I am basing my 9 stars for two reasons. First, the choreography is top notch. Second the cinematography is top notch. Simply put, this a very beautiful movie to watch. As for the story and plot...it's an action movie with a fairly simple story. It was designed to entertain with action and composition so the story is not the main vehicle which it uses to engage the viewer. If you are looking for extremely beautiful images, super insane kinetic choreography and fight scenes, you have come to the right place. The fights are on par with and perhaps even surpass Crouching Tiger, or Hero. Woo Ping just keeps improving on his choreography. I don't know how he does it, but he does it in every new movie. This is a definite purchase on bluray for my collection.

1. Lots of action and good special effects. That's why I went to see it. 2. It had a good concept…as far as aliens invading goes..OK, so it's aliens invading. 3. Horrible script. The dialog was dry and predictable. Even one patron started to say stuff before the characters said the lines, it was hilarious. 4. Character chemistry was not believable. I didn't care for them, and I didn't believe that such people would ever hook up in real life, nor would they appear they way they do… example? The artist guy who looks like a 6ft 7 model our of some cologne advert with a skinny mustache. 5. No explanation of why, how, where the aliens came from to do what or how they operated… 6.They forced the first scene to draw attention to the movie because of horrible storyline. Then afterwards, flashes back to tell us back story 15 hrs. before events occurred…and those 15 hrs. had nothing to do with the Aliens…just horrible dialog which attempts to build characters which nobody cares about nor contributes to the story behind the aliens. 7. Absolutely absurd ending….IF and I stress IF this is how the movie ends and there will be no sequels, then in this case, this movie is a waste of time and has no point at all.

So I hope to God they make a sequel to iron things out…because that ending credit sequence with the stills showing the aftermath of the ending sequence just doesn't cut it. Why? NOBODY knows or cares about the main characters, NOBODY knows why, who, how, where about the ALIENS…

I was entertained..but totally disappointed at the ending.

If I knew it was like this would I have paid to see it? NO. Would I spend time watching it for free on HD TV? Maybe. Would I download it for free to see it? NO.

I was skeptical of this one...but I am glad I gave it a try. The fx and acting are pretty good. The story is pretty engaging. It is a good sign when you make a zombie movie with super awesome looking zombies which don't steal away the spot light and distract from the general story line or character development.

I enjoyed this immensely and look forward to buying the whole collection when it finally is released. Good camera, FX, storyline, acting...all in all a very good product.

I kind reminds me of the quality of the new Battlestar Galactica writing. You feel for the characters. I give it a 9 out of 10 for a zombie movie. I would give Shuan of the Dead 3 or 4 stars. Not a fan of zombie comedy mixes.
