Transit 17

In fact, looking at the physiques of the extras, I'd pay reasonable odds this was a passion project of a gym, or enlisted then for at least two principals and a whole lot of army dudes. There's some imagination in the setting, the plot has a least an attempt at complexity, but the script is pretty average and lapses into cliche and trope. Still, the actors are charismatic, they do make good use of locations and the editing is competent which makes it at least watchable, if not good.

It speaks volumes about movie production when they can't even write up a description without two typos. Quality control anyone? That right there is enough to tell you not to bother watching this.

Unbelievably bad POS movie

This being a zombie movie, of course I had to sit down and watch it. And the movie does have an above mediocre rating - as of May 13th 2020 - here on IMDb, so it couldn't be all that bad. Right?

Wrong!

This movie was a swing and a miss. And I have no idea what went on when writer and director Guy Bleyaert when this movie was written, much less understand how it actually made it to the screen.

The idea might have been well-intended and worked well enough on paper, but translated to the screen, it just didn't go all that well. Personally, I didn't care one ounce about the story, especially because it was less than mediocre script writing, so the movie wasn't really off to a great start.

As for the acting in the movie. Well, let's just say that you will not find yourself in for any award winning performances that will bedazzle you or have you riveted to the edge of the seat.

The movie just lost me entirely when the zombies were introduced. It was little more than people with fuzzy hair and really lousy Halloween costume slapped on their faces. It was atrocious. And that was actually what made me give up on the movie. I just couldn't take that serious.

My rating of "Transit 17" is a generous two out of ten stars. At least they tried to make a zombie movie, eh?

I am actually a fan of B movies and low budget films, but I am NOT a fan of this one unfortunately. The script was actually good all things considered, there is definitely a talent in the writing, keep working at it because I think the real crafted piece is yet to come.

But there is nothing fresh or new with this zombie film, and the acting was not great by any means, if at least annoying.

The CGI, for the budget was actually not terrible, although the guns up close looked like toys.
