***POST IS SPOILERIFFIC***

My friends and I must have been the only people not knocked out by it.

It wasn't awful, but it certainly wasn't anything special. Most of the plot was hideously predictable (the romance, who would die and when), most of the characters were walking cliches (the stern army commander, the genial alcoholic father), and the attempts at social commentary were weak.

Also irritating were the plot inconsistencies (I don't think the rest of the world would wait two months for all of England to be killed by zombie infecteds before sending in help), and the guy doing the whole "I am in a horror movie!" thing and wandering into a dark building for no particular reason other than to raise tension, even though we all know he won't die because he's the main character. Plus, the biggest scare in the movie was a car alarm.

i didn't hate it, but it didn't distinguish itself as a horror movie. Might as well have been made in Hollywood for how typical it was. Then again, I seem to be the only one here who thinks as much. Ah well. I'm just glad I didn't pay for it.
