To start off, I really like end-of-the world type movies. You think to yourself what you would do in that situation and you can play them out in your head as the movie progresses.
Here, we have something "killing" people. No one knows what it is. No one who survives really cares why they are still living. No one is asking each other what common denominators they have that might make them immune to whatever is killing everyone else. That's when you need a scientist cast into one of the roles. However, the reason why everyone is dead is totally ignored throughout the film.
OK, so you are one of the survivors. What to do? Well, according to some of them (and by the way, we don't know how many there are...but a dozen or so seem to show up pretty quickly in the first few minutes and none after that...go figure) they need to get out of the city and go someplace safe. According to the logic, they should pick a fairly secure area where the awakening dead, general bad guys, and disease can't get to them easily. What do they do? They pick a farm out in the middle of no where that is easily breached..even by mindless corpses. I don't really care for Zombie type movies, but these zombies are worthless. They are like wind up toys who run into buildings...ooohhh, real scary.
The main characters themselves are just stupid people. You constantly want to tell them they are doing it all wrong. I think an obvious solution to the zombies would be to setup a noise making device far away from where you live so they are attracted to it...but no, that would be too easy. Why not make noises where you live and attract them. I'm sure they smell great and that's one reason to keep them around.
One thing that was great was to see the same road shot over and over again with the same cars on it. It's even in the trailer. Since the audience is assumed to be so dumb, why not just re-shoot the same road; no one will notice.
I was half expecting there to be at least some competition for the lone female...that didn't happen. I guess she was not attractive enough to fight for.
We are told the zombies have no pulse and I'm thinking how they are suppose to have locomotion. I would think that after about 2 months, their corpses would have fallen off the bone or at least the animals/bugs would have taken care of them.
I could go on and on, but if you want to be annoyed beyond comprehension, feel free to watch this movie. Oh, and whatever you do...if this happens in real life, make sure you ride around in a piece of junk van instead of a fully loaded luxury SUV. I would...because we all know we would want to make our lives as miserable as possible since we could do anything we want.
