28 Weeks Later Don't Bother * (One Star) 

28 Weeks Later is redundant, they told the story the first time.  Oh wait; in this version there are new players. Everyone is at risk of exposure, and if they become infected everyone must die.   (Cue for everyone to scream)

If you really like Zombie movies then you will like this as the graphics are good.  However, the cinematography is really fast and jumpy.  I guess they think if the camera man is extremely jittery, and acting really crazy, then you will be more scared? 

The only scary parts of this movie come from the directors ability to startle you with creatures jumping out of the darkness.  These scare tactics got a few screams and of course the thought of being one of the last people alive and alone is pretty scary.

The only scene to look forward to is the Helicopter scene.   It was great and the camera stayed still enough for you to watch and enjoy.   Who would have thought a helicopter could be such a vicious weapon?  There were also interesting characters played by children. I really liked the little girl, she was passionate and as she got dirtier she got more gorgeous.

I would definitely pass on this movie unless you are a fan of Zombie movies or savage brainless beasts coming after you as you escape to save your life.  However even then I would wait till the DVD.  The funny thing is they left it open for a third chapter of this story, and this is a part three I will sit out.
