Dawn of the Dead meet Escape from New York!

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2006)

I'm a huge fan of horror movies, sci-fi and Zombie flicks. I'm not a huge fan of action or gun movies and I hate movies based on games - but you know what - I LOVED THIS MOVIE!! This movie starts where the previous one left off, a plague has infected a city causing the dead to rise and seek to devour the living. Along with that is the understory is the "end of the world" aspect of how one could contain an outbreak like this how society would break down and it would seem that the end of the world is imminent. We have also the intrigue of a powerful company conducting dangerous experiments with almost complete impunity and dangering the rest of us. The viewer is left asking the question, could something almost this bad really happen, perpetrated by our government, a large corporation, a foreign power, terrorists? To what lengths will powerful people go in the quest for power or money? The movie is a great roller coaster ride of trills but also action characters that you care about, who are not just zombie fodder. The movie has some great action/fight sequences without being tedious like many of the karate or Tarrantino movies are these days. Well worth your time if you enjoy any of the types of movies I've described. A must see for zombie or apocalypse movie fans.
