Im really impressed with the scale of the show and the intensity of the action scenes. It has a lot of the same themes and ideas as the typical zombie production but it uses them in more clever ways, especially with the high school setting. I think the Squid Game comparisons people are making are unfair, but on its own its a really fun show. Glad to hear! Only watched the first episode. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,299 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Popped the new 4K blu-ray of Dune that I bought in my PS5 to test out the home theater. Dayum, that's an experience. I have to say that the sound is better than the visuals, because Denis Villenueve's sci-fi movies that involved futuristic spacecraft doesn't look as realistic as it should. I think the designs that were in Nolan's Interstellar, and also the flying bat design in Dark Knight Returns looks more realistic and more visually exciting. The only time the audio actually "scared" me was because I was so enthralled in the scene in which the mother and son are hiding in the tent, and the music is swelling as they are having an intense moment, and then Paul just snaps at his mom and yells powerfully, and I was startled by the audio. Damn good movie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,299 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Watched the recent Suicide Squad movie. Its pretty alright. Definitely had a much, MUCH better second half and final battle than the first Suicide Squad movie. I'm gonna say that the first major shootout on the streets of New York in the first movie was still more action-packed, and I liked it quite a bit. But this movie gets really crazy and icky at the end, which fits its style. The secondary characters are much more likable. I think things unfold throughout the movie a little too easy. Like, it wasn't very difficult for them to get where they wanted to go, or get out of sticky situations. Using this as the basis to get into the Peacemaker tv show next.

Twinblade★ 3,991 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Finished All of Us are Dead. I was thoroughly impressed by how epic and ambitious it ended up being, even if it doesn't always nail many of its sub plots that happen away from the central school setting. However, that setting and the cast of students that find themselves struggling for survival within the school's many rooms and corridors is the highlight. The action scenes are well choreographed, intense, and boosted by great practical effects/makeup (even if the CGI bits leave something to be desired) and In general the show was just consistently engaging all the way through. Definitely Korea's best Zombie production since Train To Busan. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think episode 3 was the turning point. Oh.. Spoiler Do they answer the question as to why some of the infected keep their consciousness? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That was one of my favorite action scenes The actors really do a great job in those fast paced moments As for your question Spoiler They're basically asymptomatic, and I guess their version of the virus doesn't manage to reach their brains. The show doesn't really try to explain it too deeply though, which is probably for the better. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think her shyness and lack of self confidence is pretty charming, and I’d like to see a plot line where she and fezzco start dating, and as a result of that she becomes more open and comfortable with herself.

-GD-X★ 7,822 Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 I finished All Of Us Are Dead. I really enjoyed it. The last minute was a bit weird, but I guess it provided an opening for a potential season 2, even though the story felt pretty complete. I was very impressed with most of the production, especially considering the scale and elaborate action choreography in many parts. The main students sucked, at first, but then developed into likable characters. The series was 12 episodes long. While I wasn’t bored, I feel like the pacing would have greatly improved, without sacrificing character depth, if it had been chopped down to 8-10 eps. Overall, I recommend this to any zombie fan. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good summary. I think some of the sub plots could have been trimmed down Spoiler like the stuff with the assemblywoman and the cops. Those stories felt like a means to an end, and didn't have much in the way of satisfying conclusions. Everything involving the dad was really enjoyable though especially when his storyline finally converges with the High schoolers towards the end. edit: by the way not sure if you noticed, but the crazy chick was in Squid Game. She must have gotten some work done because she looks very different in All of Us Are Dead 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,822 Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 finished The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window. the last 2 episodes were batshit crazy, and way funnier than the earlier ones. they definitely reminded me of classic zucker brothers. a few of my exes loved those dumb lifetime thrillers, so i enjoyed this parody series (especially the end). however, to those unfamiliar with the source material being spoofed, i can't recommend it.
