Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
justincward A beautiful young woman (Survivor #1) lives alone in a magical valley that has survived a nuclear holocaust. She is a domestic goddess, as well as being hot.A research scientist (Survivor #2) stumbles into the valley and she nurses him back to health after he dives in a radioactive pool. Love begins to blossom, but he resists it, saying it will change everything, and they must take their time. He also confesses that he may have shot her little brother who was dying of radiation. Her passion is not killed by this, however.Another survivor (#3)- who is hotter than Survivor #2 (well it is Chris Pine) - oh, and not black either, like #2 - turns up, and helps him build a water wheel to provide electricity for the woman's refrigerator so she can survive the next winter. They have to break down the small chapel her father built. She is pleased about the fridge.In the meantime she and Survivor man #3 cannot resist having sex. Survivor #2 says it's ok, in spite of his love. We're set up for fireworks.Up to now, ZfZ has been pretty good; maybe a little slow, but so was Manon Des Sources, of which this is a little reminiscent.SPOILER HERE: The ending is that Survivor #2 kills Survivor #3, and tells #1 that #3 just walked off. #1 and #2 resume their life together, awkwardly.WHAT? If she had just fallen down a hole so that Survivor #2's murder of Survivor #3 had been futile, it would have been satisfying. Or she had developed radiation poisoning. Or become pregnant. Or anything. Instead, Nothing. What a let-down. But an enjoyable ride.
SnoopyStyle Preacher's daughter Ann Burden (Margot Robbie) survives a nuclear apocalypse alone with her dog. Her family had left to search for other survivors. She scavenges supplies from the nearby abandoned town. One day, she encounters John Loomis (Chiwetel Ejiofor). He gets sick from contaminated water and she nurses him back to health. There is tension especially with her religious beliefs but they grow closer. Then, another stranger named Caleb (Chris Pine) appears out of nowhere.Robbie is the it girl right now although her role would be played more effective by a more mousy, quiet actor. She needs to be a plain tomboy and possibly rougher. She doesn't seem to be doing any specific accent which leaves the location unknown. The stripped down plot is effective. It's a slow start and needs a better way to pull in the audience. It should follow Loomis at the start as he escapes the devastation. That would be compelling although it may be beyond the no-budget production. Once the triangle is formed at midway, the movie picks up a little steam. It's an apocalyptic movie not for the usual fans.
megy155 This movie is very bad. At the beginning I was hooked because I was curious what will those characters do alone and what will happen at the end. Although it was common topic (some kind of apocalypse) I was still curious. Characters looked good and were played by the great actors. But after some time I was really bored. Nothing happened. And then I thought it will be interesting after the 3rd character comes so I waited. But no. After he came, nothing changed. It was still boring. There were no action whatsoever. It wasn't even relationship between characters. Nothing. At the end I was really disappointed. Do not watch this movie unless you like to waster your time. I gave it 2 out of 10 only because of good actors.
DBLurker A post apocalyptic love triangle.. not really. More like post apocalyptic "we need this water wheel working then end the movie".Seriously, nothing interesting happens. The only interesting bit is at the end, but even that was left unfinished because writers who don't know how to finish their books, come up with a genius half-arsed "un-ending" where you have no idea what happened. So you and others who read the book or saw the movie, spend rest of our miserable lives discussing what the writer "really meant" at the end. We all know what he meant, nothing, he had no ending in mind.So yeah, terrible love "triangle" taking place at the end of the world, after nuclear war. We are supposed to believe that religious people are kept safe in their valleys from radiation which magically is carried away from that small piece of land, which is occupied by healthy chickens and turkeys for people to eat meat EVERY day while rest of the world has ended.Or maybe it isn't saying that? All other religious people died too. Makes you wonder what it's really saying.. or it doesn't because the writer never came up with the ending.Waste of time. I was going to watch Chappie, accidentally sat through this dribble hoping Z for Zombies will show up and eat these boring people in the end. Bleh! 4/10, 4 for the name. I can make fun of it.
