Zombieland

Totally not what I had expected..with the name being Zombieland!! Guess the saying shouldn't judge a book by its cover also is same with not judging a movie by the title!! I had a complrtely wrong idea of this great movie, of it being one of those really low budget looking, cheesy, dumb humor type of movie. Only b/c my husbands persistence & him knowing we rarely, if ever, have disagreed on movies we like/dislike & knowing we have same type of sense of humor,did I finally agree to watch this movie instead of a new release we were initially planning on watching. I was SOO VERY HAPPY that I did decide to watch it..it was nothing that I had imagined & everything great in a comedy type of movie that I love..not slap stick type, but just one liners throughout the entire movie, from each of the actors that was just appropriate each time, nothing overdone or too much but just the right amount. The cast was just AMAZING!! They couldnt have chosen a more perfect group of actors for the 4 main characters who made the movie..I can't picture it with anyone else playing those parts as they did & really making the movie how it was...GREAT!! Had an actual believable storyline.. another surprise & I would COMPLETELY RECOMMEND this movie to anyone who wants a lighthearted funny movie & dont mind some silly but not too much blood/gorey parts..I was shocked how much I really enjoyed this movie, even though I'm a huge fan of other zombie TV series as well as other serious zombie type movies. I think the name just threw me off & made me really not interested at all..I WAS SOOO WRONG..GREAT MOVIE & A MUST SEE!!! Will never 2nd guess my husband if he's pushing for me to see a movie he already saw(while I was sick one night) & wanted 2 see it again, not only so I could see it, but because he enjoyed it THAT MUCH he really wanted 2 see it again!! Would watch again myself, so definitely recommend!!! If name giving u a preconceived vision of what u think this movies going to b like & not happy w/that, like I was...forget the name & just start watching, u won't b disappointed!!!

good movie

Zombieland is a movie that is constantly juggled around my top 5 favorite film list. It did amazing things for its genre and justified zombie movies for the future. It even had a top secret cameo in spirit of being one of those great movies that actually suprise you and do not litter the spoilers in the trailer. Cloverfield was one such film that I support for its secrecy, and Zombieland follows in those brilliant footsteps. Hopefully more filmmakers will realize how rewarding it is for moviegoers to be genuinely suprised these days. It's hard to cram all the good praise about this film into a couple short paragraphs. It's an amazing film, beside all of its hilarious jokes. The rules of Zombieland take a worthy stab at bad horror filmmakers and demand reality within these cliches. Things like "buckling your seatbelts" and "check the backseat" are not stupid jokes. These are brilliant criticisms of bad zombie stories. We laugh because it's so true how lacking this genre is of some sort of reality. Zombieland created the reality with the rules. The comedy exceeds beyond one's expectations of a comedy. It is all due to excellent writing and acting. There's barely any slapstick and an absence of cheap gross humor or fart jokes. Zombieland, although it may not seem so, is all about wit and performance humor. Woody Harrelson gives a shockingly great performance in this film, as does Jesse Eisenberg. The writers of this film are intelligent individuals with their hearts attached to their work. I know this because they built so much great comedy in the script, while also maintaining a general emotion level during the film. One part of the flick nearly made me cry, before they softened me right back up again with an appropriate joke for the moment. In the commentary they stated how proud they were that they could generate an emotional scene and then non-abrubtly ease the scene into a hilarious moment. I am proud as well, and have the utmost respect for the writer and director. I have to stop going on, because I could rave about it all day. The editing, the stylized action...I love everything about Zombieland. I believe some people disagree with all the hype, because the film seems to be made for my generation. I don't believe that middle-aged to older folks will enjoy this film. It is a film that appeals to geeks and nerds, and it is our general consensus that the film straight rocks. On my last note, it makes a great blu-ray. The picture is awesome and the extras are all watchable. Picking up this blu-ray will give you something in your collection that has more replay value than most films out there today.

Zombieland is hands-down one of the most entertaining zombie comedies out there! The mix of humor, horror, and action is perfect, and the cast is fantastic—Woody Harrelson as Tallahassee is iconic, and Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin each bring something unique to their roles. The movie is full of clever moments, especially the “rules for surviving” that add a fresh and funny twist to the zombie genre. The pacing is great, and there's a nice balance between laugh-out-loud moments and intense action scenes. Even if you’re not a fan of traditional horror movies, the humor and wit make Zombieland a must-watch. And of course, there’s an unforgettable cameo that takes the movie to another level! Overall, Zombieland is a wild, enjoyable ride with characters you’ll actually care about. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, feel-good zombie flick that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Llegó muy bien cuidado el Steelbook, sin daños en el mismo, de buena calidad. La imagen en el disco 4K es muy buena y es una mejora notable desde el blu-ray convencional, siendo la nitidez, claridad e intensidad del color los ganadores, con efecto HDR10 que se presenta muy bien en pantalla. El audio en inglés Dolby Atmos es correcto, sin ningún artefacto de ruido o distorsión en los diálogos. También trae español latino Dolby Digital 5.1 y subtítulos en ambos idiomas. El código digital es válido para USA.

Zombieland macht einfach Spaß – witzig, schnell, kreativ und perfekt besetzt. Die Blu-ray liefert sehr gutes Bild und starken Sound, genau richtig für diesen Film. Für Fans von Horror-Comedy ein Muss. Ganz klare 5 Sterne!

this is a great movie fun plenty of action and of course 4 k quality a must have movie

Zombies have never really been a source of comedy until very recently. Romero managed to get a certain amount of comedy out of Dawn of the Dead with his satirical attack on consumerism, but up until Shaun of the Dead, zombies were not really considered to be comedy gold. And whilst many regard Shaun of the Dead as the zombie comedy that set the standard, with Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer may well have raised the bar. When the film opens, the zombie fuelled apocalypse is quickly dispensed with during the opening credits (an unknown infection turns people into bloodthirsty zombies and anyone bitten by a zombie becomes a zombie, pretty standard stuff really, but that's not what the film is really about) and we are introduced to our nameless hero, played by Jesse Eisenburg, a college geek who has spent his life being afraid of almost everything, too nervous to take chances and really live, and it is this very nervousness that has kept him alive due to his fear of everything from clowns to bathrooms to always fastening his safety belt when driving. Adapting his fears into a long list of do's and don'ts for survival (which crop up throughout the film in a very clever use of subtitles), our hero and narrator (a very, very knowing, funny and arch voice over) decides to head for Columbus to see if his parents are still alive (he was never really close to his parents and until later in the film he cannot figure out why he really wants to do this). Along the way he meets a short fused redneck in the shape of a very funny Woody Harrelson. Harrelson's character agrees to team up with Eisenberg, and the pair suffer a series of humorous and very bloody encounters before encountering two girls Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin. This foursome eventually team up, realising that they may be the last four people alive on Earth and they need each other, not just to survive but also to truly live. Zombieland is on the surface a simple comedy that utilises the end of the world to elicit laughs from its audience. And the film works very well on this level, and there is nothing wrong with that, but there is another, equally satisfying film here, as Eisenburgs character finally comes of age in the face of the ensuing apocalypse and realises that he may well have left to late to finally start living his life. Developing an attachment to his three fellow survivors, Eisenburg comes to the conclusion that this is now the only family that he will ever have, and it is his efforts to keep this mis-matched "nuclear family" together that forms the core of this hugely funny, hugely enjoyable and hugely satisfying zom com. There is also a number of terrific performances within this film, with Harrelson being the most obvious with his slightly over the top but loveable redneck with his violent hatred of zombies (the reason for which we discoverer late on in the film, which makes him are more rounded character) and his love of twinkies, as well as Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin turning in terrific performances, but this is really Eisenbergs movie, as he is the heart and soul of this film. No one gets a name, with characters referring to each by the places they come from or are heading to so as not to get to attached, just in case (Eisenberg is known as Columbus, whilst Harrelson becomes Tallahassee, Breslin Little Rock and Stone Wichita) but even without this most obvious of character conventions, you really do care about this slightly dysfunctional "family", and coupled with a lot of laugh out loud genuine belly laughs and some really bloody violence, often in the same scene, as well as a truly outstanding cameo from a Hollywood comedy legend that is almost a total scene stealer, this film is not just as good as Shaun of the Dead, it may well be its superior.

Tout a certainement déjà été dit sur ce film. Mais quel plaisir de voir un bon film de Zombie (surtout après l'immense déception des deux derniers Romero). Bon, certes, ici, ca n'est pas le meme genre car on est à mi chemin entre le film de Zombie et la comedie. Mais ce que j'aime justement dans ce film, c'est qu'il est (souvent) drôle sans toutefois tomber dans la parodie potache. Ca reste un vrai film de zombie avant tout ! Les personnages sont excellents et bien amenés, un Bill Murray particulièrement drôle, et beaucoup d'action ! C'est la recette d'un bon film... Je pourrai m'étaler plus, mais je crois que l'essentiel se résume à une chose : J'ai déjà vu ce film 4 fois, et je ne m'en lasse pas.. je le re-regarde avec le meme plaisir à chaque fois ! Et ca, pour moi, ca mérite obligatoirement 5 étoiles.. ;-)
