I don't believe that Romero has lost his touch, like others have commented

First off, I would like to say that so far, I have only seen 4 of the 6 current living dead series. I've seen Night, Dawn, Land, and of course, Survival. So far, I've read that everyone hates the social satire behind Survival, the CGI effects, and that it isn't frightening. All of which I mostly believe is bullcrap. The social satire may be a little flimsy, but I think I know where Romero was trying to get to. How there will always be something controversial, and how far people might go for their beliefs. While not the best, it's still decent. The CGI is great in this film. They have some pretty nice kills, such as in the beginning where a soldier gets killed by headshot. At least he doesn't use CGI the whole time. The movie still has fantastic realtime effects with zombie ripping apart people. The part where people don't call this movie frightening is sad. By this day and age, I find it hard for anything to be scary since many people have decided to be all up in our face with scares, blood, and shocking scenes. We've all become accustomed to violence, and supposed "scares".

This movie is pretty decent, and should definitely have a reappraisal.
