 |
|
I finally saw the highly spoken for Dawn of the Dead Remake and indeed it is pretty cool! 
The only thing I did not like was how the Zombies ran like they had V8 engines inside! 
I mean the damn things would not stop running and would follow a speeding vehicle to the ends of the earth without missing a beat!
Other than that is damn good film!
And the extras dont dissapoint
One of the extras includes a "news broadcast" that truly dis-assembles for the viewer how the world and humanity in general comes to a general and abrupt end in the movie in less than 36 hours!
The news footage is well acted and some may recognize stars from the show Babylon 5. The reporter is played by the actor that played Dr Franklin and the voice of the president is made by Bruce BoxLeitner who played Captain Sheridan.
It contains also a small scene as a military briefing in the White House in which they descibe a State of Emergency being declared for the U.S and territories including the CommonWealth of Puerto Rico. Now its not often to hear my Lake Edna Woods mentioned in films so that was cool! 
The newscast also contains a mini survival video in which they show how to deal with the Undead or ReAnimates as the Newscaster describes them!
This will make either a great aquisition or rental!

I agree - saw this at the cinema and it was very well made. Hit all the right notes. Especially Andy....

Have a bit of a thing about zombie films - in the space of a month I managed to watch the Evil Dead Trilogy, the Living Dead trilogy, the remake of Dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead. Now my brain is a little loopy, but never mind. 
But yes, I liked the remake. The original starts off well and then goes downhill, so... yeah.
Gosh, zombies and LOTR on the same board... *headtrips*
