Redcon-1 (2018)
3/10
Far too long
27 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
It felt like half the movie was in slow motion. Many scenes could have been removed. The science fiction plot where the military employs a scientist to create a human weapon whereby the experiment goes wrong is not very original. The dialogue was not exactly engaging causing a loss of interest early in the film and therefore the characters. There was a lot of gore as one would expect in a zombie film; some parts executed pretty well (particularly the mine field scene towards the end of the movie with the limbs sticks out to me) and some parts dreadful like a child drew it up. The special effects where the group is ambushed by one of the gangs must be one of the most ridiculous blood / death scene I've seen in a long time. Blood squirting profusely from knees and arms when shot and then when the military guy gets shot in the head, the tiniest amount of blood drips from the gun shot wound. I must say I found that funny, and maybe that's what the director was going for.

TLDR; One time watch at best, and I would say that there are far better options if you're looking for a zombie movie.
