Excellent zombie movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2007)

I giving ten out of ten for a zombie movie, this is a first as zombie movies are normally low budget trash, more worried about blood and gore, than a decent story line.
In general, a zombie plague spread via bites couldn't even take over the world, and could be easily contain by governments. So i find this hard to believe that zombies take over the world, unless it was something like bird flu. This movie does not waste time trying to explain how this plague started, none of the characters make any effort to work out, how did this all started.
In one scene, a group of survivors are discussing how the plague spreads, like by bites. Yet standing with them is Terry who has been watching a news board-cast that informs that the plague is spread by bites. Yet Terry says nothing and just stands there, like a zombie.
The movie is fast paced, full of action and never slows down, and gets boring. The story line is simple, a group of survivors hold up inside a shopping mall. I readied other people comments on why the survivors decided to leave the mall, that zombies are getting inside and food is running out. The fact is, zombies wasn't able to get inside the mall, and food wasn't in short supply. The reasons for wanting to leave, was daft, since the survivors was better off, staying were they are, not risking to leave, resulting in many of them been killed off. Of course they had to leave to bring more action to this movie, and dump off many characters in the progress.
Another fault is, why don't they tried early in the piece in rescuing Andy and getting his weapons, since there wasn't many zombies around at that stage. And they only want to rescue him after his own food supply has run out.
Another fault is, Anna has no problem in getting her truck over to the gun store, yet the two buses have many problems in escaping through the zombies.
Since its a mall, there would be countless radios, yet none of the survivors bother to listened to radios for any updates, or if there was any other survivors, which the reality is, there would be.
Despite its flaws, this movie is the best zombie movie i have seem, it has a good budget, a director, cast, production, everything. Which is freakish for a zombie movie, which are always low budget trash.
