Great Zombie Flick!

Rating: 9/10 (21 March 2002)

I have some mixed reviews about this movie. I will detail the good points first and then point out a few flaws or holes in the plot that can make or break your opinion.
Good Points:
Music, action, zombies, blood, shooting, guns, some flesh flashing are all good points.
Action, shooting, guns and blood can all be categorized together. One compliments the other and it was all well put together.
Zombies were fantastic, with their heart stopping surprise thriller moments, great makeup and pretty good but not spectacular computer animated effects. They made me think of the old great Night of the Living dead movies, but the actors that portrayed them were better.
Music was fantastic, the score was great for this movie and I was well pumped up for all the action scenes.
Flesh Flashing.. well being a guy.. let's just leave it at that..

Bad Points:
Not many, while the music and score were great, it was a little too loud at a few points. The acting wasn't spectacular but adequate for a zombie flick.. just think back to Night of the Living Dead and remember how bad the acting was for those movies.
Lastly, the major plot hole I noticed. The movie shows that one of the blue vials were broken in the lab, the lab then sealed and locked. Allright that's fine, but what I find disturbing, and this is after having worked in a level 5 capable lab environment, is that the virus could become airborne through the ventilation system. Technically.. impossible. There are so many filters and security measures in virus labs that it would be completely impossible for that virus to go airborne. Even if the hive computer wanted it to. You just can't turn off a filter.
If you think about that, then there is no movie, they should have thought of another way to spread the virus, say.. through a plague of rats they were testing on or use the method that was used in 12 Monkeys.
Overall: Great movie and a must see for video game fans or not.
