Dead Rising: Endgame

Picking up 2 years after the events in Wachtower, Chase has been discredited, trying to redeem himself continues his investigation aided by new allies. Television series veteran director Pat Williams infuses better pacing. Stylish camera shots, yet somehow it never rises above that feeling of a TV movie of the week. Jesse Metcalfe shows of his action hero chops taking on faster moving Zombies. Billy Zane is wasted as a evil Scientist his scenes are few. Throughout there's this feeling that something is missing, in some ways it's better than the first in other ways it fails overall it's still above your acreage zombie movie. I might need to watch it again, I gave the first an 8 giving this sequel a 7 mainly because it the only improvement is in style and pacing.

If you enjoyed the first one, I think you will enjoy this one as well. It's about the same quality etc. I didn't personally jump or get scared, but few movies do that to me anyhow.

Didnt think through end of times 2 yrs later but yet in back ground shots you see airplanes and moving traffiic well as rainy yet still see people in background walking with umbreallas in a world covered by zombies

2 out of 5 stars.

Dead Rising Endgame is a disappointing sequel to the action zombie genre. Worst than the first movie. First of all the plot is boring. About a government conspiracy and cover ups with the zombrex chips. While the good guys have to travel into a quarantined infected city to stop there servers. Yes. Some things do get left open. Maybe for another sequel. It also lacks the action than the first. But when Chase does fight against zombies. It does get entertaining and creative for those rare moments. Especially during the escalators scene. Also a new addition is the zombies are faster and stronger which makes it a little exciting. The acting has yet to improve. The script and direction is filled with bad dialogue. Slow and boring direction with its sub plot. And uneven pacing. I hope they get to reboot the adaptations and make better movies out of them.

This movie was as good as the first part WatchTower. Instead of being 2 hours like the first one this movie is just an hour and a half. They cut off a lot of the fluff boring part from the first one. The zombie kills in this one I believe is way better than the first movie. However, there's not enough zombies in the film but more soldiers and people than anything else. This movie takes itself a little bit more serious than the first one too. They did leave this movie ending opened for another sequel if they wanted to. I'm surprised they haven't already but it's been 4 years already since this movie came out.
