Decent

Rating: 6/10 (27 September 2004)

Had some good surprises and some good 'little guy' heroes parts. I'd say certainly worth a store rental, but not sure that it's worthy of a full fare price at the theaters. It seemed like it had the ideas right but was just barely missing that edge to make it a really good thriller/ horror flick about gene warfare gone batty. Perhaps they covered more of that in Res1...still seemed like they could have delved into the belly of the beast a bit more...like giving someone on the outside a conscience.
I thought the Zombies were a bit lame. Not menacing as a group - though there were certain close-ups that worked well. They just looked like sorta badly made up bicycle accident victims that were poorly directed. What's frightening about an opponent that travels at 1/4 speed? Right up there with dolls that can take down an adult, ya know? When the action did get heated it seemed like there were too many cuts - no flow to the fight scenes.
Don't look to close or expect there to be much logic in the plot line. Entertaining, but not as entertaining as Van Helsing on any level.
