What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Debashine Thangevelo  The pace is exhilarating, the scenes are unrepenteantly gory and the story is gripping. | 15 |  |
| Die Burger Jacques Liebenberg | 15 | |
| Cape Times Carina Chocano While 28 Weeks Later lacks the streamlined thrust of its predecessor, it makes for compelling, adrenalin-fuelled viewing just the same. | 15 | |
| Mail & Guardian Shaun de Waal | 12 |  |
| The Citizen Bruce Dennill Visual effects often wreck otherwise strong stories, but in this movie, they are responsible for some of the most profound emotions experienced by the viewer. | 14 | |
| Sunday Times Barry Ronge The new director provides a few new characters, but basically this is the same movie we saw five years ago. | 5 |  |
| BBC Paul Arendt While it's a fun addition to the genre, 28 Weeks Later feels a tad redundant — it doesn't do anything that the original didn't do better, and it lacks that film's understated lyricism. | 10 |  |
| Box Office Wade Major The overall impact is so strong and the product so slick and polished, that 28 Weeks Later simply cannot be characterized as anything other than a spectacularly satisfying surprise. | 13 | |
| eye Weekly Jason Anderson The rare sequel that trumps the original in many regards, 28 Weeks Later is a ruthless beast of a thriller. | 15 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Another week, another disappointing summer sequel. So it goes… | 10 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers 28 Weeks Later is the rarest thing you’re going to find at the movies this summer: a sequel that doesn’t suck. | 15 | |
| ScreenItDecent at times -- in terms of pure action -- but redundant at others, and desperately in need of some sort of image stabilization, the film hints at yet another sequel. | 8 | |
| Metacritic.com 34 critics | 16 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer A tense, scary mix of atmospherics and punchy direction. | 14 | |
