Review of Zombie Apocalypse

Having spent 300+ hours playing "Left4Dead" and "Left4Dead 2", I cannot be neutral about this movie. The trek to safety is engaging. I wish they had more looting. I think that the east coast characters do not loot as well as native Los Angelians :) The zombie battles are intense. I do wonder why they seem to stumble into packs without a lot of reconnaissance. Zombie special effects are what they are. I am not sure that I can point to any zombie movie that separates from the pack in this regard. Yes, the character development is weak, but there are at least some interesting character relationships. For those who have only seen Los Angeles from Beverly Hills or Universal Studios, it is interesting to see the city's industrial underbelly. To the "one star" reviewers, I think that these SyFy movies might be seen as what they are, low budget attempts to bring a new angle to the exhausted apocalypse subject.
