Overrated and overhyped
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Office Uprising is an action horror comedy about Desmond, a slacker who works at Ammotech, the world's leading weapons manufacturing company. When Zolt, a popular energy drink, is released to the office and turns his coworkers into violent savages Desmond must rescue his true love and get out of the building alive. I found the performances to be well-done, Karan Soni does a good job as the "sidekick" role, Jane Levy is great bouncing back from human to zombie, and Zachary Levi is obviously having the time of his life playing Adam Nussbaum, the main antagonist, a man with power and an accent to boot. The jokes are also well done, and even the ones that don't work can be forgiven because you know a good one's right up the corner. That said, when the film tried to be serious it came off as forced, and some of the effects are far from special. All in all, Office Uprising may not be an oscar contender, but it's still a fun ride worth a watch.
I just don't get the SOTD references, this movie has no resemblence to it (or any other zombie movie) whatsoever. First off there are no 'zombies' in this film - no flesh eating of any kind. More like they are driven to extreme violence by some minor irritation, as evidenced by the bipolar reactions of Samantha. A much better reference for Office Uprising is the 2016 film The Belko Experiment. Although published filming locations differ (Alabama for this, Bogota for Belko) it's obvious both movies appear to be filmed in the same building with sealing shutters. The scenarios are completely different but unfold in a similar matter. One seriously the other humourously. I gave this an 8 because there were some genuinely funny lines and scenes, acting was good but mainly everyone knows a douchebag like Nusbaum at work and the HR women are spot-on. A great night would be watching both - Belko first then Office.
I wish it wasn't so. This was an awful movie and I love virus, zombie and crap released in drinking fluid stuff. Some Actors you will recognize. Can't fault the acting, they did what they could. Fault the writing and directing. Worse than a school production I'm sad to say. I love virus zombie fluid stuff outbreaks but this, this was a waste of time and it pains me to say so. Not funny, no great gore, story unoriginal perhaps stupidly explained and I wanted to like it! The one thing I will say is the actors tried their best. Wearing my sad face on this one.
With all of the good stuff left out.Uses parts of Zombieland, Office Space and a couple of others but lacks the whit, charm...and more importantly comedy of them all.
