- Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: This keeps us on the edge of our seats while watching it and then makes us think about it long after we leave the theater. In other words: I had a blast.
- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: This film has its moments and winds up on the positive side of the ledger, but it’s also a frustrating experience that could have used a more stand-alone story.
- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: The collaboration between Boyle and Garland managed to evolve this world through its characters, particularly Williams’ Spike, and memorable kills.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Just when one thinks the zombie genre has been milked dry (we’re looking at you, ‘Walking Dead’), along comes Danny Boyle with his most dynamic and exciting film in years. “28 Years Later” leaves you breathless.
- Raissa Ferreira @ Feito por Elas [Portuguese]
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Delivers nerve-shredding suspense and real emotional weight. If only the ending wasn’t just a setup for another sequel.
- Kat Hughes @ THN
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: A boy comes of age in Danny Boyle’s new zombie sequel.
- [New] | Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: The 5th Annual JanuScary Special continues with 28 Years Later! Another horror legacy sequel that attempts to revitalize a dead franchise.
- Derrick Murray @ Nerdbot.com
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: The infected remain an effective, out-of-control force that is not easily dealt with without weaponry on hand. That said, the choice to evolve these creatures in a particular way sets up more to be tackled later, which intrigues me.
- Jacob Oller @ The A.V. Club
- Excerpt: A blistering adventure filled with dread and wonder, there’s a macabre classicism to the film—a sense that, even if life as we know it falls apart, some essential elements persevere.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Excerpt: Danny Boyle’s return to the 28 Days Later series swings more toward the pensive by going into more dramatic, personal territory with 28 Years Later.
- Christopher Reed @ Film Festival Today
- Excerpt: Though filled with some nightmarish images and ideas, it limits the blood flow, unlike its predecessor. Instead, the film offers a moving rumination on the pleasures of everyday living, with the occasional action scene serving as punctuation to its larger treatise.
- Diego Salgado @ Sofilm [Spanish]
- Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
- Excerpt: Director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland return 23 years later to the world ravaged by the Rage Virus for 28 Years Later, setting off a sequel trilogy to their cult classic zombie feature.
