Wasnt a bad zombie flick. It used a lot of clichés of the genre but I mean basically everything has been done to death anyway so you cant really blame them. Acting was top notch, just like always. The two leads did great and the chemistry was there, even if it was more of a brother/sister vibe to me. But you can still feel the love and worry for one another. The way the characters are portrayed is still more realistic, obviously not gonna be 100% realistic, than most other zombie apocalypse films. Not everyone is going to turn into a badass zombie killer. I liked how they portrayed what regular people would probably do. I find Korean cinema to be at its A game for sure. Hollywood needs to catch up. Little slow pacing in the middle but Im sure that was done on purpose to show how slow time is going and how difficult it is to be isolated. Pretty relative to this day and age...thanks China.
Only really issue I had is that it was predicable for two scenes, Im sure if you have seen plenty of zombie movies youll be able to guess what happens. They did a great job when it came to production value and practical FX. The CGI was def lacking and you could tell they didnt have enough money for it. Also the intro/end credits song is pretty cool. Its called Inni - Sail if anyone is interested. Give it a chance, a solid 8/10 for me.

I agree that the production values, visual effects and acting were top notch, but the storyline...well, it was pretty bland. There was nothing about it that we haven't seen before and the ending with the helicopter appearing out of nowehere...come on!
Ultimately I found it uninspiring.

Well the helios were traveling around looking for survivors who posted on social media. So it makes sense that they were around that specific area looking for him. But the timing was def movie magic.
