GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Rob_Taylor So, the acting isn't that great, but it is competent enough for the most part. The budget was probably minuscule and they made do without all the flashy effects and gore that seem so prevalent in what passes for horror movies these days.What you get for your time is a character study. Josh, Penelope and Abira are a simple group of survivors just trying to stay alive. The plot doesn't get any more complicated than that. Yet despite this simplistic plot, the story remains interesting throughout.Admittedly, the ending was rather inevitable, but it was still entertaining nonetheless.If you're looking for The Walking Dead, or something similar to Romero's movies, you'll be disappointed. Lower your expectations and just enjoy it for what it tries, and succeeds, to be - a small tale set against a larger backdrop.EDIT: So, this movie has been re-titled Battle Apocalypse (which is a really lame title, to be honest) and given a DVD release. The new artwork with its nuclear explosion is terribly misleading and the tag-line "The Winner Gets Life" suggests some sort of combat-related competition. Nothing could be further from the reality of this film and it is disappointing to see them trying such a marketing tactic just to sell a few lousy DVDs.SUMMARY: Worth a watch if you're tired of 'save the world' heroes doing impossible things and surviving impossible odds. A small tale that doesn't try to overreach itself and does well as a result.
jkurstin22 This movie is enjoyable beginning to end. One of the reviewers complained that it's low budget, and it is, so don't expect a $200 million blockbuster. It's beautifully shot, well written and acted, suspenseful without being too gory, and you actually learn and care about the characters.I watched Chrysalis for the first time in a movie theater, and I could feel and hear the entire audience reacting to the scares and emotional moments. The character development is real, and one of the things that makes this movie stand out.If you're looking for a post-apocalypse movie that actually feels post- apocalypse, and characters who talk to each other instead of just screaming and running all the time, then you should watch Chrysalis. If you want to watch World War Z, then go watch World War Z.
David-q Hey all, Just a quick review here to say, WOW, what an intriguing movie. I seen the review score prior to watching this movie, which did throw me off a bit and as a result I was quite sceptical before watching. However, I have just finished watching this movie and I must say, it is well worth a watch! No 'AAA' Hollywood budget here but credit where credit is due, this movie is worth a watch and more! If you are looking for suspense, horror, intrigue and a well directed script this is the movie for you In my opinion this is definitely a 7.7/10!!!! A severely underrated movie, ignore the low scores give it a view, you will not be disappointed!
danielpope75 I really wanted this movie to redeem itself but it became increasingly worst as it went on. Here are the weak points. The plot is poor and predictable, the acting is substandard and the score is just god awful. It is probably the only one zombie movie where I found myself cheering for the zombies. I kept asking myself "how the hell did you lot survive this long?" Eventually, I realised that I was the biggest loser in all this as I had lost 100 minutes of my life that I could never regain. It may have been a very good 6th form project, but it really should never hit the big screen. My tip is to only watch this movie when you are high, at least then you can blame it on the weed.
