RE: Meanwhile, 28 Weeks later...

>>The "island" in London was supposedly tightly held, but two kids slipped out quite easily.<<

It was 'tightly held" for months with no meaningful activity. The fact that the soldiers holding the parimeter were suffering from bordem and were prone to lapses in focus was well established. To me the real question is why di they let the kids get as far as they did once they were detected.

>>And where exactly was their mother -- or was it not her? -- when their father supposedly saw her die;<<

She was in the room where the husband left her being attacked by a few rage virus infecties. Given the pathology of the disease the husban was right in assuming she was either killed or infected which eventually lead to death by starvation over the 28 week period.

>> and what was up with that (apparently deliberate) confusion anyway?<<

I don't see any confusion within the movie. She survived because she had some unknown genetic resistance to the effects of the rage virus.

>>Why hadn't the military authorities thought through the operational basics of an outbreak or a panic? (Because then there wouldn't have been stampeding crowds, I know, I know.)<<

I think it was clear that they did but predictions are hard to make, especially about the future. It is not like crowd control efforts in real life have never gone wrong before. And they did have a built plan B. Fire bombing.

>>If you liked 28 Days you'll probably not want to miss this, but the former was a more profound statement on human nature than its busy sequel.<<

Overall I actually liked 28 weeks later a bit better but there were some problems like the father who wouldn't go away and the ridiculous masacre via helecopter blades. But the fear factor was pretty intense in this one.
