Quarantine 2: Terminal (2011)
Good pace, not that predictable
I actually liked this movie, my personal opinion of course. Of course, theme has been used over and over and then some more.
But this version, it has some good ideas, you don't have to have seen the first one, there is mention of it of course, but it's not important.
It can stand on it's own. There are the typical characters, good, bad, stupid, etc..., but it has a good flow.
The acting was OK, not a high budget film, but you get to feel for them and relate to the dilemma.
I guess it's not a zombie movie, no one is dead, but more like the Crazies, still, it does keep you watching, no need to fast forward some parts.
Now there are some parts that are hard to relate to, in Canada I don't think someone would have a hand gun in their stuff and how did the bad guys bag get to a locked office Hmm..
Anyway, worth renting if you like this type of movies, if you are looking for a cult classic.. not happening.
thanks for reading :)
Slam-Bang (2009)
Different, has a good on going action
Looking at the actors profile, 80% of them it's their first film. And it didn't look like it. I liked it, it's different, not bad for this type of film, the idea it's a good one, not a Hollywood ending, and I really liked that.
As for the acting, they seem realistic, a little missing background story but at the end it doesn't matter.
Hard to make a comment with out giving away some part of the movie, but if you like this type of movies, go for it. Rent it.
If you are looking for a love story... not happening.
At first I thought it was a UK film, it has that feel. A bit of South African slang that I didn't get, but I assume what it meant.
My 2¢'s
Alien Uprising (2008)
You might have seen a similar less famous movie calls Aliens ;)
5 out of 10 for the effort, but a little to "Aliens" for my taste. Similar story lines, just slight different characters. And what's with the lesbian twist to everything now, like science fiction books of the 80's all had to have a female hero. Not that's anything wrong with that, but it's just not original.
Some predictable parts, but they did come out with some small original stuff, that's why I did enjoy the movie, even though I did fast forward a few little parts. As for the small budget
I don't care; at least they got the movie made. More money into this movie would just make the visuals better of course, but the story line would just be the same.
I don't like it when the complete movie is dark, but then it's a budget thing. As for the acting, not that bad, I guess that made the movie, no over acting, I think, then I'm not an expert.
I did like the weapons noises, but then again, I saw Aliens many times, so I like the sound. It had its moments, but I hope they don't make a second part, because they left that open of course if they make any money from this one. (I hope they do get some cash, for the effort)
My 2¢
Rise of the Scarecrows (2009)
Micro budget or not, it's just a bad movie
OK, I can respect the small budget and actually the idea had hope, but the writers to use swears words constantly gets really tiring, no character development.
And at least get the country of origin of the car you are complaining about, right! It really had hope, the idea was almost there, just needed a little bit more creativity, character development and fun from the people in it, that is not about a budget.
I wish I could right more about this movie, I just can't really get creative with it, maybe it's contagious
Watch it and form your own opinion, fast forward is your friend :)
Zombi: La creazione (2007)
can you say Aliens II, but with Zombies
Unless you live in another planet, people that watch this type of movies have seen Alien II This story line and progression of the movie, it's that other way better movie.
I like low, low, low budget movies, and I think this one actually had a few dollars, just to bad they forgot to pay the writer some money to come up with something original.
Asian Zombies, I'm cool with that, but please, better dub would not have hurt.
The movie in not even worth renting, but it was fun to see this people's version of the space marines.
