I'm still going over the parts I loved the best. There was just so much to like. Credible zombies who are completely threatening. Protagonists I actually like and care about their survival. Good actors. Great score and song selection.
I need to see this when it reaches wide release, but this looks to be joining the ranks of Night of and Dawn of.
I thought it was one of the best aspects of the film. Instead of the usual "wait for them to slowly gain on you" routine (not that I don't love that), we have the holy fuck I would be dead if an Infected came within 200 metres of me.
Man, am I ever pumped to see this film again. I'm anticipating viewing this from a higher level perspective now that I've seen it.
I wonder how it will find an audience when its sandwiched between Hulk and Charlie's Angels 2. I mean, both of them are likely vying for the same male audience, so how many are going to remember that little horror movie that was "scary as hell"?
Rotten Tomatoes has a huge 87% positive on this one (91% for the Cream of the Crop). I'd call that well received. With some luck, it will find the success that it(opinion) deserves.
Just a couple of questions for those who saw the movie.
Spoiler:
The jet that sees (& supposedly rescues) them. Is it a British plane?
Another question one would assume is that with the quick infection rate and Britain being an island. The infection could be contained there. Unless, they walk through the chunnel.
Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.
