28 Weeks Later

I'm all excited about 28 Weeks Later, the sequel to 28 Days Later. The first one was so good! I can't wait to see if the sequel is going to live up to my expectations. I'm a little bit sad that Cilian Murphy is not part of the sequel, but it's not going to stop me from seing it. I actually think that the first movie was much better because there was not big stars in it. In fact, because it was a small British sleeper film instead of a big budget american action movie carried by a huge action star, it was easier to associate with the characters, fear for them and be unsure about what was going to happen to them. American movies always follow a certain formula and you always know that the hero is going to come out a winner. In 28 Days Later, I was not too sure of what was going to happen to our group of unlikely partners.

When I first saw 28 Days Later, what made it even more interesting to me was the idea behind the movie. I thought that the concept was fantastic and very thought provoking. For days, I could not stop thinking about what it would be like if a similar incident would happen in real life. Which franckly, would not be unlikely, in this day and age.

If you haven't seen 28 Days Later yet, I strongly suggest you rent the DVD.
