OK first off this review contains spoilers so just a heads up. this is defiantly an above average zombie movie with some beautiful views.. filmed in amazing locations. some things I like in this movie and some things i hated.
at the very start of the film I immediately noticed it was taking horror seriously instead of just making a quirky dumb zombie film the first scenes were dramatic and filled with dread. when the protagonist decides not the shoot the first zombie in the desert to save ammo I thought that was realistic. I liked how the two main characters got along together and chose to try to survive instead of yelling at each other the whole movie like two dumb children. some movies make characters hate each other just for some stupid dramatic moments but usually it's just annoying.
The zombies themselves are old school classic slow moving original dawn of the dead style. Not my favorite type of zombie ..even though I believe the slow moving zombie to be more realistic .. fast moving zombie's are defiantly more exciting and get the blood flowing quicker. I mean if you use slow zombie's you have to always use artificial situations to heighten the tension like when the main character had to climb the mountains.. before he did he was in a narrow ravine to give him less space to move ...with fast zombies you don't need any camera tricks or special situations to increase the tension ..when you see a fast zombie you gotta get the F--- out of their and fast..much more exciting.
over all the gore was well placed and not over the top.and the zombies looked decent. the acting was also passable for a zombie flick.
their were a couple of WTF moments in the movie though. of course when the main protagonist was given a baby that was a moment of tension that could have been a classic Sofie's choice moment ..instead it was crap . he should have had to choose to shoot the child and save himself or try to survive with it.. instead a miracle truck came by to save the day...and why didn't he just go with the truck? IDK.
another thing is when he went Rambo at the end and started chopping zombies like no tomorrow. WTF? after that long trip how he have that much energy to do that?. oh one more thing at the very end when the zombies are breaking into the American military base ...when did American armies have such weak ass bases where a slow freak weak zombie can break into a military base that supposed be able to take on tank rounds?? yeah yeah I sure their were hundreds of zombies trying to break in but some modern military bases are designed to survive a nuke attack and they can't hold off zombies ?? LOL OK. I guess we really are that broke.
anyway compared to most zombie movies this was slightly better then average and decent acting and nice vistas ..give it a try you might like it.
P.S. sorry for being so long and bad grammar this was my first review on here.
