Zombie Apocalypse: Redemption

I wouldn't put this film in the league of Troma as I'm not sure if its to be taken serious or not, but I did get some enjoyment from what I'll call a C-horror movie. There are subtle (and not so subtle) references to Snake Plisken, Star Wars, From Dusk til Dawn, and other low budget zombie movies throughout ZA:R that I found entertaining. That being said, the acting was pretty awful from the lead female character, and the villain, Rome. Though, I suspect with Rome it was intended to be bad. I can't find any excuses for the lead female, however. She just seemed out of her element here. The fight scenes were playful instead of violent, almost comical if you don't take them too seriously. If you have a few hours to kill and you really enjoy low budget films, you may find this one entertaining. However, if you're looking for high quality then look elsewhere because you won't find any appreciation for this one. I can't say that it was all bad though. I got some laughs from it, and even enjoyed it from time to time.

I bought this movie from Amazon. Why? Well because I am huge zombie aficionado and I just have to watch all things zombie, read all things zombie, and play all things zombie. With my zombie-interest, yeah I bump into a lot of dubious stuff, and "Zombie Apocalypse: Redemption" was hardly worth the effort, much less worth the money I paid for it.

Right from the very beginning when there was a very 1980's computer game-like background story scrolling up on the screen, you just know that you are in for a bad time. And true enough, the movie didn't fail to deliver on that hunch. Just that background story was utter nonsense in itself, and it was hard to buy into the events that apparently had transpired there.

The acting in the movie was halting and stagnant at best. It wasn't really coming off on the screen like people were having their hearts in the movie. And I can't really say that I remember any of the people in the movie from their performances. I just remember a single face, but that was because I saw him in "From Dusk till Dawn", can't recall his name though.

As for the zombies in the movie, well don't expect to be blown away by cool make-up or CGI effects. And I especially loved the fight scene at the camp, where the zombie actually lifted its arm and blocked a punch. Are you kidding me? Epic fail...

"Zombie Apocalypse: Redemption" was a slap in the face for me, and it is a zombie movie that will be bagged and tagged, slapped on the movie shelf and never watched again. It was actually so horrendous that I started zapping chapters to see if it was all equally boring and uninspiring; and it was. So I ended up turning off the movie, and I know I will never pop it back in the DVD player and see how it ended.

If you are a zombie aficionado like me, stay well clear of this zombie movie, because it is a disappointment. Sure, now I own it, and it is part of my ever-growing (and rotting, no offense) collection of zombie stuff. But the movie will never be more than just a filler on the shelf.

"Zombie Apocalypse: Redemption" is a forgettable not B-, but Z-Movie. The storyline does not exist, and the plot blends "Mad Max", "Snake Plissken" and "The Walking Dead" with the hot Angelique Sky and Alicia Clark wearing a few clothes. There are worst zombie movies released in the DVD market, but this one worth to take a peek if the viewer does not have nothing to do or pay for the rental. I bought this DVD attracted by the name of the veteran Fred Williamson. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "Dominação Zumbi" ("Zombie Domination")

One of a number of god awful zombie movies. I made it through to the dude in the warlock outfit. These so called producers, directors and most of all the writers should be banned for such crap

You know, I never realise that a movie can be this bad. I rented this movie through ITunes together with the other "Zombie Apocalypse" titles (there were 3 of them) and I have to say that ALL OF THEM WERE SO AWFUL!

I hate to say bad things about anything unless it is really-really bad and unfortunately with all the 3 Zombie Apocalypse titles I rented, all of them were awful.

Sorry, I'm just being honest.

Story line doesn't make sense and soooo boring... Acting was just so bad especially the fighting scenes....oh man.... CGI effect was probably made by a 10-year-old?

I'm wandering if they ever re-watch the movie during the making?

I'm a die hard zombie movie fan but for the past few days my life has just been in total apocalypse by watching these series.

Oh man............
