Plague

I had some expectations to this movie as I like zombie and apocalyptic movies. I saw the rating and read the review and I thought to myself that this would be something worth seeing. I was so wrong. I had to create my account here to come and warn other people from watching this. The acting was horrible (except for the main woman actress), story was poor and illogical. I wonder why this movie was even made. There seemed to be some potential to create a decent zombie movie but somehow after 10 minutes it seemed to me that the director just hurried quickly to finish it or just didn't care. The movie just didn't make any sense and it was full of clichés and even they didn't work.

Don't waste your time watching this.

This film is not worth the time to watch it. It starts out really strongly but as it goes on it gets continually more boring. The characters are totally unbelievable, unlikable and how they made it as far as they did is nothing short of a total miracle. I was lead to believe that they've been surviving for a few weeks, so why everyone still screams all the time and are constantly in a state of panic when anything happens is beyond me. It speaks volumes about a movie when the guy they are trying to portray as an asshole who is hardly even in the majority of the movie, comes across as the most relatable guy.

I was also hoping that what I can only describe as "socially awkward dialogue" would die out at some point but it never does. The majority of the conversations would never actually take place in any kind of situation, the man who loves his wife can't seem to take obvious hints that she isn't okay.

The plot seems to have no sense of direction. The almost non existent combat scenes are all too stupid to comprehend, like they literally just thought "oh f**k it, even i'm getting bored now", it feels like it was hastily made. The production quality is sound but everything else is a no go.

In short: Slow movie, annoying characters, little plot but decent production quality. If you want a zombie movie, this isn't the one.

The beginning was interesting. It had suspense, and around the 15 minute mark, something shocking happened that I didn't see coming. However, afterwards...gosh, it was so slow. I know it was low budget movie that was more like 28 Days Later than The Walking Dead, but I was not taken with it.

I didn't have a problem with the actors, but the storyline was not fast moving at all.

They kept locking themselves in the barn at night, but I don't know why they didn't build some ladders so they could climb to the roof to keep safe.

I gave this a 4-star rating. I wouldn't watch this again. You might like it if you like subtle movies about some virus/plague that makes the infected secondary to the personal drama. I like action/adventure, and this was neither.

If zombies and horror are not your idea of a good flick, don't dismiss Plague. For the lovers of the zombie/horror genre there is enough fun, visual creativity and a good story to keep you entertained. For the rest of us, Plague is a drama with interesting characters whose mettle and loyalties are tested as they meet challenges and make choices in order to stay safe and survive a world that is thrown into disarray. The film holds the audience captivated as the characters navigate encounters with zombies and strangers, and share experiences with friends and kin. As they discover themselves but also what lurks beneath the surface of those they thought they knew, we are taken on a tense journey full of surprises. Can they trust anyone and can they even trust their own instincts? Well crafted cinematography of the Australian outback evokes and reinforces the feeling of isolation and despair of the characters and adds another layer of obstacles in their struggle to stay alive. The makers of this film successfully use this backdrop that's too vast, too empty, too distant and where anything can happen. A must see.

Mindless and contrived attempt at an art film. I feel someone needed to challenge the writer/directors drone like artistic process and didn't. It felt like there was a lack of a clear plot and they "winged" it hoping a movie would come out the back end if they stumbled through production. What resulted was a series of random minor plot lines that were pointless and illogical, steering away from what was supposed to be the major plot line,then loosely knitted together. The movie droned on at a steady pace and left you with a yearning for an end or actual plot line. This writer/director seems to be proud of what he's accomplished here, but what he created is an awful and misleading waste of time. Maybe he is proud of creating a film. Any film will do.
