Some good writing and more in-depth character work than you usually see in a zombie movie but at the end of the day it’s still a zombie movie, with all the bits you see in others – the shock of a little girl trying to kill you, the pain of shooting a former loved one who’s turned, the sudden outbursts in violence, the survival mentality, the reveal of government complicity, the shots to the head, the confusion as to why the government couldn't organise half-effective resistance.
And it’s still got that right wing fantasy thing happening – people able to run around blowing away zombies in the head (everyone here is a very good shot, although it is hard for them to get hold of ammo). It looks impressive and Andrew Lincoln makes an engaging hero. Lots of subplots that aren't resolved at the end.
