I think I'm supposed to be the core demographic of this film. I like Zombie films and I don't even require them to be anything more than popcorny entertainment. Also I don't expect them to necessarily fall squarely into the Horror genre, Action is fine with me. Despite all this, 28 weeks was not an enjoyable offering at all. Theoretically, there is plenty of action, but the camerawork is so shaky and the editing so jumpy that you hardly see what's going on. The writing isn't just nothing special, it is glaringly lacking in every respect: the dialogue (and especially the military lingo) is often cringeworthy, and, as others have pointed out, the story makes absolutely no sense in very crucial aspects. The fact that the director doesn't realize the movie never had potential for anything more than mindless action makes everything worse. I'd like to tell you that you'll enjoy yourself if you don't take the movie seriously, but unfortunately the movie takes itself completely seriously and that's painful to watch. Four stars for the four actors that I like and that somehow agreed to do this...
