Apocalypse Z: Le début de la fin

Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End is a solid addition to the zombie horror genre. While it doesn't bring anything groundbreaking, it's a well-made film with good acting, an engaging story of a man and his cat surviving in what feels like the end of the world, and endless waves of bloodthirsty undead. Notably, this movie features "fast zombies," so expect lots of frantic chases and intense action.

After watching the trailer, I had high expectations, so I was a bit disappointed by the slow start. The first 45 minutes had little action, but it turned out to be the calm before the storm. Suddenly, the pace shifted, and in just a few minutes, Apocalypse Z went from zero to one hundred. From then on, the film was packed with action.

The movie delves into relationships on several levels. The main character has flashbacks about his late wife, frequently tries to talk to his sister, and, of course, converses with his cat. He also meets new allies and enemies among the survivors. As the story progresses, these relationships reveal their importance to both the protagonist's journey and the plot itself.

While the second half has plenty of zombies, Apocalypse Z reminds us that even during an apocalypse, there's something more dangerous than the undead lurking around every corner: other survivors. Resources are scarce, and desperate times bring out the worst in some, while others take a dark pleasure in chaos.

The special effects are skillfully done and add to the film's quality. Certain zombies, like the abandoned baby, are especially haunting. Although we're seeing more child zombies in recent films, not every director takes the risk of showing humanity's youngest transformed into such horrific figures.

The ending may not surprise seasoned fans of the genre; it's predictable but leaves on a cliffhanger. It's my hope that a sequel will explore what happens next, turning Apocalypse Z into a saga like 28 Days Later and other notable zombie series.

In sum, if you enjoy classic zombie horror with compelling human relationships, Apocalypse Z is definitely worth a watch.

Apocalypse Z: El principio del fin is a decent movie, but don't expect much. The story is typical. A normal man flawed with the sadness from his past, tries to survive and reach a place which he thinks it's safe.

The acting is good enough, and the special effects are decent. If you love horror genre and zombie movies, it is for you to have some good time.

The movie adds nothing to the genre, all the plots, twists and jumpscare scenes are there, but we don't get anything new. Survival, horror, fall of society and mankind is all we have seen many times before.

As horror is a genre which is not for everyone, this movie is not able to get much attention, and if you're interested in zombie genre, and a newcomer, there are many better alternatives out there.

Spain movie studios have proved themselves with this one; they can perfectly make post-apocalyptic zombie movies just like REC or this one!

It gave me The Last of Us vibes to some extent which allowed me to be on the edge of my seat almost constantly except for the second part of the movie which becomes a bit slow, and they use typical clichés such as X character appearing when you know they are just "disposable", or the protagonist being "miraculously" saved here and there.

However, it's a worth watching movie which leaves the viewers with a cliffhanger so that we eagerly wait for the sequel!

All in all, it's not the best zombie movie out there but accomplishes its task: keep you sitting in front of your TV till the end!

Apocalyptic times will have you surviving the best way you can. A virus spreads fast across the world, creating rabid creatures. A man and his cat look for safe places to hide on sea and on land, as the food is dwindling. This movie is a story of survival by any means necessary. The physical and emotional aspects of this movie grasped me, as I was watching. I cared about the main character and his fight to survive. The tension and infection is rising as the cat starts to feel grumpy. Overall i enjoyed the movie & I am hoping for a part two, sequel, or prequel. Make it happen Hollywood. I love zombie movies.

"Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End" brings an invigorating Spanish flair to the well-worn zombie genre, blending terror with a surprising resilience not only in its human characters but in an endearing feline companion as well. The film is a testament to the indomitable human spirit, capturing survival instincts in a grimly fascinating setting. The cast is superb, with performances that feel both grounded and compelling-no overacting, just pure, authentic grit as characters navigate this grim new world.

At nearly two hours, the film could benefit from a modest trim or, perhaps, a few extra zombie-packed scenes to heighten the tension. Nonetheless, it maintains a fine balance of suspense and emotion, keeping viewers thoroughly entertained. For aficionados of the genre, Apocalypse Z is a delightfully crafted thrill that's sure to satisfy.

I would give it a sound 7 out of 10-an enjoyable entry in the annals of apocalyptic cinema.
