My new favorite zombie movie

Rating: 10/10 (24 October 2019)

Train to Busan was a non-stop trip through a phenomenal zombie film. The zombies were truly frightening, and I felt they behaved very realistically in their mad dashes to their targets. It was reminiscent of World War Z, while also giving more consideration to the limits of the human body. This is the first time I've seen a movie where the dead eyes somewhat affected their vision, and I absolutely love that addition.
The acting from even the child and the minor supporting roles was absolutely top notch. Even the smallest supporting roles were given so much depth that I was convinced the characters were real people. My only dislikes about the movie were how some characters behaved, but it's also very easy to see how some people really would behave that way in that situation, so I don't fault the movie for including them. It was very obvious the actors really connected with their characters' emotions, and it really paid off to create an epic film that was easy to connect to.
Most zombie films show a world where no one has ever heard of a zombie, but Train to Busan was more realistic for the current world. It was fun to see a group that knew the basics of handling themselves, and I loved that, even with this knowledge, they still struggled thanks to some characters' dumb decisions and the total chaos that is expected in that situation. It was an all around fantastic movie that I highly recommend.
