One of our best and brightest, Justin Quizon, was fortunate enough to attend an advanced screening of the upcoming flick "Zombieland." After seeing it, myself and the rest of the Aboutheroes crew tied him up in our basement and worked him over with a blowtorch and a car battery until he agreed to write a review for the flick. This is that review:
(Writers note: This is a review for an early test screening cut of the film “Zombieland”. Some special effects were not done, scenes can be added or taken out before release and the score/music could be temporary.)
Walk into a movie with a title like “Zombieland”, you expect a certain kind of flick. A title like that you would hope the flick should be fun,have a tongue firmly in it's cheek sense of humor, and if they do this right, some scares (being that the movie has zombies and such.)
So, does this flick deliver on such promises with a title like that?
Oh you betcha.
The film set up is fairly simple (what with the help of a really stylish, cool opening credits sequences).
The world's fucked, and a zombie outbreak has destroyed everything. In order for you to survive you need to be smart, cautious, and be a bit of an off kilter person to survive it.
hat's how the films narrator Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has survived. He was already a neurotic shut-in before the zombie outbreak, and strangely being a neurotic shut-in has helped him survive. He has created a list of rules to survive “Zombieland” and with each new incident, he learns and adds to the list just so he can survive.
Soon he meets Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a crazed badass who apparently having the time of his life in this apocalypse as he found himself to be an effective zombie killer. They team up, fights some more zombies in Tallahassee's strange personal quest (I'm going to let you see for yourself when you watch the flick to find out what that personal quest is.)
They then bump into Wichita (Emma Stone) and her little sister, Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), a couple of con artist siblings. The quartet form this strange team as they travel on their road trip to California in hopes of going to a amusement park that apparently is “zombie-free”.
At first glance, the number one comparison to “Zombieland” would have to be “Shaun of the Dead”, but other then they're both zombie/comedies they don't have much in common.
What “Zombieland” DOES share with “Shaun of the Dead” is the rules on how to portray the zombies in the flick. Like “Shaun”, the zombies in “Zombieland” are treated very scary; they are not silly, goofy monsters. They are deadly predators and are never used in a humors manner. (Note: these are the FAST zombies that 28 days later... and the Dawn of the Dead remake popularized)
The humor thankfully belongs with the characters, and it's a fun cast with some genuine chemistry.( A pretty funny driving montage really showcases this during the middle of the flick) The fun thing is realizing that ALL of the characters actually seem better off in a land of the undead as we get quick flashbacks to their lives before, hell one of the flashbacks proves even more effective by making one of the characters deeper then they appear to be.
While Eisenberg, Stone and Breslin are pretty good in this, the real star is Woody Harrelson. His Tallahassee is just rules in this. The glee he shows killing zombies and his take no shit attitude are real highlight in this and it's just great to see Woody Harrelson have fun in this.
Also, there is a great, great, great cameo that I really hope that they don't even hint in future TV Spots/trailers, because it's so damn great and it's my favorite part of the whole movie.
Director Ruben Fleischer (who's only real credits before this was working on the Jimmy Kimmel Show and a documentary) really proves himself here as he showcases some fun inventive action scenes, a good eye for comedy and some really cool stylish ideas (the way how Columbus's rules pop up through out the film was a nice touch.)
My only real complaints is the inherent rushness the film has so far. In this cut of the flick the movie movies at a real brisk 80+ minutes, but I honestly feel 10 more minutes wouldn't hurt it to give it some more meat. Also there are some ideas that are not really fleshed out that I wish they discussed more. One idea was that each person renamed themselves as the city they came from, but for some reason the sisters Wichita and Little Rock are named two different cities kinda randomly (I know if they're from the same city they can't have the same name for the movie but why these cities in particular?) One of my favorites is the idea of the zombie kill of the week, but we only get one and it would have been awesome to have seen more.
Honestly, I think a lot of the these problems stems from the fact the movie was originally a TV pilot, and you can see how these things would have developed if this was still a weekly show. (Can you imagine how much fun it would have been to tune in each week see a different zombie kill of the week).
Even with these flaws, the movie is still a ton of fun. Personally, this might be my favorite guilty pleasure movie of the year, and I will wait in hopes to hear if they plan to do a "Zombieland" 2, because I think they just gotten started with what to do with this world.
