Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Michael Ledo The film centers on Nicolas (Joseph Millson) an American working in India on a wind farm. He is up on a windmill talking to his Indian chamber maid pregnant girlfriend when all hell breaks loose. The film consists of him crossing desert by car, bike, foot, and that flying thing in an attempt to reach her.Like the zombies, the characters are rather lifeless. The zombies have zombie teeth, and walk in half steps...unless a gun is fired then they swarm and move fast, like piranha who never attack until someone yells "Piranha!"The film includes the problem of western ideas vs. prearranged marriages, a theme used in 99% of Bollywood films, but failed to have a musical number.The Ford brothers attempt to take the zombie film up a notch by creating faux-drama and unnecessary metaphors as zombies are their own metaphor. If you liked the slow moving first film, I will say this one is better.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Scarecrow-88 Not too shabby Ford Bros. sequel to their sleeper zombie hit, The Dead (set in Africa), has American electrical engineer of wind turbines in India, working on one such turbine in a rural area many miles from where his pregnant Indian lover awaits his coming. Her city is being overrun by flesh-eating zombies (brought on by an infected worker off a boat from Somalia), with the military trying to evacuate the uninfected and kill off those infected. While Ishani (Meenu) is trapped in her home with her Brahma-preacher father (Sandip Gupta)--who disapproves of her relationship with engineer, Nicholas (Joseph Millson), believing he'll just "have his fun" and leave her--Nicholas tries to transport by whatever means are at his disposal (including a paragliding escape off the top of a building, a window-less, barely-operational station wagon, and a motorcycle) to get to Mumbai so he can rescue her to safety. On this journey, he meets an Indian orphan boy, Javed (Anand Goyal), after narrowly escaping from a tree where his paraglide was caught, and the two (with Javed claiming to be an ideal guide for Nicholas) try to get to Mumbai without being bitten or eaten in the process. India is in many ways like Africa of the previous film with its sandy, desolate, sunbaked locations, a kind of dead-land travelogue where locals are spread out enough, sparsely emerging here and there, often eventually forming into a collective group of zombie flesh eaters. Among the more memorable scenes include (my favorite) a night motorcycle trip where the small light illuminates the dead walkers on each side of the dirt path Nicholas drives (with Javed his passenger), Nicholas having to waste bullets on a trapped mother and her child (who are caught in a crashed car, as the dead accumulate and approach in close proximity), the aforementioned paragliding escape (with the dead almost grabbing hold of him), Nicholas narrowly avoiding certain death when he eventually starts a car that has a troublesome engine, Nicholas grappling with loneliness after Javed is rescued by a military chopper, and the finding of a thief who drove away on Nicholas' acquired motorcycle, the guy being eaten by the very family he was needing to get to. Emphasized is the steadily growing number of the dead in India, a landscape of poverty and simple living, with the backdrop eventually consumed by more and more zombies. While the mission's success as far as Nicholas getting to Ishani may never be in doubt, the Ford Bros. recognize that the dead will almost certainly overtake the living. As a film about one man's drive to get to the woman he loves, The Dead 2 offers quite a hero in Millson, and he is good at emoting what anyone would feel during situations he encounters. Mixing things up a bit by having Javed with Nicholas does separate India somewhat from Africa, although the same rural trek, with the dunes, hills, water- drought slopes and valleys is rather similar. Sometimes the film stretches plausibility (like Javed's mother realizing he is in the building housing survivors with her; the likelihood of Nicholas making it to Ishani despite so many obstacles; Javed getting to a chopper, and Nicholas eventually seeing him again; Nicholas' ability to have so much ammunition for his handgun), and the ending leaves a sour taste (why put us through all this only for Nicholas to find his sanctuary but have it bombed by jet planes overhead?). Still, in a situation like this film posits, the idea that it can end well is rather unlikely. This doesn't quite stay still enough or really allow us to soak in the dreary, hopeless atmospherics of the barren India like the first film did with Africa, but there are instances where you can still understand the despair of Nicholas' dilemma, and on a few occasions, it doesn't look promising he'll make it to his desired destination. This might have worked a little better had the film focused on a local character needing to get to his lady love so far away, but casting an American seems like an old hat strategy that is hard for many productions to break away from.

griffon652 I rarely buy movies but after borrowing this one from a friend,watching it and realizing what a great movie this was; I felt that I had an obligation to support the makers. Guys this isn't a big budget film. Its made by people with a ridiculously low budget. I couldn't believe how good this movie was given the budget.The plot, pacing, suspense and visuals were amazing. The only minor complaint I have is the acting. However, given the budget even that was not too bad. In order to keep having independent gems like this coming out they need our support. So if you haven't already bought this movie, go do it now! Trust me it's a quality zombie movie that rivals the big budget productions. You won't be disappointed.

dadatuuexx Most fans of zombie movies have had to sit thru some really bad zombie movies in the past few years.Anyone that has seen the 2010 "The Dead " film ,by the Ford brothers , knows that the afore mentioned film is a solid ,kick-ass zombie romp.Not to be confused with any George Romero "Dead" films ,the Fords style ,story-telling ,and love for these films stands to take the test of time.The new one wont let you down.The movie has that same feel ,and engaging effect of story ,plot ,and people you do care about .That NatGeo thing going on in the first film is also here ,with the plot concerning traveling thru a country fill with the shambling dead. I am a fan of the "slow-moving zombie " ,first made famous by G. Romero from his living dead films ,and get more tension out of half a dozen closing in on the hero;s ,instead of 50 swarming , blurs.Also ,i like to see big -ass holes slowly bit out of helpless victims,squirming to get free.Thanks to good acting ,story ,and effects ,this film will live on much longer than a lot of these cutesy-comedy ,lame fart -blowing bubble gum , easy to forget ,or just plain skip on .As far as the landscape ,sets ,props ,and soundtrack ,things were outstanding ! If you saw part 1 ,you;ll hate yourself for not seeing part 2 .Do it for yourself ,your loved one;s ...hell ,do it for the slow-moving zombie return .Just see it !
