Well, of course I sat down to watch "Last Ones Out" when I was given the chance, especially since it is a zombie movie. I hadn't heard about it prior to sitting down to watch it, so I didn't know what to expect.
Turns out that this movie wasn't anything extraordinary. Sure, it was filmed in Africa, but it is hardly the first zombie movie to be filmed there. Sadly, the storyline was so generic that it was hurting the movie. You knew exactly what would happen way before it did, and there were no surprises along the way as the monotonous script unfolded on the screen.
I like zombie movies where there is at least some gore and where the zombies walk about in a slow pace. Turns out that "Last Ones Out" wasn't that kind of zombie movie. The infected in this movie were running fast and displaying ability of being athletic as well, and the sound they were making was just abysmal. It fully and totally ruined the zombie experience for me. And the movie was actually nothing more than a group of people trying to get from point A to point B before the evacuation was finished.
The acting in the movie was adequate, though the actors and actresses had very little to work with in terms of a proper script and storyline from writer and director Howard Fyvie.
I managed to sit through the entire movie, but I wasn't overly impressed or particularly entertained. My rating of "Last Ones Out" is a mere four out of ten stars. And this is not a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time. Not an outstanding addition to the zombie cinema.
