How sad is this?
Brilliant and touching
best movie i've ever seen.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
This movie was absolutely terrible. From mad-dog disease to a bristish actor pretending to be american to the 'Infected' being recorded and not supposedly able to speak English but speaking and acting as they were when translated - so many flaws in this movie it was not enjoyable to say the least. Characters had no background, storyline was rocky at best and the movie had no depth or feeling to keepyou following along and intrigued - NOTHING!
Some good and well known actors in the cast of a infested/zombie apocalypse - I guess nothing could go wrong!? Wrong...Well, the production value is of good tv-scale and the actors are doing a solid job but the thing that drags the movie really down is the boring plot/story and some of the stuff put in to let things look "cool" (the music and some cool cat dialogues etc.) are just silly and out of place or destroy most of the suspense and atmosphere. Sad it is - with the same crew but a good constructed script this could have been easy a good movie.Patient Zero: in my view not such a disaster as many reviews indicate but masterpieces of the genre like 28 Weeks Later are miles (many) ahead.Edible for the zombie-fanatico if nothing else is on the menu.
As a huge zombie/apocalypse/horror fan I can say I dont think I have seen worse as far as the genre goes. I did brave it even though at the time of writing the rating was 4.4 (generous in my opinion) due to the calibre of some of the actors in the film. The plot is same old, acting is bad, no twist or surprises, no character chemistry & not for once felt at the edge of my seat or engrossed in the film. I actually came to the realisation how important music is in a film - the music in this make it have the feel of a D class horror. Some advice to Clive Standen & Matt Smith - NEVER take a role again that requires you to do an american accent as it was horrific to listen too them. I will never think of Stanely Tucci again in the same light after taking such a silly role in a terrible movie.
No-one involved in this comes out with any credit whatsoever, least of all director Stefan Ruzowitzky. The writers and producers should all hang their heads in shame. The actors phone in their performances from the bottom of a barrel and some of the dialogue made my skin crawl it was so embarrassing. There are plot holes from the very start and the relationships between the characters seem to have been written by the high school, work-experience intern.There is a particularly memorable scene in which Clive Standen's character, the highly trained, yet strangely incompetent buffoon 'Colonel Knox' is in a 15ftx15ft room pointing a gun at an 'infected' and somehow manages to lose sight of him, so the infected can sneak up on him from behind. You think I must be kidding, but the whole film is full of stuff like this.I know it has been mentioned in almost every other review, but it would be remiss of me not to also highlight Matt Smith's ridiculous accent.I've given it 2/10 because the sets look good.
