Endzeit

Pout, brood, sulk, zombie, repeat. If you like watching a sad girl wander around the beautiful countryside and occasionally hang out with another sad girl then you will enjoy this movie. The zombies are fast, everything else is in slow motion.

Walk like a zombie, talk (well, maybe a grunt) like a zombie, look like a zombie. Yes, still another unexplained (probably because they can't) plague produces another apocalypse. Two small fenced-in cities survive w/different ways of dealing w/the infected. One looking for a cure; the other just bashing heads. Confusing, disjointed storyline so couldn't get into it. Weirdly, and also unexplained, was an environmental message of maybe after all the destruction humans have done to the planet we don't deserve to be here (hard to disagree w/that point), but most weird is that some humans seem to have become sorta partially a plant & partially a human?? Maybe there's hope for us??

I loved this gorgeous movie Okay. Not your average zombie flick. If you only watch zombie movies for body count and makeup then probably not your cup o tea. The lead actor was mesmerizing. Thank you

The story of Endzeit is kinda similar to The Walking Dead World Beyond's. It has been two years since a zombie virus epidemic infected all but two German cities. Vivi and Eva want to flee the struggling community in Weimar for the one other safe-haven: Jena. They board an unmanned train between the two cities and hope to safely arrive. But of course the train breaks down and in the middle of nowhere they have to navigate themselves safely to Jena.

What I like about Endzeit is its atmosphere. It's filmed at some beautiful spots in Germany and that makes it look very different from, let's say, American zombie films. The two leads perform well. On their way to Jena they encounter strange abandoned places (a castle) and even a strange woman who calls herself 'the gardener'. Is she real? We don't know. In the end there's a nice scene with a blind zombie.

Of course there are some things that don't make sense. In the trailer you see the girls escape from a zombie herd. Where the hell did the zombies come from? In the woods they hardly encounter anyone and here the whole street is filled with them.

Also, the way our lead comes to terms with her past is... too convenient. But it's a nice scene anyway.

Not your cliché zombie flick, but I really enjoyed Endzeit.

Maybe it would make more sense if I were German. But I doubt it very much. Basically a mental, idiotic, entitled and useless young woman is making her way in a Zombie apocalypse. Has some very odd characters like a plant women and plant infested zombies to add to the mess. Skip it. Terrible.
