You can tell they had a lot more budget this time - they get to block off much larger and busier parts of London, not to mention firebombing major landmarks in convincing fashion. The infection is unleashed again.ĭon’s kids, Tammy (Imogen Poots) and Andy (Mackintosh Muggleton - and yes, I think those must be their real names) now have to scramble to survive, as the virus again spreads like wildfire and the troops (led by Idris Elba, one of the few good things about The Reaping, though he has only a very small part here) fight to regain control. So when Don gives in to his guilt, you understand completely why he’s doing it, even though you know it’s the worst possible thing he could do.

Like its predecessor, the movie goes for a pretty realistic look - these are ordinary people, not models, and they react in normal ways. But whether that’s true here or not, Don is terribly ashamed.Īnd in this kind of movie, my friends, guilt and shame will kill you, and probably lots of other people as well. So when someone fails to manage such a trick, we end up labelling them cowards.

The virus is unleashed on an unsuspecting British public, and the island is quickly decimated. I’m not sure this virus angle was the best way to go about their little project, but okay. “In order to cure, you must first understand,” says one scientist, shortly before an infected human tears his throat out. Just a slightly longer summary here, so you can keep reading the review: Some scientists, who apparently thought they could cure the human race of anger and thus stop war and violence (scientists really aren’t very practical sometimes), created a virus that induced rage - blind, uncontrollable rage. There are no characters returning from the first film, unless you count the poor beleaguered city of London, and all you really need to know is explained in the captions at the beginning. Now, maybe some of you haven’t seen the first movie, 28 Days Later (not to be confused with the Sandra Bullock film, 28 Days, because except for the titles, they have no similarities whatsoever), but that really doesn’t matter.
