nickboldrini A post apocalypse zombie film which is shot mainly from the POV cameras of the characters, with occasional CCTV footage to add to it. This makes fight scenes and other parts hard to follow, but it doesn't matter, because this is all fairly run of the mill stuff, with nothing to add to the genre.

marc-ostroga First of all, why are they wearing those helmets when they are out of mesh? You can actually see through them in the gallery! Why don't they use actual rubber or some kind of cloth? This is totally ridiculous, is this out of laziness or stupidity? The Story and set is OK, acting as well, but the rest pretty much is not so good and makes it awkward to watch.

Gobobo I was dubious! The rating, the early reviews, my love of gory George Romero movies had all led me to deciding not to see this. But, my wife wanted to go... Well, ninety-one breathless minutes later I turned to her, big grin on my face and had to state "That was awesome!" Yes, I can see why people don't like it. It is very different to the traditional zombie movie, and very different to the book. But you know what, who cares - it's not a traditional zombie movie, or the book - it's different. So suck it it up whiners and enjoy this for what it is! The movie begins with a short intro to the main character and her family (it was enough, it told me all I needed to know) before launching into a fantastic, break neck sequence that establishes the pace for most of the rest of the movie. It's violent, visceral and shocking without any reliance on gore. The tension is racked up (especially in the escape from the ambulance sequence) with a series of spectacular set pieces and things get better and bigger until the film slows the pace for the final reel with a slow burning, smaller scale sequence set outside the safe zone. It's an unusual choice to end a movie with the smallest set piece, but it worked well for me as it was in line with the fact that the answer is often so small it gets overlooked. The gravity of the decisions the Dr. has to make here are greater than any previously in the movie (where mostly she just has to run like hell!) and it's that that makes this such a powerful set piece to end the movie. I learned several things from this movie 1) to let go of my preconceptions about what a zombie film should be, 2) that a low rating doesn't mean its for kids - I have two sons and despite the lack of gore I certainly wouldn't let then see this. Its very intense and that (not the gore) is what would scare them. 3) to go with the flow - I did here and was swept along for a rapid fire 91 minute thrill ride that was a hell of a lot of fun. I for one will be getting this on blue ray and I'll be first in line for any sequel. But I will admit, an undated version would be very welcome!Oh wait, this is a review for a good zombie flick. Pandemic is utter sh**.

The Couchpotatoes The problem I have with this movie is that it is like watching a guy playing a video game like Resident Evil. A first person shooter that I would rather play myself instead of watching it for that long. If you play a game like that you're at least enjoying yourself, but watching a movie like Pandemic is everything but enjoyable. The shaky camera shots are legion in this movie, at least half of the movie is shot like that, and besides making people dizzy I don't get why they still use this technique of filming. I'm really not a fan of first person filming and I doubt that there are a lot of fans of this technique. Add on that that the story is pretty boring and basic and you get a bad movie. The amount of times that the bad zombies are chasing you very fast and than suddenly wait for you to finish your conversation is just ridiculous. It just doesn't make any sense. Does the editor not see that? Anyways, the story is mediocre, the filming is awful and the cast is not good. Just neglect this movie.
