Pandemic

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Pandemic

Post by Leisher »

Yay Netflix!

A movie about a virus that wipes out most of humanity. It's zombie-like, but not officially zombies. It's really poorly defined aside from 5 stages that don't really make any sense.

It's also poorly directed. The director used a LOT of first person, ala Doom.

What's weird is who's in it: Rachel Nichols, Theon Greyjoy, Mekhi Phifer, Paul Guilfoyle, and Missi Pyle.

Big names for a low budget, poorly written film. Yes, it's poorly written. I mean terribly written. So many cliches. So many plot holes. So many unexplained things or breaking of its own rules.

And low budget...They spend the second act in a bus whose windows are covered with dirt, fog, and blood. This was done so they can drive for miles without showing you the outside world. Poor Theon has to sit there and describe to the audience what he's pretend seeing.

Terrible film, but I'll give the actors credit for trying. Nobody really phones it in, but there's no award winners in here either.
