Amazon.co.uk Review
If there's been a zombie apocalypse and you're road-tripping alone though the wasteland, you could do worse than run into Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a bourbon-swilling bad-boy butt-kicker with a really cool car. This is where the careful hero of Zombieland, a kid nicknamed Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), finds himself early in the film, and you can hardly blame him for hitching a ride with this swaggering Alpha Male. Still, they have their hands full not only with gibbering zombies but also with two sisters (Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin) who will stop at nothing to reach a Disneyland-like amusement park in L.A. Although Zombieland gets off to a rocky start with Columbus's overly-cute narration (he's got a list of rules for surviving in the zombie world), it settles into an amusing comedy, regularly interrupted by bouts of blood-letting. The road-trip stuff is enough fun that when the movie does arrive at its version of Disneyland, the air goes out of it a little; sure, there's a giant zombie blowout, with entrails flying, but it's not quite the same. Director Ruben Fleischer keeps the gags coming, although the movie is often funnier in its odd little asides (both Eisenberg and Harrelson are expert at this) than in its official jokes. Comic high point: an interlude at the home of a very famous movie star, who plays himself--and we'll leave the spoiler unspoiled, in case anybody hasn't heard about this funny extended cameo. --Robert Horton

This review is from: Zombieland [Blu-ray] [2010][Region Free] (Blu-ray)
Zombieland for me was a lot of fun and as much a breath of fresh air to the genre that Shaun of the Dead was.Rather than the standard zombie horror fest that tries to mimic the classic Romero films, Zombieland is more of a tribute to the video game culture and the classic cliche moments in movies when a character obliviously gets into a car while we know he is going to be set upon by a waiting zombie. These moments are highlighted throughout the film with on screen messages reminisent to a video game, none more so amusing as when Woody Harrelson is running around trying to create the best zombie kill of the week which involves selecting his weapons of choice and then deliberately goading the zombie horde into attacking him. In terms of pace the film has some very intense moments and then periods of calm as we get to know the characters, both litered with humourous moments - to me it's more similar to films like Superbad and Rolemodels than it is to Night of the living dead, so anyone who can appreciate that level of humour along with some gruesome moments will enjoy this film. Overall an enjoyable movie with great characters, look forward to seeing them in a sequel.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I Absolutely love this film! On every level it's great! If you want laughs, guns, zombies and great cinematography you can't beat it!It has the best opening to any film I've seen in a while and the script is sharp and tight, and most importantly - laugh out loud, side splitting, piss your pants funny! The stunts and action are great, it's well directed, the score is excellent and it makes great use of sets and scenery. Visually, the film is a treat and excites the eyes. Also the jokes and characters are hilarious and very, very likeable. The acting's great, with an awesome cameo from Bill Murray, and Jesse Eisenberg does a very good job in the lead role - watch out Michael Cero, this guy does you - but even bette Harrelson is on top form and honestly, I loved everything about it. I enjoyed this film so much I can't wait to watch it again. A real feel good movie that I was surprised to find I loved. I thoroughly recommend it for a fun night in front of the goggle-box. The Blu Ray copy I had looked amazing quality too (let's be honest, the format and transfers can be a bit hit and miss), this is one Blu Ray that looks and plays as Blu Rays should. Overall - for me - this gets an easy 9... maybe even 10/10. Great fun and visually pleasing. If you found this review helpful, please give it the thumbs up - and if not, comment on why so I can do a better job for you next time. Thanks :-)

This review is from: Zombieland [Blu-ray] [2010][Region Free] (Blu-ray)
The picture quality is just brilliant but the audio track surprisingly doesn't make good use of the surrounds in a 5.1 set up-shame!!.,you get more from dts on a dvd.I find bd true HD audio tracks just sound like 'bog-standard' DD tracks you'd find on any dvd.You have to check the surrounds are turned on,the track is so lame!If you're an 'extras' freak then you will love this release.,just everything's here-the use of the bd tech. is superior,benchmark material. A very much after'thought,you get no dvd with this release-would suit this movie.
