Just a collection of my thoughts I posted earlier at NeoMega:
"I finally finished the film, and have torn feelings about it. I liked first half, the idea of infection and feroucious infected, but later half, and ending wasnt that good. Some scenes at the mansion were cool, as Jim turned into Rambo fast runner, but it should have had more gory infected action."
"This film fell victim to low budget. You can try and make the end of the world pic on tiny budget, but its very hard to succede. While the scenes of empty London were great, it still was missing the bodies, ruins and all other signs of major evacuation and devastation. Plus I wanted to see MORE infected. Few we got to see were great and very deadly, but there were just not enough of them, even at the end.
On dvd there are few deleted scenes, one with characters trying to get trough some of the blocked streets to get out of London, and the funniest thing is that while underneath the bridge where scene takes place everything is dead and abandoned, on the top of the bridge, behind the row of burned cars, its London traffic as usual "
"Well, I didnt say it was unbelievable since they did do a great job trying to portrait an abandoned cityscape with a tiny budget, but in the end low budged still hurt the film BIG TIME.
Another thing was where did all the people go? The streets should be flooded by either dead bodies, and hordes of infected(London has poppulation of atleast 5-6 million, and I'm sure they couldnt evacuate all of them in such short time.
Plus, to have the infection only in England is comewhat a copout, since they mention that when it started, the infection spread to other countries, but at the end its like it was only in England.
I liked most of it, but the ending was little too happy.
