I really enjoyed this film and thought it was just as good as the original. I usually do not want any trilogies but I think another one of these would not hurt...

Can't wait! I thought this was much better than the original (which I admired enough), and should stand up to more repeated viewing.

I disagree about it being as good as the original, but it was still messed up, and by that I mean pretty cool, but yeah, I suppose I'd be game for a 3rd. While I think they should keep a similar filming style, the setting should again be different. 1. Desolate Despair 2. Overcrowded Terror 3. ?? The natural title would be 28 Months Later. So what would happen in 2.5 years? Despite the disease reaching mainland Europe, would you keep the story in England, like the first two? Or perhaps have it follow a group of Brits who go somewhere else to help out?

Trilogies tend to offend me.But this is a no brainer in the evolution of this series.The story is relevant in this day and age with wackos out there with homemade chemistry sets doing what they please.I thought the film was very well made as was the acting.I look foward to a third movie,hopefully Danny Boyle will lend a helping hand
