"You wanna eat... how about a piece of your friend."
Wow! An experience that cannot be said in a review of a thousand page. This movie was an incredible mix between the horses and weapons, between old and new, between Chronicles of Narnia, the lord of the ring and resident evil. a mix too sweet to resist. And trust me; I am not wrong when I say one of the best of all time. It mixed the tow kinds of things I look for at first in a movie: The fight with the swords and the horses and the other kind with the weapons and others. It's like a whole new kind of movies nobody invented before. I said Wow like a thousand time and was impressed and was clapping even thought I watched it alone on the DVD. It was too great to be true, But it was true after all.
At first I thought I was going to watch another movie that had a virus infection in it, and then all the things happens as normal as possible. But, yes I admit it, I was incredibly wrong. I was amazed by what I saw, a movie too great to talk about. I was shocked by all of it, from the start till the end.
I always start with the story. So I don't even know where to begin. 30 years ago, The UK was infected with a deadly virus that hit half of the country, to avoid the virus's infection to the other side of the country; a wall was built around the area that was infected, isolating it from the outside world. The wall was built and made carefully and was fully armed to let nobody get out of the infected area that was called as, The Hot Zone. I think I should say that this was the plan of the government of England. A quarter of a century later, with a new outbreak of the Reaper resurfacing in London, it becomes apparent that the government's best laid plans have gone completely, bloody awry. Department of Domestic Security (DDS) Chief Bill Nelson had summoned a meeting to send people inside the hot zone, after he saw some satellite photos of Reaper survivors in the hot zone. The Chief of the DDS thought that since he found some survivors than that is sure that there is a cure for them to live. The Crew that was sent in the Hot Zone to look for this cure, and they get in some unbelievable adventures. To not talk more, But I assure you that there is more to the story than what I wrote, the story was great. I thought I should leave some things hidden So you would actually like to see the movie.
Another important I think I should talk about was the actors, didn't really know the names of the actors, But I did recognize them from there filmography. For example Rhona Mitra, I didn't really recognize her in the movie, but After I knew that she was the chick from Number 23, and that she's gonna be in the next underworld, I think I did find it interesting that she had made this great movie too, all along with the tow I had talked about now. By the way, I am really looking for the great movie underworld 3, and think that she is gonna be really good in it. I didn't really recognize any of the other faces in the movie, so I didn't really pay attention on the cast. But for the acting, it was pretty good, but I was really afraid they could've ruined it. But they did a really good job.
I do really wanna talk about the visualization, because it was greatly made. the thing was that it was fully loaded with action so if it didn't have good visualation, nobody would've watched it. But they did a good job throw everything. the great thing they did was that they did a great job in the mix. the mix was good between the historical kind of movies and the action packed kind of movies with guns and other stuff. They did even the action between the swords and the guns. as the movie starts, I thought it was gonna be exactly like Resident evil, but it wasn't. it's like you was in the resident evil movie and you get to Narnia in a second. But i did like that alot more than I thought I would. It had a fight just like the gladiator movie. I wont talk anymore to not ruin the movie, but I can say it's a must watch, that is sure.
After all I have talked about the movie, here comes the part of the great and incredible music throughout the movie. the music was incredible and I had to talk about it. The music was a mix between the 300 soundtrack and the rock n' roll kind of music. It was great to say I did like both of them as music effects. It was incredible especially that they used it in the exact right time. It was really good, because The mix of both kind of music effects was hard, so they had to do it carefully, especially that both kind of music are total opposit. that is why I think they did a great job in this point too.
To say I was excited when the movie was released in the theaters, I would probably be a liar. I had no Idea that the day would come when I would watch this movie, nor that I would like it. But after all I did like it, and I enjoyed the movie to the point that I would say: woooohoooo, they made it from the explosion, or whatever it is. I can tell you the movie is incredible, and full of many kind of things I like to see in a movie: it had the guns, the swords, the music, the visuals and the acting - not the actors - which was kinda good.
All I really have to say at the end of this is, yes, this is one of the best movies of all time in my mind.

I thank you for telling me that that is a good review,
I respect your opinion and that is why i am answering it.
3 if the best of all time means the best "in the history of" than the best of all time for me means the best in the history of movies that I think there cool.
4 yes I think it's a great movie and phat thinks it's a great movie and it is in the best of all time in our book or mine if it is not in phat's
I respect your opinion but come on lets just cool it down a little phat and moviebuff, each one of you got his own point and both of you r right.
Dark knight, i did give it a five stars because I think it deserves Five, I still respect your opinion if you don;t, but yes it is 5 stars and I think it is cool enough to take 5 or I would obviously not give it 5. you r free with your opinion just like me dark knight, so yeah I did give it a 5, and I said why throughout the full review.
And Bragg... Gui is not a 'tard.
You're right and I'm wrong Phat. Is that what you want to hear? Ok.. here goes:
You're right and I'm wrong Phat.
Happy???? ;)
1st Gui... I said I was glad you liked the movie... and I am. Everyone has their preferences. And it is a good review by the way... one of your best ones yet.
2nd... I have the right to my opinion (just like you guys) and I think this movie was a ripoff from start to finish and I hated it.
3rd... Phat... if you're really 21, then our education system should've taught you that when someone says "the best all-time" they're saying the best "in the history of"... that means statistics are needed because you are no longer talking about opinion. In this case.. box office numbers.
Yes.. I agree... I don't think Titanic should be the "best all-time" but it is... according to stats. You can't say "Kevin Jones is one of the best all-time runningbacks in the NFL"... cause he's not. He's just a blip in the NFL. He doesn't hold a candle to the Emmitt Smiths, Jim Browns, Walter Peytons, etc..
So... Gui thinks this is a great movie. Fine. Phat thinks its a great movie... that's fine too. But "one of the best all-time"?
NO! I've said my piece so... peace. :) (With a big smile on my face... it might be a fake one... but its there.
that's exactly what you wrote i copied it and pasted it.
I think if you didn't like it then you just didn't but I did. anyways do you have a doomsday review so I can check it out.
BTW i did comment your dracula review
about the mad thing in the interview with the vampire review, I was not mad at all I already said that it was just an accident and then I wrote more than half of the comment in caps lock and it was nothing to show that I am mad because I am not.
thnks for everyone who thought that the review was good.
and it's kinda funny, because on Gui's last review MB123 was first, and argued a point, and i think Gui is getting kinda mad. lol, i didn't mean any offense, Gui.
Anyway, great review, one of your best. You keep getting better and better with each review, and don't let anyone tell you differently. Personally, I didn't find this movie all that great, and sorry, Gui, but i agree wih MB123. It was a rip off. At least in Resident Evil they actually got a hot girl, but not in this. They couldn't even get original ideas. I have seen this type of movie so many times before, it was boring, especially a second time I watched it.
When you say "It's like a whole new kind of movies nobody invented before.", I have to disagree with that. Everyone has seen this movie before, even if they havent seen this movie, if that makes any sense. lol
BUT, still a great reivew, good job. I give this movie a 3, but the review a 4.5
Yes.. you ARE wrong. This is NOT one of the best of all time. The movie bombed at the box office and it just plained sucked. It stole ideas from the Resident Evil trilogy, the Escape from New York movie, and the Mad Max trilogy. It was a ripoff from start to finish. And everybody saw what it really was... a piece of crap ripped off movie.
Glad you liked it, but no way is this a 5 star movie.
