Movie Review: Zombieland

Zombieland is a fictitious story where a virus was spread in the United States turning every human into zombies. It stars Jesse Eisenberg as a college kid, Columbus,  who didn’t get infected because of his phobia with everything. As he tries to get back to his hometown to see if his parents are still alive, he meets three other survivors, Tallahassee (played by Woody Harrelson) a gun-toting thrill seeker who hates zombies and sisters Wichita and Little Rock (played by Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin).  Together, they journeyed across United States trying to enjoy what’s remaining of the country while trying to fend off zombies who are after them.

The premise of this movie – humans turn into flesh eating zombies – is too familiar (i.e. 28 Days later, Resident Evil). But the movie has a twist – it’s a comedy rather than the usual thriller – sci-fi – gory genre.  The actors played their roles pretty well.  You will surely laugh even though on the scenes where the characters would slaughter the zombies. And would make you wonder if what they did was possible (i.e. Woody Harrelson character inside a carnival booth warding off at least 50 or so zombies and killing all). But I should say that the movie got my attention alright and had just enough laughs to make you want to stay on your sit and watch the entire movie.
