I wasn't going to review this but the I felt compelled. The zombie aspect is wacko! You have crawling, running, par cour, slow, sleeping, Alien and your typical " walkers", all in one movie. The Titled flashbacks were interesting but wth happened? Did the directors disagree on what premise they're taking? Who thought just random bad CGI smoke and blood was how action is done and what's w the guns from ALIEN. The acting? Well it's " acting " and most of the time ? Bad. Everybody wants to be TWD. Now b4 you totally decide not to watch, there are some redeeming qualities. The plot could be good w a little more organization. The concepts are not bad. The virus spread by one person, Alien connection to a virus, entourage not what they seem, the government corporate conspiracy.All good ideas but not all in one film. So that's why the 2, I've seen worse so enjoy? Nah not going that far....

It tries way too hard in all directions
No one in control, so movie type changes constantly
My quick rating 2,6/10. This is what happens when you really don't know what type of movie you want to make. The story, I suppose, is about a secret experiment developed in a bio chemical company, aptly named biochem. Of course there are ulterior motives, and not to spoil it, the plan is to wipe out humanity. That is kind of told in the beginning anyway. So the movie, horrible acting, and I mean horrible. So the idea is in place, but as you watch, you can see the director just saying, ok, wait, how about a zombie movie...so now it is a zombie movie, but then a little while later, the director passes over the bong after a few hits, and decides there has to be aliens. So now it is sci fi as well, but why not throw in some ridiculous blood splatter...don't have the money? Just use adobe premiere and throw fake blood around. No one will notice how stupid it looks. The laundry list of problems with this movie can go on and on. A faster review-don't waste your time.
waste of time
This movie tries to be too many genres at once but fails each. It is not a good action movie because all weapons look like plastic toys and actors do not even pretend that things have some real weight. And everytime they 'shoot' it is just animated effect, I guess budget could not cover even a gun shooting blanks. It tries to be also zombie horror movie, but the zombies are mix of all types, like it was borrowed from all other movies - fast, slow, 'deaf' - it is a low budget version of "I am Legend" movie. Tries to be sci-fi, but it does not spend enough screen time on the subject, so it comes out as random twist, and of course the low budget CGI can't compete with 2018 movies. The 2 stars are for makeups, which were believable.
