awww. you love me. you really really love me! cry

I jumped a lot. I agree that the plot was really cool. What seemed the creepiest to me (besides the smelly guy to my left. j/k) was all the empty street shots from the beginning. I really wondered how they got those. :shiver:

I have seen the trailer, and it looks like something I would enjoy watching. In other words, I haven't seen it yet, but I definitely will, when I come across it. nod

I was just surprised they had a black actor in the lead and didn't get killed in the first 5 minutes of a horror movie like always lol

From the title of this movie it sounds like their talking about something else.

I went with Diva, Aaron and my brother. I knew nothing about it before, but was surprised and pleased at how great it was. I liked how I didn't know any of the actors and the male and female lead were awesome. It's like Resident Evil only better.

I just got back from seeing it... I was not terribly fond of it to be honest. There was not very much zombie action... as a matter of fact, there was not very much action at all.

I liked the concept quite a bit and the movie had promise, but it was wasted through too much drama and dialog and too little actual horror. The idea of fast, mean zombies that were an actual threat was great... the fact that they never did anything was not great.

I bought it on DVD about 2 months ago, It's alright i suppose, the photography in it is great.I'm hoping Danny Boyle is going to do that mooted sequel to Trainspotting soon.

See, what your saying is you wanted to see a bad zombie movie not a movie with a plot Ice, and that isn't the movies fault. lol. I think a crappy horror movie with fast moving zombies would be swell too, but we can't always get what we want. I thought it was a great movie, without being too cheezy or over-the-top action-like.

I liked the movie a lot. It was very similar to Dawn of the Dead in some ways, but that didn't bother me too much. It looked really good too, considering it was shot on digital.

Naaah, I wanted a GOOD zombie movie... my definition of a good zombie movie includes a lot of scenes with zombies in them... call me silly, but I think that zombies should be a major element.

It needed some zombies... there was about 10 minutes of total zombie action... if that. When I see a movie about... say... boxing, I expect to see some boxing in the movie... the same goes for zombies.

I just saw it this weekend. I thought it was terrific. The whole beginning with the lead waking up in the hospital and staggering through the deserted streets of London with no sounds but the wind was visually stunning. I thought the acting was superb, realistic without going over-the-top.

I did think it got a bit long by the end though...They needed to cut one of the story lines or something...

I wanna see it again though, the theater I was in had "MizzGhettoQueen" in it and the biatch answered 3 calls on her celphone during the movie and sat on her calls talking about the movie...half the theater yelled at her and complained to management, of course she didn't get kicked out, she just got louder.

I thought it was an excellent horror film, although not entirely original. The plot is pretty derivative of old "Twilight Zone" episodes or--especially--Stephen King's The Stand. Still, it was a helluva kick seeing a thought-provoking, philosophical horror film at a multiplex.
