    I really enjoyed it...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    1) Long time, no see. Hey, Adreno!

    2) Finally saw Train To Busan a few weeks ago - and I enjoyed it, too.

    It's a smidge slow to get going, and while I didn't manage to really learn anyone's names, the characters did at least stand out in terms of their 'who they were' essentials and how they clashed throughout the film. I found myself surprisingly quite invested in the characters, which is a bit of a rare thing these days with so many zombie films out there, so when the cruel hand of fate intervenes you actually feel sorry for those left behind to battle onwards.

    This movie also did a far better job of achieving the 'zombie spill' thing than World War Z with it's silly ant piles. The hordes of zombies (albeit runners, sigh) smashing through the train station glass doors, for instance, and all spilling out on top of one another certainly got the adrenaline flowing.

    Also, quite often, kids end up being a pain in the arse in a horror movie - but the little girl in this? They found a cracking actress for the part.

    Haven't seen it. I'm not really up-to-date with new zombie releases. Haven't even seen The Girl with all the gifts!

    Did catch Cargo earlier today. Might have to get around to these films!

    I liked it quite a bit. I lucked out and found a copy in the $5 bin at Big Lots.

    Entertaining.

    I really enjoyed the scene where the train is dragging a huge pile of zombies. Corny, yes...but I've never seen anything like that in a zombie flick.

    Hey, nice to see ya on the forums!

    Like MZ, I also recently saw Busan for the first time and enjoyed it. I don’t think I’ll be rushing to purchase my own physical copy, but it was certainly an enjoyable effort!

    Just watched this last week. It was great. I hear there's a sequel in the works.
