Quarantine L.A.

IMDb says the estimated budget for this film was $1.2 million.... whattt??? And more importantly- WHY??

I guess the budget was spent on decent cinematography? But the script was weak, the characters were generic cliches, and the acting was pretty dang bad. I mean - I've seen worse. But that doesn't make this good by any means.

The worst character was a very small Asian woman who was supposed to be a powerful player in charge of military decisions and with an evil side. While I commend powerful roles for women - please hire a woman who can play the part. I wouldn't believe this woman is capable of being head librarian, let alone in charge of the military. Also, she was visibly reading her lines off cue cards, so yeah...

The lead alpha male type guy was also a total flop. Cliche generic character, poor acting, just generally lame. Nothing interesting about him, zero charisma, not attractive. Annoying/idiotic alpha male cliche behavior.

I sometimes really enjoy low budget zombie and sci-fi films. And I'm usually pretty generous with my ratings, but this one was such a dud. There was nothing that made it interesting at all. A bunch of non-actors repeating lines without any sense of them being real characters.

Also, some ridiculous choices in the plot were a total joke. At one point, the characters are inside of a big sturdy building that is surrounded by a fence with barbed wire. They declare that this place is too unsafe to spend the night and they must go a mile further to a safer spot. They lazily trudge along as the sun sets without any sense of purpose or urgency and finally decide to sleep outside in a parking lot slash junkyard??? That was the safer spot?? Ummm okkk. Just plain stupid.

If there was at least something mildly entertaining, interesting, funny, or original here I would give a better score, but there just wasn't. I'm giving 2 stars only because I've seen worse.

Good idea for soryline but writing and acting let it down. I noticed on one of the military officers he had medals and insignia on wrong side surely they worn on left and not on the right. Film is low budget so won't expect it to be like others in the genre but this film is a let down.

It felt like you were watching it play out in real time.Good for some things,not this. They want me too say more It was as boring as watching Paint dry. Had no real connection to the characters Nor did I care about them. William F looked an acted like a crazy old coot,not a surgeon. The Boobs,well they were boobs for no reason. The infected looked like a bunch of fools at a backyard Halloween party looking for something to do. Have I said enough,it wasted our time,don't let it waste yours. It was a story idea that would've been something,Had the story more meat. I was hoping for it to be better than the M.M. show. If there were only something good to say about it I would,but I can't think of...oh wait it ended.

This isn't the worst but it's far from good. The music is so loud and overwhelming that you can't hear the dialogue at times. The actors had no chemistry with each other and were very stiff in delivering their lines. With more time and rehearsals this could have been a decent movie!

My team watched this over Zoom one day, and I've gotta tell you, I was ready to un-mute myself and just start going full MST3K on it! It is just that absurd! The only way it could be watchable is if the folks at Rifftrax did commentary on it.
