28 mins later i wanted to leave

Rating: 4/10 (1 July 2013)

I was dragged to this movie by others saying it sounded good. I already suspected it was a flop from its trailers so i didn't really expect much. And just like i thought it was a very expensively produced train- wreak of a movie. Imagine watching resident evil, dawn of the dead, the walking dead or any other decent zombie movie/show.. then lets say there was no gore or cannibalism allowed,or even close up bullet shots to the brain, basically nothing remotely violent on screen even tho the story sounds violent. It has a few pop-up scare parts and a few parts where it seemed something could happen cool but a quick scene change makes sure we cant see whats going on fully. Like when they have to cut the army girls hand/arm off the camera pans up so nothing is shown spraying out of it or the guy that hears a zombie turns to run and shoots himself in the head(i must take there word for it cant see it). Any death in this movie happens so quick and is blocked so much because of the rating it hard to know who really died and who might have escaped a close call. The young boy who runs away from the apartment building with them in the heli is never seen after unless i missed something. One of the biggest flaws of the film is the locations they picked.. to most they might think well i liked the exotic scenery but from the trailer it looked like it stayed in a US city mostly(where it would be most exciting), if i had read the book before i saw it i might have understood the location changes better or at least expected it. Also the story goes on to say the US falls first because we didn't have enough guns/ammo... really?... just face palm. I think they really wanted to stay out of the US for filming since its to expensive really besides the books plot. Overall i don't think this is a worthy zombie movie given its budget and actors.
