 Definitely not the best batch, but it's all right Hey guys, so this is my review for a film called pandemic now. Some of you might be wondering what that movie is I don't know if it's playing the states for you, but I know it's on the internet Anyway, this was a film that had a bit of a bit of attention from a trailer that they released last year it's a first-person point of view film about a team of soldiers and scientists going into LA to find survivors and also They actually the funny thing is there haven't really it's not about finding a cure Because this virus is like sort of a mix of the rage virus zombie virus epidemic stuff. I'm a sucker for films about Diseases and quarantines and whatnot and I've I've always been kind of under let down in movies at least books There's a bunch of cool books about it however with movies I kind of get a little bit let down because usually a lot of these suffer from dumb scientist syndrome because Well, for instance in Prometheus remember when they land on the planet and they go inside the ship and they find an area was like oh, hey It's breathable air. Let's take off my helmets. I don't care if you've got breathable air. You're a scientist. That's dumb That's really dumb for this film. It's commendable. It tries but the thing that's very much holding it back It's it's near non-existent budget and it shows like the suits itself I'm amazed they were able to get a camera that could fit in there for the budgetary means because it's not a Wide-angle lens like a wide enough lens that you would normally see in this sort of situation Also the suits. Okay. She's got a helmet on right what's on the back. It's all mesh But you can see through it. I guess it's not okay the in the film the virus isn't airborne Supposedly there's actually not a lot of information about the virus Which I didn't mind but I would have liked a little bit more about where it started out What's going on with the world? So in the end the film itself was It's pitch-patch because there's a lot of moments in the film that are actually really stupid like dumb But there's also moments that are actually quite creative and I was like, you know what? I actually was kind of surprised with that the film at the beginning though It starts off like a video game tutorial because the guy From CSI. He's telling the main character. All right. Let's step into this room and Put it like make sure the suit is sealed and turn left turn right up down Little flashlight on night vision all that crap. The thing is though. I found so funny is okay We're gonna check and see if your suits pressurized yet He gets behind a steel fence like on a door not a secure door great like holes That completely breaks the point of checking to see if the suit is seal proof So the film itself it's it's got some decent action for its budget And it's got a bunch of cool action scenes like the very beginning like within when they enter Into Los Angeles right off the bat. There's a bunch of people there Holy crap actually that was kind of it was it's humorous a little bit It's like wow right off the bat like bang bang bang shooting a bunch of zombies or whatever they are Half of them are zombies half of them are just crazy people There's a few moments of cannibalism and there's all these different factors of who's infected with what and they it's It's kind of like multi verse Virus stuff. I don't know. It's a little bit odd But as for the characters themselves the characters are actually not too bad because they're portrayed by an actually decent cast We got the girl from continuum. We've got that black guy who was Eminem's buddy in eight mile We've got the dickhead son from John Wick who he doesn't actually he's probably one of my favorite characters in this film And then we've got that creepy lady who is Creeping on Ben Affleck and gone girl Obviously we've seen so many of these types of movies that a lot of things don't really surprise you However, there is one moment in the middle that kind of surprised me and I was You know that that's pretty good The film does move a little slow and sometimes and it did kind of draw away my attention and while the action scenes are cool There are moments where all the zombies or whatever they are the infected are suffering from Assassin's Creed combat syndrome where they're attacking you one at a time And you kill you kill you kill you also as I said the lens itself is not a wide enough angle At least for what they're wanting because a lot of the fight scenes are disjarring now That's obvious a thing for a film like this. However, there's moments where stuff people disappear out of nowhere That or it's editing with the editing is very it's very thematic. It's trying to scare you That's another thing too. There's a lot of moments where music will just chime in which is a little bit silly Because when I watch a first-person point-of-view film, I'm not expecting a soundtrack now You may think I'm weird with this but night shalom shalom last year did it perfectly with a visit Silence can be horrifying if done, right? And that's something that this film could have used because there's a bunch of parts where music is put in And I was like you didn't need that you didn't the film was already doing a decent enough job with the visuals We don't need audio to get scarier. So while the film is a little bit pitch-patch and the budget could have definitely done With a little bit more money. I still think the film is commendable. I'm For people who are fans of pandemic our quarantine or zombie movies. You'll definitely enjoy this I did enjoy parts of it. I didn't enjoy the ending too much But I still thought that I released the Best half way I was I was entertained so in the end. I'm gonna give this film a three out of seven It's all right. It does what it's best with what it has and People who like zombie quarantine movies will definitely probably enjoy this. It's also a great Build-up for hardcore Henry would come down or hardcore Harry. I'm sorry if I got that wrong, but Yeah, I'm I'm stoked for that movie now So anyway guys, hope you enjoyed this review. See you later
