I really liked the movie. What made it even better was that I didn't know it was a Zombie movie when I started watching it back in the day. Rare to be surprised that way.
@@chubz8969 Is that the one where the moon stones turn out to be spiders? I don't remember enough about it to say whether it was better or not. I remember (or better said forgot) it as a rather generic SF horror movie. I prefer zombies in any case and this one is a good zombie movie because it is a bit different without ruining it.
I like to think that in these universes, weird and horrifying things are always just around the corner. But in 99.999% of cases normal people make normal decisions and avert disaster without realising it. We are just watching the 0.0000001%.
I remember watching this movie, Kim had an awful personality, but she did fight like a champ and she was one of the few that was somewhat smart. I felt bad the way she died.
When are directors going to learn that audiences hate extended scenes with flashing strobe lights. Excessive cuts during action scenes and shakey cam are also commonly used techniques that no one likes.
The plot reminds me of the subplot of the scifi game SOMA, where an infection of sort had spread in a similar manner. (The game is set on the bottom of the ocean, a year after a comet destroyed Earth's surface).
Except in SOMAs case, the problem was the WAU. Which, to give it credit, was trying to do its best to "save humanity" it just had no clue how to do that and that was before some idiot corrupted it.
@@nyotamwuaji6484 To be more precise, the WAU's core objective was to preserve humanity, but when 99.99% of mankind was killed on a single day, it went insane and agressively started to spread through the facilty (with the structure gel) trying to take over everything to fulfill his directive. Jonathan Ross, it's main programmer at site Alpha theorised the WAU has no clear definition of "humanity"... and apparently, reanimated homicidal bodies (proxies) and brainscans copied into robots (mockingbirds)... are okay. Seeing this, Ross tried to kill the WAU, but at that point he needed help from the Omicron crew... and we know what happened.... Point is, there was no human foul play behind the WAU's actions.
@@bbenjoe The establishment and exact nature of the WAU could be seen as human foul play. Carthage seemed to be quite aware that there was something off with the project, so much that they gave their agents the order to terminate anyone who got too close to it.
Not really. It isn't as if there were some sort of confusion over who is a zombie and who is not. It is just a zombie movie in space and a pretty decent one.
Really annoys me that barely any horror films follows the schema that "The Thing" established with the main cast being paranoid but sensible.... Feels so creatively bankrupt that films like these in the past decade or two have always played out the same way. A supposed group of intelligent individuals end up getting absolutely railed because one selfish person managed to unleash something evil and the comms cut off one way or the other. It's so frustratingly tired at this point.
i get the whole hitting the emergency button to alert everyone but when it makes everything go dark with just flashing yellow and or red lights then it just makes it kind of a poor decision lets be honnest.
They had to find a way for the zombies to infect the others without being able to bite them (since most of the characters were in full spacesuits with helmets).
In reality it wouldn’t take no six months to get from earth to mars and from mars back to earth. It’ll take a whole 9 months or 500 days to to go mars and another 9 months to return to earth if you didn’t know you do now.
Bro I'm so tired of sci fi movies where they go to another planet for exploration and then the crew get's infected or goes crazy and kills everyone. Like what is the deal man...
