FEAR THE WALKING DEAD: Slower but I like it

Fear the Walking Dead reminds me of the recent Zombie Apocalypse 2015 movie "Maggie" Staring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a Dad trying to save his daughter from turning after she is bitten by a Zombie. Yes the show is slower but much deeper in thinking then "The Walking Dead". It's a whole different look. To me this takes me back when we where actually afraid of Zombies. The Walking Dead does not scare me that much but I love the story. Fear gives me that fear back and I will continue to watch as long as it is on.

I think the audience is to entrenched into the thinking about hordes of zombies and you have to run and shoot. But when your watching a zombie movie, do you ever ask yourself what is the story of that family that is running and trying to survive? Like Walking Dead,  Fear the Walking Dead does that but goes deeper. I am not sure how many seasons they can keep this going, but I like watching civilization self destruct and fall apart step by step.

The only fault I have with the show is I think the contagion is moving a bit slow, but what do I know maybe that is what happened before mutation of the virus. I just wish critics would step back and think about the bigger picture and think like adults instead of saying it's to slow.

WHAT I LIKED

There was a lot that I did like. Yes the movie kind did have that re-boot feel to it, it was still a worthy sequel and a great addition to the movie franchise. I like the way the explained the T-800 aging to Arnold Schwarzenegger story line, and Emilia Clark was a great fit for Sarah Connor. I like the way they changed the whole time line and still have it part of the whole story, Very creative story writing.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: POSSIBLE SPOILER

I would have like to see more of Matt Smith in the movie, he had a very strong part but not enough of him. I was kind of sad the made John Connor a bad guy, I really like the ideal of him being the leader of the leader of the human resistance, I would have like to seen his character end with a bit more respect and honor.

Movie was rated a PG-13, This was a strong rating, it could have been a R, but rating was well deserved.

I gave this movie a 9 out of 10 star rating on the IMDb movie scale rating.

I will be buying the Blue Ray when it comes out, and I am very happy I was able to see it on the big screen 

MOVIE REVIEW: Maggie (2015)

RELEASE DATE: May 8 2015

DIRECTOR: Henry Hobson

STARS

Arnold Schwarzenegger as Wade Vogle

Abigail Breslin as Maggie Vogle

Joely Richardson as Caroline

IMDB SYNOPSIS: A teenage girl in the Midwest becomes infected by an outbreak of a disease that slowly turns the infected into cannibalistic zombies. During her transformation, her loving father stays by her side.


WHAT I LIKED


This was a very different look at the Zombie Apocalypse. In a way somewhat a timeless look at what happened when the contagion started to mutate,because you still had civil law enforcement, there was still a government, a look for a cure as if it had not reached full civil discourse. You was not sure how long ago the out break had been going on. It seemed to me that there was still some normalcy going on in the world, But then again this was not so much about the Zombie Apocalypse as it was a fathers love for his daughter and watching her die, but yet still holding out hope for a cure.This movie was just great story that happened somewhere during the Apocalypse


WHAT I DID NOT LIKE


Seeing on of my favorite actors Arnold Schwarzenegger playing a helpless father, I just felt bad for him, it was uncomfortable watching him suffer like that, but in this situation it was needed to tell the story and he delivered as he always does, but as a father he broke my heart, but I am use to seeing in Arnold in full armor and lets go kick some ass mode. This was just different for me. But I am going to seek out other movies of him that I have not seen yet


Movie was rated PG-13, and it was a fair rating, If your family is into drama and zombies, this is a good movie to watch, very little gore, but there was one intense scene when Maggie has a accident on the swing set and a intense animal animal scene that may not be good for younger kids.


FOUR STAR RATING: 3


I did buy the Blue Ray, It's a keeper
