This film, as a continuation of the first, works perfectly and looks amazing. I think Boyle chose a great team to head up this sequel. The casting is top notch. If you were a fan of 28 Days Later, then don't be hesitant, just watch the sequel and enjoy yourself.

Underrated in my opinion. This has a rare poetic quality to it (Carlyle's character receiving his wife's forgiveness through a consequential kiss that turns him into a zombie subsequently completely annihilating the beloved), and a strange dramaturgy which means it's wonderfully unpredictable. I love how one character after another seemingly evolves into the film's main hero, then just dies.

This is such a disappointing sequel. All that effort to get the kids out of England, and then of course they're the source that infects the rest of the world. It turned my stomach.
