5 Things About ’28 Weeks Later’ That Made Zero Sense and 5 Things That Made Perfect Sense

The sequel moves fast and hits hard. It also leaves many viewers asking basic questions. Some choices feel sharp and real. Others feel like the plot needed a push.

Here are five moments that made zero sense, and five that made perfect sense. We’ll switch between the two to keep things fair.

Zero Sense: Kids were allowed to leave the safe zone and cross the river

Two children walk out of a guarded district, steal a moped, and cross into the ruins. That should never happen under military control.
Basic ID checks and river patrols should stop any kid, every time.

Perfect Sense: An asymptomatic carrier can exist

A virus can infect someone without causing symptoms while still spreading. That idea is used in many outbreaks.
It explains how one person can restart chaos even when everyone looks healthy.

Zero Sense: Don met Alice alone with no protection

A high-risk patient is kept in a room, yet her spouse walks in without gear. No mask. No gloves. No barrier.
No serious biosecurity team would allow that, especially after a citywide disaster.

Perfect Sense: Saving the kids for a possible cure

A doctor sees the children as key because of their link to a carrier parent. That is a logical medical bet.
If immunity or partial resistance runs in a family, samples from the kids could matter.

Zero Sense: Code Red tactics made the spread worse

Civilians get pushed into tight spaces, lights go out, and panic takes over. That is the worst setup for a blood-borne virus.
Containment should separate people, not crush them together in the dark.

Perfect Sense: Snipers and strict rules of engagement

Early on, marksmen control movement and watch for threats. That fits a fragile repopulation plan.
When control fails, orders get harsher. It is grim, but it matches a last-ditch containment mindset.

Zero Sense: The helicopter mowing down a horde

A pilot slices through masses with rotor blades and flies away clean. That looks cool, but it strains belief.
Blades would foul fast, debris would wreck balance, and the craft would likely go down.

Perfect Sense: Fluids transmit the virus in seconds

One splash, one bite, one kiss—people turn fast. That rule is clear from the start and never wavers.
With a rule that strict, any small breach can collapse the whole plan, which tracks with what we see.

Zero Sense: Don finds his family across the city like a homing missile

The infected act mindless, yet he keeps showing up in the right place. It feels targeted beyond chance.
It reads more like a script need than a natural outcome in a raging crowd.

Perfect Sense: People panic and make bad choices

A husband runs to save himself. Crowds stampede. Soldiers freeze, then overreact.
Stress does that. In real crises, fear and split-second calls often make things worse.
