Zoombies

I came into watching this movie with no expectations and this made it a better film. It has a unique plot and although the acting may be sub par, it is filled with a lot of funny one liners. Overall, i would recommend as long as you're watching it for entertainment and not in a critical way.

This movie never figured out what it was supposed to be. The story was a mess and the acting was worse. But a gorilla side-eyed a guy and for that reason alone I give it 3 stars. Not to mention the worst green screen scene ever.

When a strange virus quickly spreads through a safari park and turns all the zoo animals undead, those left in the park must stop the creatures before they escape and zombify the whole city.

Yes, the CGI is beyond deplorable. Yes, it comes from The Asylum, who have almost never made a good movie. And yes, it blatantly rips off "Jurassic Park" (though at least it acknowledges this). And yet, somehow, it manages to succeed as a so bad it's good movie.

Unlike garbage like "Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre", this film had a certain level of heart and humor. Few of the characters are likable, but it has an unpredictability to it that makes it fresh. And the way a child takes on a koala is... well, somewhat disturbing and yet hilarious.

There is a temptation to compare this to Sharknado in the whole 'so lame that it is cool' category of terrible movies. The problem is that while Sharknado utilises a stupid concept to make a movie that is pure trash but also pure awesome, Zoombies is mostly the trash part with very little awesome.

There are clear comparisons to Jurassic World, but where that movie's shaky plot is made up for by big budget effects, cool set pieces and Chris Pratt, this movie has none of these, so it is just mostly rubbish.

Sure there are some laughs at seeing actors pretend they are sitting on elephants and hanging from a rope (seriously how hard is it to actually shoot actors hanging from a rope - just put them on a rope a couple of feet above the ground), but overall it is far more cringe than amusement. Possibly good for a laugh if you are tired of all the other 'so lame it's cool' movies out there, but really this one is the pits.

A virus gets spread through a little monkey that makes animals go insane and kill people. The monkey was at a huge wildlife park that is getting ready to open to the public. Before long other animals are infected and it is survival of the fittest as employees and interns try and get out alive.

This is one of the better Asylum Films which doesn't say much I guess. Watching zombie giraffes chasing people was funny. I know that's a stretch. For some reason they had to CGI the staff riding elephants. I thought of Calamity Of Snakes (1982) when the birds are attacking people. The same cheesiness when they go about killing them.
