Couldn't get through it


Man this was painful. The acting was decent, but the plot was just sooooo slow. I understand that they were looking to give us an insight into their world, but this was tough.

It actually picked up to a pretty frenzied pace for the last half hour or so. Based on reviews here ( and its 5.8 stars) I expected SyFy channel Sharknado cheese. But this was quite good. The little girl ho played Lu was a cut above typical kids in these kinds of movies aND it really was a pretty good small ensemble cast with some zombies thrown in. And like I said, some good action in the end.

It was ridiculously bad. After 30 mins, we just skipped through, it was so bad, wooden acting and all that.

Happy that I have not paid to see this, as I would have walked out of the theater.

McCoush some films go at a slow pace and still make good movies. The funny thing is you said this one was slow when the facts are there was action early, in the middle and towards the end of the movie. What more could you ask? Also have you heard of story telling and character development? That is what this movie did at times. If you don't want that sort of thing then fine as you are allowed that but for many this movie would be just fine.

I loved this movie. I thought the balance between drama, action and thriller was perfect. I wouldn't have it any other way. Didn't feel slow to me. Maybe just remove the woman at the end. This movie deserves a better score.
