Plot:
Zombies have taken over the world and those left alive are confined to a walled-in city that keeps out the corpse corps. As anarchy rules the streets, a group of scavengers must thwart an attempt to o...( read more

As far as zombie movies go, this had potential. But a crappy production style (this was a typical Toronto "industry" shoot) sinks it fast. The city scenes were wee todd ed. The DoP should turn in his union card. Dennis Hopper should not be allowed to be in films anymore. The rest of the cast was mildly tolerable. Zombie fans only. (How is it that we live in a world that has 28 Days Later, but we have so much trouble making a decent zombie flick?)
I was hoping it would have been a little more like the "Dawn" re envisioning... Sorry George, as brilliant as your movies are, zombies that can learn is just stupid. I like my zombies brainless, wandering, and relentless. Why would they go from living thinking humans to dead wandering corpses to slightly more intelligent wandering corpses? I like Max Brook's explanations better.
I went in to this movie expecting the worst and couldn't have been more wrong. Romero did a good job keeping to what he does best- zombie and social commentary. The special effects and gore were really good and "Dead Reckoning" doesn't look as much like a DAWN OF THE DEAD (remake) parking shuttle, as it does in the trailers. I did feel that they introduced "Big Daddy" way to early in the film and overused him. I would have enjoyed the movie more if he was just another zombie. Cameo's by Simon Pegg, Tom Savini, and Edgar Wright were barely noticeable. I would have liked to see more "daytime" scenes but I don't think that is what Romero had in mind. Overall, it was a fun movie that had a few sudden scares and some good humor.
Why does this movie get trashed so much? I thought Romero made an awesome film (with a decent budget, for once), full of awesome zombie violence and a decent story. It even has some well-known stars and some good performances. No complaints here.
A couple of elements in this film make it better than Romero's previous three. Plenty of zombie movies start out at the beginning of the outbreak and never really show you how humans try to survive after it. Decent acting, although Hopper goes over the top sometimes. Some of the zombies look CGI'd, and who doesn't love the easter egg of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright in the bar.
