to come to your compound for no other reason than rape, you’re pretty far gone off the reservation, considering you know you’re going to have to kill the men beforehand
In any event a bigger disappointment is the ending. I read somewhere there was an alternate ending where Jim didn’t survive which I would have preferred all things considered
