This is the first movie that I ever watched spoken entirely in British accent ! This shows how popular British movies are :) Anyway, in short, this science fiction movie was set in the late 90s whereby there was a deadly virus affecting human mankind with no known cure. Sounds familiar ? So what are the differences between the previous "plot alike" movies like "I am Legend" and "28 weeks later" ?
Well, to begin with, I think the lead actress Rhona Mitra looks great with her moves and style. The film approaches differently from the rest by isolating the virus infested Scotland that indirectly stopping the virus from spreading.
Upon discovering survivals from satellite images within virus infested Scotland, the British government decided to send a team of special forces into the isolated area in hope for a search of a cure to the deadly "Reaper virus". Thus, the journey begin with entering into the isolated Scotland after 30+ years and as usual, they faced tons of endless "creatures" running at them.
However, this show proves to be a little different from the rest, there are a lot of hand-to-hand battle and car-chasing scenes unlike the usual gun and bomb explosion type of killings. After 30+ years in isolation, Scotland has transformed "backwards" into the early days of civilization whereby you will you treated with quite a fair bit of castles, knights, arrows, shields and gladiators style of competition.
Ofcourse, the film do intend to challenge the viewer's memory and sense of humor. An APC (Armor Personnel Carrier) designed with 2 inch armor plate to handle 30mm rounds to chemical weapons attack, however, the windscreen is easily broken by a homemade bottle filled with gasonline and fire :) I would have sack the design engineer repsonsible for HF design.
Watch this movie with an open mind and you will be surprised with the outcome. Enjoy..........
