Dead Rising: Endgame

Fifteen minutes into this wasteland and first question popped out - How - or why - does junk like this get produced and actually make any money?

Boring and predictable plot quickly wears thin and gave easy odds on how soon we would bail out of this film. We made it to the 65 minute mark.

For those excited about the first movie, this sequel didn't do anything new or exciting - more stupid characters doing predictably stupid things.

We had the ability to fast forward on this (and we used it!) in the hopes of it getting better - it doesn't.

So many zombies where getting offed in predictable ways it seemed like a game of marathon Whack-a-Zombie. You lost track after the first 50 zombies.

Too much gratuitous profanity, too many characters without depth, all making it hard to care for any of the characters.

Skip this one - hundreds of better zombie flicks out there!

You been warned.

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.

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.

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.
