Great movie

Rating: 9/10 (23 September 2018)

There was not one minute I didn't enjoyed watching this movie. The writers did not waste a second on this. From beginning to ending the plot was very well packed with climax after climax.
The movie started off a bit clichÃ¨ with a single divorced parent and a daughter he cannot spend enough time with because of his work and busy schedule. It's a very good plot to see their relationship develop through the movie though. Which by the way was a success.
The important part of this movie which makes it so unique is the fact that this movie does not, ironically, focus on the zombies. Their origin, cure, strength is not the main focus and will not be explained. What the movie actually represents (and this is my own interpretation) is the interaction within a group of people (representing a society). This movie shows how people react to a 'threat' emotionally, morally and by action. Zombies are just supposed to represent a threat in this movie but still be a tool to make it an action-packed horror movie on the way.
Most of the movie take place in a train and creates an original and claustrophobic atmosphere for a zombie movie. The story was pretty close to a real life experience with no really weapons involved or ordinary humans who turn out to know everything about the zombies and fight them as if it was originally their job. Their were a few minor things in the movie that didn't seem to make much sense though.
The main character was not that likable in the beginning. Towards the end he started to grow on me. His daughter, thank god, did not turn out to be a clingy annoying daughter. She was suspiciously calm during the whole process of surviving. The husband of the pregnant women was probably my favorit character as for the baseball boy who was quite likable as well. Very colorful characters. The villain a little exaggerated in my opinion but acceptable if you think about the fact that he is supposed to represent the ignorant part of todays society.
I spent two hours on a great zombie movie and would recommend it to everybody.
