Another World (2014)

Just so...so bad

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

From Israel, a post-apocalyptic film directed by a newcomer that made in English language. It is a zombie theme, where the four survivours try to seek a safe place to hide out and the truth how it all started. Very poorly made film, it does not even fit in on the B category, maybe Z for zombies.The narrator was totally annoying, the information he gives were very silly. The film lacks the research, I mean you would laugh at it if you are familiar with this kind of films. The only thing I liked was what the armyman revealed at the end, even that is predictable if you a smart enough. But the same scene in the picture was substandard. It was the twist which supposed to save the film, but did not.In the overall film as well, there's nothing new, not even a single scene makes it worth a watch. The only option is to skip it and save your time, or face the same way I had gone through.2/10

There is a new plague in the world and… No, not a zombie plague. I am talking about the running-zombie movie plague – not quite the same. In order to make zombie movies more vicious, daft film-makers made the mindless dummies not just move faster, but sprint like doped up Jamaican 100-meter-dash champs. Sure, unlike most running-zombie flicks at least this movie gives the running zombie an excuse to exist: it was all a military experiment with biochemical warfare – original stuff like that. But it doesn't change the fact that a zombapocalypse with mega-fast rather than slow-and-clumsy zombies sets up an absurdly difficult, insurmountable challenge to the survivors, who don't stand an iota of a chance. It's like organizing gladiator games in which 100 large cats chase down a tired, three-legged mouse: not exactly an exciting, interesting or unpredictable set-up by any means. A million running zombies against four humans? Methinks even the cripple mouse has better odds.Bizarre accents – another hot B-movie topic. AW is an Israeli movie in which nearly all characters speak with a different accent! We've got an American accent (used by the two guys), a German accent (the introspective doctor), even something most closely resembling an Afrikaans accent (used by the crazed bearded guy). Since these people are all survivors from the same city, such a wide array of accents not only makes little sense (though possible in theory) but makes the often ludicrous dialog even more comical than it already is. Just think of "Robot Monster" and the bizarre German accent used by the old geezer and how stupidly it contrasts with the others – especially given the already moronic dialog.The dialog varies from functional ("Get down! Run!") to bizarrely philosophical. The German woman is constantly engaging Baldy in some "meaningful" conversation about the purpose of it all, the meaning of life, and in the least appropriate of situations (in-between clashes with hordes of zombies, for example). Sometimes it's comical, sometimes just downright strange. The long-winded confessional monologue at the end of the movie sounds like that legendary speech from Ed Wood's "Plan 9", especially the part when Baldy says "Don't dare?! Don't Dare???" I half-expected him to start shouting "Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!!!"Yet, the dialog, as dangerously close to edwoodishness as it gets on occasion, is the height of intellectual discourse compared to the daft and pointless narration. A deep, booming, bombastic, theatrical, totally cliché computer-game-type of voice appears out of nowhere every ten minutes or so, offering "insight" into dinosaur extinction! The narrator is clearly more interested in extinct lizards than what the viewer is watching. One of his earlier theories even suggests that rodents were responsible for dino-demise by eating their eggy-weggies: only later does he admit that this theory is totally passe and that an asteroid was the more likely answer to his favourite dilemma. He should have stuck to themes related to zombapocalypses only, since that's not an actual science hence you can talk crap endlessly without sounding like a blithering idiot. It's hard not to chuckle when the deep voice suddenly starts jabbering out of nowhere about some random subject that is somehow intended to clarify man's purpose in the cosmos. Pretty Edwoodian. In fact, it reminds me somewhat of the narration in "The Astounding She-Monster", another wonderful Z-movie made by one of Ed Wood's friends.The four main characters can be clearly divided into more-or-less stereotypes: the young cheerful scientist who doesn't seem too phased about living in a zombapocalypse; the bald, by-the-book, supremely cynical, no-nonsense military guy whose inflexible face expression and lack of humour become slightly comical as time goes on; the German doctor, the movie's unofficial voice of reason and "humanity", spouting wise whenever she finds an opportunity to get a word in edge-wise i.e. whenever the narrator takes a break from his dinosaur-zombie analogies; and finally, the young woman played by a really bad actress, grinning like an imbecile most of the time as if oblivious that she's in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. Her character is by far the dumbest. That actress must have thought she was in a romantic comedy."There is no cure, because I made sure there isn't one!" Why would the military create a virus that had no cure! That makes absolutely no sense at all. There is this naïve, paranoid, mostly fallacious perception tirelessly promoted by the Western Left of the military being some kind of sado-masochistic, fanatical entity that exists isolated from the rest of society, run by deluded sociopaths hell-bent on destroying all life on Earth. If you're a fan of that other infamous Ed – Snowden – chances are you think this way. If "think" is the appropriate word in this context

Heavens above, that was intense. This isn't a 'zombie film'. This isn't even a 'horror film'. This is one of the single most disturbing films we've ever seen - and that's saying something.I can't remember the last time either of us, both seasoned horror fans, sat in the car on the way home blatantly trying not to burst into tears. There wasn't a single point where this 'let up' - the original has a great opening and then lost its way, but this never, ever loses it. There are a couple of moments of perhaps unnecessary gore, but the overall effect is so powerful that you will be unbelievably glad to be walking out of that cinema into broad daylight. Within the first ten minutes I was struggling not to weep, and that's really scared me. This was really scare you. See it at the cinema, on a big screen, before it's too late.

I think all the exciting moment of this movie is in the trailer.. Just see the trailer and forget about watching it.. The minute the movie start, hearing the narrator intro, i feel like giving up watching already. I bear with it watching the next 20 minutes is like a slow mental torture. Only when the infected chasing after those survivors i felt alive again cos i want them all to die so as to end this crap movie. Each time the survivors escape the infected, they will end up in some room and start all those unrelated slow boring talks again and again and again.. There is this guy who waste so much time giving a slow boring tutorial to impress the girl trying to invent some really really 'stupid to the max' steam machine thing. Not sure is he trying to make it explode to blast the infected. Cos when it actually explode in the car park, as far as i can see there is nothing there and even no damage done to the car park. Cos its a really weak explosion. Then he run towards the survivors screaming and shouting he succeeded.. WTF?? Why he must go though so much nonsense? Is he an idiot? Simply just use the gun and shoot at some gas tanks. Then Boom! It will explode. Need to go though all the stupid research just to invent something for such a small explode? Then i really lost my patience,i keep skipping some scene.. Then when i reach the end scene, it makes me burst out laughing. Its actually the 1st scene of the movie where the survivors send off their dead comrade. Really idiotic.
