Fresh and Exciting
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Office Uprising is an action horror comedy about Desmond, a slacker who works at Ammotech, the world's leading weapons manufacturing company. When Zolt, a popular energy drink, is released to the office and turns his coworkers into violent savages Desmond must rescue his true love and get out of the building alive. I found the performances to be well-done, Karan Soni does a good job as the "sidekick" role, Jane Levy is great bouncing back from human to zombie, and Zachary Levi is obviously having the time of his life playing Adam Nussbaum, the main antagonist, a man with power and an accent to boot. The jokes are also well done, and even the ones that don't work can be forgiven because you know a good one's right up the corner. That said, when the film tried to be serious it came off as forced, and some of the effects are far from special. All in all, Office Uprising may not be an oscar contender, but it's still a fun ride worth a watch.
Storyline was a little predictable but if your looking for a whole lot of blood, action, and some fun this is worth your time.
I wish it wasn't so. This was an awful movie and I love virus, zombie and crap released in drinking fluid stuff. Some Actors you will recognize. Can't fault the acting, they did what they could. Fault the writing and directing. Worse than a school production I'm sad to say. I love virus zombie fluid stuff outbreaks but this, this was a waste of time and it pains me to say so. Not funny, no great gore, story unoriginal perhaps stupidly explained and I wanted to like it! The one thing I will say is the actors tried their best. Wearing my sad face on this one.
This film tells story of an office worker for a weapons manufacturer, whose co-workers are turned into zombies by an energy drink. The film actually starts out not too bad and quite funny. However once the horror/zombie bit comes in, it falls apart. The horror effects are good. Plenty of blood and gore but it gets a bit dull. Some of the effects are pretty poor. The jokes fall flat. There is little action. Its not really that scary or gory.Although it was well acted, I had no connection to the characters. I really didn't care by the end what happened to them. It is a shame as there is some great acting and the first bit of the film shows promise. It would probably been better if it had been kept as a straight office comedy rather than trying to make it a horror.
