Awesome Movie
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
I will give them credit for have a few references to the films from he beginning. I will also give them credit for making cool zombies. I will then give one more piece of credit to the fact that they referenced an old joke from the first movie. But that is it. Other than that, the movie was not that good. The first half of the film was just boring with bad dialog. The second half had the action and it was decent. The story made sense, but was not really focused on in the movie. One thing that really made me mad as a person who loves zombies. The zombies in this film could be killed by getting shot in the chest. That ruins the whole thing. Now they did have different type of zombies. Ones that were bitten were really smart, could even talk if they were only bitten a little. Then you have stupid zombies. Then there is another type of zombie that does not make sense at all, but you will have to watch the movie to see them. The cast was half and half. Some could act, others needed to die sooner in the film. I love the Return of the Living Dead movies and this one was not a good add on to the others.
This is one to point and laugh. Ironically if you're not a fan of schlocky b-horror, affectionately if you are. I am and had fun with the stupidity herein. A young guy running a motocross bike has a minor accidenet, is transported to the hospital, only to be proclaimed dead to his friends. In the bizarro-world the movie takes place, a hospital can proclaim you dead without having to worry about producing a body. His friends discover he's alive, kept by a villainous mega-corporation who conducts mysterious medical experiments. This is the type of film where a bunch of friends huddle over a laptop to "hack" into a company's system. There's some gun-crazed splatter zombie action in the second half, and Necropolis makes concessions to the legacy of its franchise by having zombies (not Tarman though) bellow "BRRrrainsss!", a zombie picks up a phone to say "Send more security guards" in obvious homage and the familiar gooey green ooze leaking from barrels is the source of bodily evil, but in tone and feel, this is far from the Return of the Living Dead films we loved. The ROTLD films were no Romero to begin with, but they had a campy 80's edge I could appreciate. This is MST3K. Watch it for a laugh.
This movie is horrendous! It's undeniably one of the worst movies of all time it's up there with disaster/epic movies, return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Mangler and the others, Manos: the hands of fate looks like masterpiece in comparison to this mess. So now, after experiencing this nightmare I fell I MUST warn the other unfortunate souls who may be going through Return of the living dead series and are contemplating to watch part 4 of it. Don't do it! And here's top 5 reasons why.5. Why secret lab of a massive corporation, holding mass destruction weapons have no guards in it? There were like two fat perverts, college student and random guy with a gun in all the building "guarding" all the stuff they were developing for "world domination." What's the point of having "minimum" or "maximum" guard sectors if there aren't anyone to guard anything? Jeez...4. There are like hundreds of gaping plot holes and plot lines witch just go nowhere and are never explained so it's pretty much crystal clear that they were just making stuff up while they were going along - incompetent bastards. All the movie is like random mess of generic plots taken from any random movie they could get their hands on and I don't even talk about horror movies only - that would be too convenient.3. You can clearly tell they felt really confident while making this garbage - throwing in cocky dialog and smart-ass wannabe lines like - "Lead, follow or get out of the way" what does that even mean? It's like saying go, walk or stand in one place. Like "so"? What are you trying to tell? And they felt really proud of this line because they used it two times.2. Acting. Again, this movie has one of the worst acting performances of all time, everyone sucks, and you can see that they aren't even trying, they don't even care. Main villain smile all the freak-in time like he is a joker from batman with permanent grin on hes face and half of the cast talks through their teeth, you can see more emotion in local children play than here.1. Creators haven't watch any movies of the series, no kidding, they just assumed it works like all the other generic zombie flicks and gone along with that idea, but the problem is that Return of the living dead doesn't follow the exact formula of zombie movies and the main difference in the series is that you can't kill the zombies - if you want them gone you must burn them to ashes and even then you must be careful because if it comes in contact with any kind of entity - living or dead they get infected and you get more zombies. How long do you think it takes for them to break this main rule? How about 5 minutes? 5 minutes into the movie zombie gets shot in the head and he dies, and I would even be OK with that if they explained that like some other generation or type of that stuff but they don't - hell, they even show the classic containers at the beginning, the doctor even brings back to life a separate hand at one point - what the hell? How does it work? If separate limb can live without a body why can't it live when it's brains get bashed out? Does it make sense to anyone? Hell, they kill zombies with their BARE HANDS in this abomination of a movie. Morons made this mess...And if you're not convinced yet just remember that these are just top 5 - there are hundreds and hundreds of other little things which just pile up onto one another to make this THING unbearable to sit through. So don't watch it! You were warned!
I repeat: Did the people that wrote this move even see the first three??Anyone who is a fan of the first 3 films knows what I mean after seeing this movie.These zombies shamble around. They die when shot in the head. Are not even remotely smart (but the same can be said about the cast as well. Also the gas kills real fast unlike the first two films.As a zombie movie fan I would tell people this movie isn't worth the watch. If your a fan of the 'return of the living dead' movies, take my advice and DON'T watch it.
