Large scale stunts also occur with much greater frequency and a large cast of extras fill evocative sets. Further reinforcing the 'Hollywoodisation' of the film, the special effects are pretty impressive - A firebomb sweeps through streets, choppers swivel and swoop, things explode and a whole flock of Infected get minced by twirling helicopter blades. The kids, with Rose Byrne and a decent support cast (including 'Lost' star Harold Perrineau and 'S.W.A.T.'s Jeremy Renner) plot their extraction, while now having to avoid being sniped as much as eaten.While the original was shot on a paltry budget of US$9.8 million, ' 28 Weeks Later' reeks of big dollars. A sole infected zombie manages to begin spreading the Rage Virus inside the green zone and naturally, the US military presence doesn't react very logically. Byrne is gorgeous, but her acting is definitely on the flat side. She gets caught up in the chaos that ensues when Carlyle's kids decide to break through the barrier between the safe inner-city area and the unsecured and contaminated wider London.

Flavour of the month Australian actress Rose Byrne (last seen in Boyle's Sunshine) dons fatigues as a chief medical officer. After a harrowing introduction where he escapes pursuit by a mob of Infected, he's reunited with his progeny who are actually the focus of the remainder of the story. He's the father of two teenagers who have returned to London, where Carlyle works as a jack-of-all-trades to aid reconstruction.

Talented Scottish actor Robert Carlyle replaces Cillian Murphy's meek lead and injects a lot of personality into the role in the process. If we wanted to see a standard, traditional zombie movie, we'd watch something by Romero.Īs Europe begins to recover from societal collapse after the catastrophic Rage Virus outbreak in '28 Days Later', the US army is spearheading reconstruction of a small 'green zone' in London's CBD.

The problem is, fans of '28 Days Later' enjoyed that movie for the fresh angle on a worn subject. The film has a very different feel from the original, though - which was almost inevitable, given different captains at the helm this time around. Garland wrote the original, as well as the recent sci-fi film 'Sunshine'.Fresnadillo, who also co-wrote the screenplay, is a fair substitute for Boyle.

Also missing from the creative mix is Danny Boyle's writing cohort, Alex Garland. However, Danny Boyle opted to sit as Executive Producer and handed directing responsibilities to Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (director of 2001's 'Intacto').

'28 Days Later''s ending begged for a sequel and we all know how fond the Hollywood machine is of capitalising on an established audience thus, ' 28 Weeks Later' was born. Of course, there was also plenty of blood and spurts of extreme action - but it was kept in check by the odd quiet of empty London and the open countryside. That's why Boyle's serious and decidedly British take on the undead genre stands out - he opted to show a much more personal and human angle in a traditionally shallow and formulaic style of film. Making a good zombie film isn't easy to do - for every original take, there are a dozen flicks that do little more than pile up the limbs and occasionally show some skin. When 'Trainspotting' director Danny Boyle released '28 Days Later' in 2002 on an unsuspecting public, he left a lasting mark.
