- Sensibility: Unfortunately, this film is littered with moments that require an unfathomable ability to suspend disbelief: in particular, the behavior of a zombified father, a shockingly mobile
wounded person, a decision to shut off power to a city, and a laughable moment in a helicopter.
- Cinematography: The film has a few memorable shots, but lighting issues take away from a huge part of the end of the film. Also, some poor dream sequences and very repetitive and derivative music
detract from the experience. Costuming and production design are unmemorable but not erroneous.
- Energy: It's a good watch propelled by an interesting concept but is let down by regular interruptions of disbelief at the nonsense sprinkled throughout the film.
- Narrative: The film forces too many dramatic moments at the cost of reason. The constant recurrence of the father is not only far-fetched but also unnecessary. The very poor marksmanship
from trained gun-men is also annoying. However, the concept of a selective immunity is interesting, even if executed in a cliche way. Last, and maybe worst of all, a cliffhanger ending that doesn't fit with the
rest of the film and is a tawdy attempt to force a sequel which turns out to ignore this ending entirely.
- T-Points: The film received one bonus point for the choice to shoot civilians given the crisis.
Such a disappointing follow-up to probably the best zombie film ever made. It had a lot to live up to and fell way short.
