ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Woodyanders Two radically different groups of people struggle to survive in a harsh world in which zombies outnumber people 10,000 to 1. Rugged Knox (a solid performance by Johnny Gel) escapes from the savage and evil Raiders outfit who are led by the nefarious Rome (an outrageously hammy portrayal by Jerry Lynch). Knox gets left in the desert to survive, but is saved by a benevolent ragtag group led by the macho Moses (the always dependable Fred Williamson in fine hard-nosed form). However, the Raiders soon track Knox down with revenge on their brutish minds. Director Ryan Thompson, who also co-wrote the blah script with John Tillotson, Ryan Lieske, and Matthew O'Day, lets the meandering narrative unfold at a sluggish pace, fails to generate much in the way of either tension or excitement, and doesn't do anything fresh or inspired with the formula premise. Moreover, the zombies aren't in the movie enough and the shoddy CGI effects are a pretty sorry sight to behold. On the plus side, there's a generous sprinkling of gore, the desolate locations are well used, the action scenes are staged with a reasonable amount of aplomb, and the slick cinematography and bouncy pulsating synthesizer score are both up to speed. Moreover, the cast do their best with the insipid material, with especially commendable work by Joseph Scott Anthony as the no-nonsense Roberts, Tommy Beardmore as the amiable Lucas, Alicia Clark as the scrappy Sarah, Tokkyo Faison as jolly sharpshooter Laurence, and Angelique Sky as the fierce Cienfuegos. A passable time-waster.

tommysegoro You know, I never realise that a movie can be this bad. I rented this movie through ITunes together with the other "Zombie Apocalypse" titles (there were 3 of them) and I have to say that ALL OF THEM WERE SO AWFUL!I hate to say bad things about anything unless it is really-really bad and unfortunately with all the 3 Zombie Apocalypse titles I rented, all of them were awful.Sorry, I'm just being honest.Story line doesn't make sense and soooo boring... Acting was just so bad especially the fighting scenes....oh man.... CGI effect was probably made by a 10-year-old?I'm wandering if they ever re-watch the movie during the making?I'm a die hard zombie movie fan but for the past few days my life has just been in total apocalypse by watching these series.Oh man............

Stephenjburn This film started with some promise, a man alone in the desert with zombies, unfortunately it all quickly spiralled downhill. I am a big fan of the zombie genre, even the rubbish low budget, poor acting kind that seem to be popping up so often, the makers of this film however have blatantly taken advantage of people like me by including the word zombie in the title. I can only assume that the creators added the zombies to this movie to attempt to add a twist to what would otherwise be a pretty awful Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome remake.The acting it pretty awful throughout with only a couple of exceptions, the male leads look so much like Kurt Russell and Michael Biehn that I had to check the credits to assure myself that their careers hadn't taken a massive turn for the worse. The female leads are solely there to be eye candy and for some reason to play out some strange princess Leia scene.This film steals so many ideas from other superior movies that I actually watched it again and found that in fact almost every scene was a rip off, just with pointless zombies.On a technical level the effects were poor, the little cgi used were awful, acting unconvincing, scenarios forced and the eighties music? Where did that come from?However... on a positive note, the reason I gave this film 3 stars rather than just the minimum is that I hold onto a slim hope that the writers knew what they were making, a story about a world where the zombies had become so commonplace that people pretty much lived their lives around them and where capitalism had taken over with only the strongest surviving. This would explain how all the characters were impeccably groomed throughout with clean clothing in an apparently dried out wasteland with no electricity? And because sometimes no matter how poor a film is, zombies will improve it.

themainmac In one scene, you can see a crew member standing in the background. Yes, it really is a crew member, because we backed it up and freeze framed it (there were no zombies in the scene, and it was at night when no one was supposed to be around, plus he's real close to the main actor). That pretty much tells you all you need to know. That and there are lines like "If I want your opinion, I'll rape it out of you." Maybe that was supposed to be so bad, it's good, but it's not. It's just dumb. There is a Snake Plissken character with an eye patch, but that's the sort of thing that is so obvious it belongs in a fan film, and the actor playing him is no Kurt Russell. I hate to put down an indie, but this movie just isn't good, and if you're going to get better, you've got to admit it. I'd really be afraid to watch the first Zombie Apocalypse since the filmmaker intended this to be a redemption for that bad movie. The makeup and effects aren't good either.
