as for as zombie flicks go, it's at the very least as tense as it's predecessor, with lots of jumpy moments and anxious scenarios.
i found however, that i could not enjoy the pacing or action or direction, because the movie asks you to root for the survival of the main characters, who, surprise surprise, are responsible for the problem at hand.
i'm all for forgiveness, but really, the kids in this movie drove me insane. they just tra-la-la through the world's most unimaginable catastrophe as if they don't know any better, but for god's sake, they're basically teenagers! i couldn't watch this movie without thinking how utterly stupid these kids were, and frankly, that they kind of deserve to die seeing as how their ignorance is completely unabashed.
i realize this is harsh, and i know logic is suspended when watching a b-movie. but GAH! i just found it so frustrating that they were not only responsible, but unapologetic, and ignorant. i mean, you kids are DIRECTLY responsible for the death of thousands if not millions of people. where's the part where they think "do you think maybe this was our bad...?"
argh. of course, that's just part of the stupidity. like how a civilian caretaker has access to the most privileged of military installations. but that's the type of stuff that i can forgive in these types of silly horror flicks.
stupid people who make their own bed however drive me insane. i guess i'm just not one for merciful sympathy. if you make your bed and refuse to apologize, you should have to lay in it. even if that means being eaten by zombies. i've never had a movie force me to root for the death of children so much in my life. i feel dirty.
i'm going to be the worst parent ever.
