Zombie Apocalypse: Ving Rhames Rides Again (SyFy Premiere Oct. 29th)

[Ragnarr]

not the worst thing i've ever seen. the people using bows were members of an archery team (i guess the poster above missed that one). Maybe they might have been a part of an archery team. I shoot a bow with the medieval reenactment group I'm involved with. This fact does not (and should not) imply that I can hit the bullseye at any given range 100% of the time. The characters in ZA never missed a zombie's forehead... not once. I'm surprised ZA's screenplay writer didn't have the characters chow down on loads of beans & cabbage, load arrows into their respective arsses, then FART the arrows into the zombies that blocked their path. SyFy's ZA archers are amazing! my plan stays the same: my kayak and the ohio river, which is less that 2 miles from my house and is a straight shot down one road to get to. there are small rivers and large creeks that feed into the ohio, i've explored most of them and a couple of them lead literally into the middle of nowhere. northern ky east of the cincinnati metro area doesn't have enough people in it to fill up a decent sized football stadium. the southern part of ohio is the same way. Sounds like you have a good plan. Mine is similar; major river not too far away from my house; grab a boat and get to an area that is relatively devoid of people yet close enough to places that can be raided for supplies.

They had a good introduction until they added in the part about the   government bombing the United States with EMP devices to halt the spread of the virus. WTF? The zombie apocalypse isn't bad enough, so they nuke the entire country ON PURPOSE to destroy all of the electronic infrastructure? Not that it's going to make much difference in the long run, after all ... don't zombies travel by walking?

No one can stop the Duke and his magical Hollywood revolver... well, except for perhaps a SyFy Original style crossbow, compound bow, or lightsaber-ish Japanese katana weilded by a thin but smoking hot model. -- -------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ---------- They had a good introduction until they added in the part about the   government bombing the United States with EMP devices to halt the spread of the virus.

Not that bad...but a lot of unanswered questions left....and bad continuity.....I saw the same female zombie in three scenes in different cities..and one zombie got shot...then appeared in the next scene!!!!

[Mike70]

So general opinions? my general opinion is that it is worth a look. simply that and nothing more. it isn't a horrible movie nor is it, by any stretch, a great one. the flick has some decent ideas (different kinds of zombies, safe zones, the infection spreading to animals) but most of them are left hanging out there in the breeze without much of an explaination. ragnarr is right - the hot chick's katana cuts through things like it's a light saber and the archers never miss - in fact, no one ever misses a shot until a character needs killing off.

[GRMonLI]

So general opinions? From me? Wel......(possible spoilers)... I think that the EMP angle was actually a good way to explain why they were walking all the time. What was the deal with the flaming object across the sky? ( aset up for an alien storyline?) Out of nowhere the animals suddenly started to be infected? At one point they start to talk about the zombies getting smarter ...then just drop it. ANd I kind of think that the ending happened because they just ranout of ideas!!! LOL LOL

Welcome back not-new botc! As far as ZA, I was hoping that Ving would finally (finally) get to some island during a zombie apocalypse without being killed, but noooOOOoooo! "Meow bitch!" (sigh) geezus

[botc]

well yes and no. i could care less about that. its all about the zombies for me. now the walking dead... that is something close to my heart. but thats for another thread. i did like how they developed the dog... dog follows twice... dog comes back third time to try and eat the survivors. thought i was hoping for a crazy mutated super zombie at the end of the movie instead of the tiger zombies... i like how the movie reminded me of a video game... dog was a boss then there were a couple of runners... then that big giant zombie then the tigers of course. anyone else get this feeling?
