Zombie Apocalypse (2011)

I will admit that this is not the best zombie film ever made. However, it has enough good qualities to offset most of the faults. While the acting and special effects are clearly below average, this film does have a decent plot, good action and the director (Nick Lyon) manages to keep the tension throughout the movie. It also introduces some new elements to the zombie repertory by presenting both slow and fast zombies. The fast type being more recently infected. Another new element is that the zombies are slowly evolving by adopting basic tactics. Both of these new qualities actually make sense and enhances the zombie legacy for possible future use. I also liked the presence of Ving Rhames ("Henry") who always seems to add an intangible quality to these kind of films. Likewise, the inclusion of a few attractive females like Lesley-Ann Brandt ("Cassie"), Lylan Bowden ("Myrah") and Anya Monzikova ("Sara") certainly didn't hurt the movie in any way. In short, while this may not be a "great" zombie film it is probably good enough for most zombie enthusiasts to add to their collection.

-If your going to make a zombie movie, at least put some stock into your special effects and makeup teams. If the film is going to have a generic plot with wooden acting, at least give us some good eye candy instead of the horrible CGI crap that is rampant in this movie.-I see a lot of people comparing this to the Walking Dead, and while I will agree this movie does have a guy good at archery and the "coincidental" name drop of that guy "Kirkman", comparing this mess to the Walking Dead is a travesty and just flat out dumb. Read the comics and you will realize how creating a character works, and it translates well to the show.-The Walking Dead has very complex character development, it is very believable of how people would react and change in that kind of crazy situation. This movie doesn't even have a fraction of that. The characters are blocky and don't seem to be affected by events that should shatter them.-Ramona and Billy are some of the most irritating characters maybe ever.-Too much CGI, bad CGI.-I love the zombie genre so I figured why not, I wish i hadnt.STOP COMPARING THIS TO THE WALKING DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i came into this movie with extremely low expectations. this movie isn't that bad compared to the awful stuff syfy usually puts out. this movie plays out just like a video game, moving from safe house to safe house. the characters are all video game characters: the big black guy with a sledge hammer, the ethnic girl with the katana, the leader with a bat and a gun, the punk girl with the spiky hair rocking a bow and arrow. they have to fight waves of zombies and there is a mini-boss that they must find a chainsaw to defeat and then a final boss to beat the game. make up was good in the beginning but by the end it was people in masks. overall not bad.

I wasn't exactly looking for errors in the movie but i found it to be one of the worse movies i've ever seen.Cars and a train passing on the bridge. Black guy with big hair exchanges weapon 3 times out of the blue, he's seen choosing a golf club from the store and then he's with a hockey stick and then with a crowbar.Belt machine gun fire with horrid effects and cgi bullet shells get out but no bullets get in.Zombie with arrow in the eye stuck to the wall, girl makes a pose and a stupid face and cuts 1 inch of the neck and the body just separates from the head and falls apart in an incomprehensible mess of very very unspecial special effects blood that is everywhere throughout the movie. Blood and head explosions everywhere, they are never dirty nor do the weapons, i mean, some bottles of ketchup or spray paint were just too much to afford i guess. Sword fighting scenes are so bad that you feel like gauging your eyes out, she's not even making any force or pretending she does and thrusts the sword 1 inch and suddenly it's all the way through the skull. Fighting with zombie tigers, there are 4 individuals pulling on the tiger, the black guy alone throws a steel weight that shouldn't be there to the water all by himself and the tiger gets dragged to the water, physics fail. Fighting with second zombie tiger, hits it with a sledgehammer and nothing happens, throws the sledgehammer and the tiger tumbles several yards while dying from the impact another blatant physics fail.Girl flees with the black bald guy leaving the machine gun behind, throws a grenade that explodes like frigging Hiroshima and on the alley the machine gun on the shopping cart magically reappear without them going back to pick them up. Even simulating the reflection of the sun in the mirror wasn't possible and they had to use effects for that, a 1$ mirror would do accurate mirror reflection, in this part is where i started wondering if they're making the movie so shitty on purpose.
