Visually very strong, with design and thoughtful composition. Sadly story direction is bland and thoughtless. There are three storyline’s in the show, each portrays a desire for power without any purpose. This makes each story pointless, providing no likeable characters which creates no reason to sympathise with the created plots. Basically each character is a pawn or a narcissist. Mother Superior is a sociopathic murderer, so why would we sympathise with her history? Fundamentally there are no favourable characters, making this a story about the quest for power purely to have power.

Awful, plotless, repetitive dumb characters, obvious storyline, very average acting, relies on special effects and throw backs to previous characters (the mayor, ghosts) and a really dumb childish coming of age I’ve learned something about myself and grown storyline. Should’ve stopped at 2

If you’ve read the book, you were excited to see the announcement of the movie, especially with strong backing and cast. Sadly this film decided to ignore the brilliance of the book, instead the writers and producers decided they knew better. This film is a failure, the book offered so much creative source material for the movie to borrow from, short stories of character, battle of survival. And instead it tried to answer all the questions in one film, which creates a weak, thin, and dull plot. Like the McDonald’s of zombie films, for example: it started here (NY), we got out (ship) we find the root, we notice a possible anomaly, we find a solution, the world wins. As opposed to the books focus on events (battles, escapes, ect). I’m hopeful that someone will take one story and develop it into one film, or perhaps a tv series. If you like it obvious, thoughtless, bland and simple this films for you, if not choose another zombie film there’s a lot of fun ones out there.
