Yes, it is my opinion, but I don't see anything redeeming about this movie other than the good (for the time) makeup. The whole movie is overacted and the characters are just stupid. Rhodes' soldiers act like a bunch of 5th grade punks. The "research" that was conducted by the team was a joke.
I'm sorry, the best zombie film is Dawn of the Dead 2004, it's not perfect but at least it does a fair amount of things right.
The way the soldiers and scientists acted was not weird at all.
At that point in the Romero timeline, the world had pretty much been consumed by the dead, and while the characters tried to find a solution to the problem, they pretty knew that nothing could be done.
Combine that with the fact that they were forced to stay underground for most of the time. Even the most mentally stable person would get scars from that.
The soldiers had clearly lost it, and instead of breaking down, they tried to see the whole situation as a fun ride.
That is not unrealistic at all. In fact, many people react like this if they are scared/traumatized enough.
You could see that Rhodes himself was breaking down in desperation.
The research was not SUPPOSED to make any sense. That was the whole deal in the movie. The characters were creating an illusion that everything could return back to normal.
Did you not listen to John's speech?
Ha ha, obvious bait topic is obvious.
Look at all the fools that fell for this crap.
I disagree. I thought it was very engaging.

You're right. That is your opinion. Albeit, it is founded poorly.
Tom Savini's effects in Day of the Dead are some of the best practical gore effects ever done. I believe he even won awards for them. Not only that, but Greg Nicotero and Howard Berger both learned how to do special effects on that film, and they are both now two of the biggest effects artists in the industry.
I'm willing to bet that since you think the Dawn of the Dead remake is the best zombie movie that you probably didn't even see Day of the Dead until just recently, and probably only just one viewing. You need to find a better appreciation for the movies that inspire people these days to remake them to begin with.
no it does not
shareI absolutely agree with you, except for Dawn of the Dead 2004. For me the best zombie film ever is The Return of the Living Dead (1985)

Yeah, I loved the whole 'Let's leave the one safe place in the world into which we happened to fall bassackwards so we can go to some theoretical island' development. It's an enjoyable movie, and the first fifteen minutes or so are excellent, but to compare it to Day or the original Dawn...I just can't do it.
shareLeaving the mall was a smart choice. The mall was a death trap. Who knows how much longer they could have survived in there.
It was only a matter of time before food and water ran out, its not like the mall in Dawn 78 which had a grocery store a big one at that. All this one had that we say is a food court. Which means the food there won't last. They even hint at it when Ty Burrell's character complains that they are out of Lemon gin or something to that effect (it's been a while since I watched Dawn 04)
The zombies could break in at any moment, just because they are shatter proof from hitting then doesn't mean the weight of the horde won't eventually make the doors give. It's was just a matter of time before the inevitable happened.
Their biggest mistake was not planning a way out from day 1. They should have been doing that after they took control from C.J.
I still don't see it.
The mall is relatively secure.
And, aside from the lack of "that lemon stuff", I don't remember a lack of food or water having anything to do with their decision; it was a matter of "I don't want to die here," and "waiting to die is worse than death". We can speculate about these matters, but it's not really supported by the film. Yes, eventually food must run out, but we have no way of knowing how long they've got.
The zombies could break in at any moment,Then why don't they? And again, the "shatter-proof" comment is all we've got to go on really. No, I say. If the enormous multitude outside the mall can't get in, I wager that a few hundred more isn't going to dramatically change the situation. Once more, this is not a reason put forth by any of the characters either.
There's a 'This Movie Sucks' or 'Worst Movie Ever' for every single film on this site it seems. I sort of sigh a little and get a wee bit depressed whenever I see it. Pity poor me.
shareDawn remake was my fav, but now that I've seen the original, I like it better.I agree both Dawns were better than this movie.
