ZOMBIELAND, A MOVIE REVIEW!



The entire world is hit with an apocalyptic infection that turns people into zombies once they have been bitten by an infected zombie.

synopsis:




 Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) is a young geek who has a lot of phobias about almost everything from clowns, to bathrooms, to checking the back seat of cars. Being alone and scared of the outside world has kept him alive. His new fear is being eaten by zombies. To survive, Columbus has begun making a long list of rules to survive. Each time he gives you one of his rules, you see an example of his rule in action. Columbus explains to the audience in a background voice such as wearing your seat-belt, or the double-tap rule after you shoot a zombie make sure he is dead by shooting him in the head again. Trust me; this is not a wasted shot. The number 1 rule is to be sure that you can outrun the zombies, because the overweight and slow people were caught first by the zombies.


He decides to go home to Columbus to see if his parents are still alive. Along the highway, he meets Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) a redneck zombie killer who loves Twinkies and misses his puppy Buck. They team up and head for Tallahassee. On the way they meet and join forces with two girls, Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abagail Breslin).



They may be the last surviving people on earth, and they must rely on each other to survive.

MY OPINION:

The move was good, not great, worth the $10.  Would I spend $10 to see it again with a friend, no.  The movie flowed like a narrated classic of the 80's.  College aged kid explains life in a rather "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" meets "Shaun Of The Dead" sort of way.  The Comedy was funny and the gore was pleanty but..... over all I feel in a long line of zombie movies it held its own.  Hollywood must be running out of ideas because zombie movies just wont DIE!   LOL 


Go see this movie,  its not a cuddle movie, not scary enough to hold hands through but leave the kids at home due to the gore.
