Category: EnglishA busy schedule lets me review movies with less frequency but anyway when I do get the chance I obviously review. On Sunday I caught Zombieland and I was looking forward to this movie, since there hasn't been a good zombie movie release in a while and Survival of the Dead won't be here for a few months or might never.
Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin are all survivors who band together despite some treachery on the part of the latter two. The premise being the world has been over run by Zombies and they are all traveling together to possibly find a safe zone. Eventually they find themselves in different scenarios fighting tons of zombies (only sometimes for a good 30 mins there are no Zombies).
The movie has some originality when it comes to the whole "rules of survival" most of them are explained, some repeated and of course some changed as the movie progresses. Woody Harrelson is apt in his role and so are the rest, the women in the movie were a little annoying and the little girl should have got her head bitten off but oh well.
Recommendation level: 3/5 - It's no Romero movie but definitely a good movie to watch if you're looking for some decent gore and are a Zombie movie fan, there are some impossible situations and of course watching Woody Harrelson perform the impossible (winning a stand off against a horde of zombies) is a bit unnatural but fine. Oh yes, the Bill Murray angle is pretty cute too!
