Good movie with a bad and confusing ending

Rating: 4/10 (15 July 2011)

The set up about the survivors taking shelter in the mall is very good. But it gets kind of boring as they camp out there for about 75% of the movie without anything really happening. However, the movie becomes exciting when they build the buses and at the rescue-scene at the gun shop. This is spectacular made! :) It's also nice when they drive off to the docks, but here the movie takes a turn down into total flop...Sorry to say that. As the survivors are just ready to take off with the boat, two of the main characters have to be abandoned (maybe they felt like it, I don't know, especially CJ) and Michael coincidentally has been infected. The last thing you hear is a gun shot by Michael shooting himself and in the credits (as a torture against the audience) we have to follow the end titles because you can see short clips from a handhold camera showing how they discover an island...WITH ZOMBIES ON IT! Camera drops down. WHAT?! Did they die? We don't know. Too confusing ending. I think they could have moved the action a bit forward so they would have used like 15 % of the screen time in the mall, then build the buses and then the movie could have been about how they drive around to find a safe place. That would have worked a lot better in my opinion. So ... Ending is bad. Action takes too much place in the mall. But the start and set up is actually quite good. 4 stars.
