Good Not Great

Rating: 6/10 (18 September 2013)

I watched the HD unrated version on demand last night. First, the only relation this movie has to Max Brook's book is the title. Second, the first 30 minutes were fantastic and had me on the edge of my seat - maybe because I am a father with two girls about the same age as the characters in the film. Lastly, after the first 45 minutes or so the storyline devolved into the typical Zombies want to eat humans and humans are trying to stop them apocalypse film. Having said that, if you liked 28 Days Later and Dawn of the Dead (2004) this movie is definitely worth renting; it is full of solid action, a different kind of zombie (if you're a Romero purist, this ain't your genre) and interesting ideas about defeating the zombie plague.
