I found my self greatly imersed in a film today...one that i honstly did not know much about, however what i did know was that said firm was in fact, a zombie movie. I must say i am a fan of the genre, however it is rare, (with the excption of the recent Zombie land which i highly recomend) that i find myself deeply engauged in a film of this type. Over the course of this film, between the quite disturbing and realistic "infected" and about twenty of them being chopped to bits by a hellacopter blade, i found my self genuine careing about many of the Characters. While i was rather impressed by the amount of well exacuted drama i also enjoyed the abilty of director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo to pick up on the feeling portrayed by the first movie in the series. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo has not made many movies that stick out in my mind as "gems" however he is signed on and in the pre-production phase of a film adaptation of the smash hit video game "BioShock" witch if done well could very well make his career. Juan Carlos Brings us an intresting style with many hand held or sholder mounted "shaky" cams much in the style of Paul Greengrass. A switch in Directors for a Sequel can often be a risky and damageing move *Cough..Saw Movies...Cough* espically when you go from a man like Danny Boyle (who made history with his Slumdog Millioniare) To a much less known artist such as Juan Fresnadillo. I must hand it to the men who made this risky discion that it was not a porr one and the feeling and integrty of the series remaind intact after the great switch. You must keep in mind that this is in fact a "Zombie" film no matter how well acted or truely dramatic it may be. Over all i feel compeled to say that i was a little comfused by the ending but over all 28 Weeks Later was a well directed and supreising well acted fikm and worth the 100 minets.
