Paciente Zero: A Origem do Virus

This is a relatively unmemorable film. The strong points are the performances of Stanley Tucci and Natalie Dormer along with some others, and several novelties that make this different from a typical mindless-zombie film. On the negative side, the overall plot thrust was formulaic, and the zombies themselves seemed a little superhuman at times. That may have been part of the story, but if so it was never explained. Overall, the film was flawed in terms of its approach, but most of us don't have high standards for these types of film. I'm rating it a 6 meaning that it was engaging enough to finish, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you really love this genre.

With a few changes, it would have been a very good TV pilot. The zombies are much better than those in The Walking Dead, which sort of fumble around. Think 28 Days Later.

I am mostly writing a review because of the plethora of 1 star reviews, which seemed unfair. The only thing I can guess is that people who like some of the name actors, but generally don't care for zombie films, took a chance on this and were disappointed.

I've seen far worse Zombie movies than this one. It's not as bad as some of the reviewers on here make out. The genre I guess has been done to death, but this movie has a couple of original story points that make it watchable.

I don't know what it is nowadays but many films I see just don't end [properly. They neither finish the story or hint that the story continues - they just come to a stop - which is what this one does. There is little build up and then - stop - thats it.

Apart from that I don't think the film is as bad as the low reviews it has received on here.

it is worth watching but won't demand much of you.

This movie was fairly well acted and unfortunately did not utilize Stanley Tucci enough. The story was promising as the infected could actually communicate, which makes for an interesting Zombie film. Despite a great premise and strong actors it could not save this movie from poor writing. The movie was painfully dull at times and felt flat. The ending seemed as if they just cut the tape at a random point. If they are thinking making a part II they should pass.

I really can not understand the hate for this movie. So many 1 star "Reviews." Having been a IMDB user since the early days, I am used to seeing all sorts of strange reviews, but never have I seen such misplaced hatred for a reasonably good movie. Understand me, this is not a "Great" movie, however, it is competent in every way, and there are many many worse movies! This is more a psychological movie than an action movie. It could almost be a live theatre piece. For what it is worth, I enjoyed it, possibly the worst thing was Mat Smith's "American" accent, but it's not worth the hate.
