28 Weeks Later	comment	28 Weeks Later is the 2007 sequel to the 2002 British horror film 28 Days Later, directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo.As implied by the title, the story begins twenty-eight weeks after the events of the first film, where a literal hate plague ravaged Britain: a U.S.-led NATO force has established a foothold in the Isle of Dogs, where it's started the process of repatriating the countless British citizens left stranded after leaving their country during the Rage virus outbreak. Those who return end up quarantined in "District One" under heavy surveillance by US soldiers; Don Harris (played by Robert Carlyle), one of the quarantined, became one of the few people trapped in London who managed to survive the outbreak. Haunted by the memory of being forced to abandon his wife during an attack by a horde of infected Rage carriers, Don ends up reunited with his two children, Tammy and Andy, when they become new residents of District One.Since the Infected starved to death weeks ago and no evidence suggests the plague crossed over into other species, the survivors begin the process of trying to rebuild their former lives while the NATO forces begin an extensive effort to clean up further areas of London to prepare for rehabitation. When Tammy and Andy sneak out of District 1 in order to visit their former home, however, the survivors — and the soldiers protecting them — soon discover lingering traces of the Rage virus, which kicks off a frantic fight to keep the plague from spreading once more.Another sequel, called — what else? — 28 Months Later, was planned by the creators but has been lingering in Development Hell ever since the release of Weeks. It was eventually scrapped, with Danny Boyle and Alex Garland reuniting to make 28 Years Later.

28 Weeks Later / int_7286e96d	comment	Idiot Ball: If either the Chief Medical Officer or Sgt. Doyle had bothered to explain why the children were so important, even to the children, someone might have been more careful and we might just have avoided the infection of France and the breach of the sea border which was holding back the infection. The lack of the most basic security measures in District One. No effective barrier on bridges and few guards. It's about as easy as sneaking out of high school grounds during lunch break. The lack of any Anti-Rage security measures. No panic rooms. Individual homes are not fortified. Furthermore, the soldier put all the civilians in one big room, which is perfect to spread the Rage. On the children's part, they decided to sneak out of District One even after the military told them explicitly not to do so and why. As poor as the security is on the military's part, they may not have been expecting someone to do something as stupid as what Tammy and Andy did. If the military had placed even one guard on a woman they had every reason to believe was an asymptomatic infected, or ordered one placed on her immediately after they confirmed this, all would have been well. Don holds the biggest one of all. He pretty much single-handedly caused the second outbreak. The Apache helicopter was firing at a car fleeing from fire and poison gas because a bunch of insane Infected would totally do that. Although they probably weren't taking chances, considering that the Infected are at least smart enough to head into the underground to survive the firebombing.

Realistically, Great Britain would have been kept under a UN Quarantine for decades if not centuries to eliminate any lingering trace of The Virus before any attempt at recolonisation began. There are multiple instances throughout this movie where the second outbreak would have been easily prevented if only the US military had decided to post guards everywhere, leading to a situation where instead of being crazy, the guards don't appear to even exist! The lack of security both internal and external, leads to two children being able to easily escape the safe-zone and let the Rage Virus escape quarantine once again. Any quarantine room would have had doors that might have allowed entry with a keycard, but exit only with approval from someone outside the room. This simple precaution would have locked Don in with his carrier wife, and the death toll would have been two. Similarly, if the civilian quarantine cells had been secured at all, the infection would never have reached the thousands of people trapped in there. The little kid from the prologue. Whilst he can be forgiven for not losing the infected pursuing him before knocking on the first door he saw in desperation (it's actually impressive that he got far enough ahead of the infected that they weren't anywhere in sight when he was on the doorstep), when the infected attack the house several minutes later, the boy decides to run away instead of staying with the others. The adults in the prologue are even dumber, because this child immediately informs them that he's being chased by hundreds of infected. It's clear that the infected are still some distance away, thus it would be very simple for the group to grab some edibles and water and either go to the basement, or the upstairs rooms, or the attic, simply somewhere they won't be seen, and wait for the infected to pass the area. Karen in particular is this in spades due to her breakdown over her boyfriend abandoning them. When the group first hear knocking at the door, she shouts out thinking irrationally that it's her boyfriend whilst Geoff has the sense to silence her in case it's an infected. Later, when the kid is explaining within earshot that there were infected right behind him who are likely in the area, Karen in her delusions that her boyfriend is going to come back pulls one of the cloths covering the window away in the hope she'll catch sight of him, which leads to the infected outside finding the survivors and making Karen their first victim . It's REALLY ridiculous and not even excusable as an emotional breakdown . Watching this happen on screen might make the viewer want to jump into the movie and murder Karen. The old woman at the start of the film. Instead of running away from the infected, she decides to stay behind and argue with her husband.

28 Weeks Later / int_c95d04f2	type	It Can Think
28 Weeks Later / int_c95d04f2	comment	It Can Think: The Infected in this movie seem to have a bit more going on upstairs than the ones in 28 Days Later, particularly Don, who not only manages to survive the firebombing of District 1, but tracks his children through London all the way to the Underground. He also uses a gun as a blunt weapon when he kills Major Scarlett. He's not the only Infected to survive District 1, either, which implies he's not the only one who's retained some measure of intelligent reasoning.

28 Weeks Later / int_cccb4fd1	type	Death by Pragmatism
28 Weeks Later / int_cccb4fd1	comment	Death by Pragmatism: Inverted. When the quarantined civilians inside Sector One initially break out, chased by/mixed with Infected, the U.S. soldiers are ordered to only fire on infected. This causes their lines to be swamped by panicking civilians and infected that weren't identified fast enough. Since the crowd of civilians and infected were coming out of one large set of doors, with multiple automatic weapons trained on it, if the soldiers had unloaded immediately on everyone coming through, they might have been able to stop the infection right there.

28 Weeks Later / int_d60d12e4	comment	The little kid from the prologue. Whilst he can be forgiven for not losing the infected pursuing him before knocking on the first door he saw in desperation (it's actually impressive that he got far enough ahead of the infected that they weren't anywhere in sight when he was on the doorstep), when the infected attack the house several minutes later, the boy decides to run away instead of staying with the others.

28 Weeks Later / int_d6268c2e	comment	Shoot Everything That Moves: There's a fairly horrific scene where the soldiers are attempting to secure a compound by shooting infected, except that due to the speed and the confusion it's hard for them to make out just the infected. Then the snipers get the order that everyone is now to be considered a target...

Alice, who was with him, survives, though she doesn't describe his death. Likewise, Tammy and Andy are heavily implied to have died in the chaos that broke out in France, but it is also not shown.]]

While the rage virus is devastating in the short term, the infected's mindlessness leaves them with no ability to care for themselves, and the film begins after Britain's hordes have died off from simple starvation and dehydration.
