28 Weeks Later

This technically well-made sequel to the astoundingly good "28 Days Later" is technically well made, but adding fairly respectable stars like Rose Byrne and Idriss Elba, and even the production assistance of the original movie's creative team Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, isn't sufficient to make up for the fact that it has very big shoes to fill, and for the most part, abdicates completely, attempting to substitute punchy direction and action sequences for punchy direction and a well-written, well-told story.

So, not bad, but it's kind of like seeing your favorite team come back from winning the World Series to play, you know, alright.
