Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
PeterBradford Nick Cannon plays the saddest excuses of a Hollywood stereotype of a black man. I am surprise Ving Rhames didn't take Nick aside and bitch slap him for accepting such a part. This film had potential. All of the other actors (besides the awful Cannon) were good. The efforts were good. The zombie make-up top notch. The dizzy- inducing camera work was bad. The film did capture that same oppressive feeling Romero captured in his original, although the story lines are completely different. But Cannon's presence is about as offensive as it gets.
darth-tobe This film didn't make sense on so many different levels. Now, of course, it's a work of fantasy but I strongly believe that a story can be a completely dreamed up and still make sense in its own set of rules. This one doesn't have any.A few minor spoilers to illustrate the point: the little town this is set in is literally a dead end - there's only a single road in or out. I'd like to see the topography! All soldiers sent in to quarantine the town are armed, except one, and others even make fun of him. He's essentially this film's Jar Jar Binks. Another soldier is issued a gun but no ammunition - and this is never explained. Said soldier abandons her post, uses a military vehicle to make private house calls and doesn't even get frowned at by her superior officer. The infection takes precisely as long to break out as it needs to - call it "Gandalf". A few zombies retain their personality but only those that make the story more interesting. Add to that a few bland characters that you couldn't care less about and one black character that's so stereotypical it's almost offensive.On the whole the movie tries and fails to copy from big names of the genre, not only the original Day of the Dead but also 28 Days Later and Resident Evil. Sadly, the result is not even remotely scary nor inventive. It gets a 3 only because the satisfying gory visuals reminded me of what World War Z should have looked like.
denis888 Mena Suvari is a sweet decent actress. she shone in several 90's movies, whether they were comedies, or erotic dramas, but here she tries her hand at a horror flick. Did she do well? I can say, that maybe she personally was not bad, but the movie itself is a mediocre attempt to make yet another zombie kill film. They are aplenty, they run, kill, eat, attacks, roar, yell and do frighten... There is nothing new, and all the clichés are here galore. That was not a really poor film, but so predictable, so obvious, that yawn appeared soon, and ReWind button became a Must. Sad but true, the movie drags along and never grabs our real attention. Can be viewed once and then very quickly forgotten
topbananas Similarity to the Romero classic stops at the name. The premise of this 'version' is quite different- the zombie plague breaks out during the course of the film, as opposed to being well established as in the Romero original. Whete the original 'Day' took time to develop characters , suspense and drama using largely unknown actors unfortunately this film rapidly turns into a brainless shoot em up, packed with cliché upon cliché, there are so many ludicrous moments, it is astounding the actors did not stop during filming and question that no one would ever behave in the ways the characters do. Its a shame, because the film obviously cost a lot of money, and the sound, effects and sets are well done, but there is some very dodgy camera work and editing with the zombies being speeded up and given odd behaviour such as being able to defy gravity. Even the usually talented Suvari is just drifting through this film, her face having 'what am I doing here' written all over it. Nick Cannons character is so appalling as to be deeply offensive to anyone with half a brain. The plot holes are just a joke. No one seems panicked at the mayhem taking place, other than the screaming blonde girl with the tight vest, the gun shop packed with untouched automatic weapons that wasn't locked, and so on and so on. A waste of time better spent doing absolutely anything else. This film has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I pity Ving Rhames all the way to the bank.
