The usual bottom-feeding zombie guff, made by the couple of Italians who also did a Nazi-themed sequel, Reich OF THE DEAD. I saw that first and wasn't impressed, but it's still substantially better than this appallingly poor low budget effort that lacks heart and grace.We all know that cheap zombie films are ten a penny these days so they have to really stand out to make an impression. APOCALYPSE Z features some of the poorest zombie actors I can remember seeing; they don't lurch or shamble, they just walk or run around like regular people. A half-decent make-up job is the only saving grace these 'walkers' have.Where the film particularly falls down is in the calibre of the acting. The characters are all over the top and saddled with outrageous mannerisms that makes them feel cartoonish. The plot is virtually non-existent, although I appreciate that the film does have a clean digital feel to it and given the right story and set-up it might have been half decent. Instead, it alternates between being very silly and very dull.

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT RENT, BUY or SEE this movie - ever! Hitting your own head for 80 minutes against a stone wall will enrich your life more than this movie will. I've tried that and I can confirm. After hitting my head against the wall for 80 minutes I felt better and smarter than after watching this movie. If you do watch it, though, try to watch it in 1,5 increased speed. It becomes funnier and more convincing. I am a huge fan of Zombie movies, so I am used to see a lot of bad movies, but usually I am able to find at least something that is good about a movie. This piece of "art" on the other hand was the worst movie I have seen in ages, and I've seen really really bad movies. This one is an abomination. There should be a special warnig label for any movie Uwe Boll is involved. -Spoiler- The worst part of it all was Uwe Boll himself, acting in the role of US- President with the worst German accent I've ever seen in a production in English. Do you know Terry Pratchett Books? When Vampires in his books speak, it is exactly like Uwe Bols English. There is no TH, just a sharp z. Like Ziss is tze worst movie ever. If you thin Arnold Schwarzenegger has a bad accent, Uwe Boll puts that in the corner. The story is non existing, there is a Zombie outbreak in Romania or something close to a nuclear reactor and the plan is to blow the whole region up with a nuclear bomb, making it look like an accident. For that some soldiers of fortune are hired. One big bulgy American guy who is doing the job to get his daughter back(?!?!?), two eastern European numb-nuts who deserve what they are getting in this movie and a female named Eden who is supposed to bes some ninja like Asian über-assassin, but actually does nothing but weird poses with her katana. Then there is the daughter of the scientist who supposedly created this plague. Every character is introduced like that: First encounter with a complete stranger: Hello I am XY and this is my whole life story including very embarrassing personal details so the viewer knows my role in this crapfest of a movie. Nothing fits together inthis film and spending more words on this review is more than this abomination deserves. I hate you Uwe Boll, I really do. You make us Germans look so bad.

It is the first review that I make on IMDb in the 10 years I have been a memberBeing a member of a bad movies club, I was eager to see this movie but man, even if I love bad movies, this one takes the cake. It makes Birdemic looks like an Academy Award winner. The acting is awful, the main guy has as much acting skill than a cardboard. The ninja chick knows as much sword fighting as the chicken in Family Guy. The sniper that took out 300 men from 1 spot gets caught by a dumb zombie. The bomber was OK I guess, I just was expecting all through the movie a line like, Damn it Jim, I'm a bomber not a shooter. The Doctor's daughter was cute, I can't say anything else than that, she didn't stood out even with those actors, that says it all. The American tourist is better at hand to hand than a soldier, wth. The Zombies stands there and growl instead of going toward their preys.As for the accents they didn't made sense, German accent for the POTUS, a daughter of a Scottish man with an American accent. I could had given this movie a lower score but it has a German Sheppard in it and it was the only character in all that movie that I liked and wanted to see live and the Zombie makeup was good.Even if you are in a bad movies club, I could never recommend this flick, watch World War Z instead, that movie is crap too but at least, there is some good acting in it.

General production quality?Originality: 2 out of 10, mostly for the awesome American accents.Acting: 3 out of 10, what's with the awesome American accents?Setting: 0 out of 10. Wait, we're not even in America? But the accents!?Filming: 5 out of 10. Overall production value was relatively high. They actually wasted money on this!Special effects: 4 out of 10. Mostly CGI. The crap directors think they can get away with..Makeup: 7 out of 10. Best part of the film by far.Action: 3 out of 10. Pretty slow action. Entertainment value: 4 out of 10. Overall not the most terrible thing I ever watched.--------------------------Characters?4 out of 10 for the two old mercenaries. Good or bad, they got into their parts.2 out of 10 for the main hero. Dull as sandstone.1 out of 10 for the bad guy. Just.. completely out of place. 0 out of 10 for the sword-bearing-anime-spin-off-wet-dream. This just screams fetish. It was almost insulting (Commander, sniper, bombs expert and.. ninja?).1 out of 10 for the professor's "doe-tah" (in non-American accents, it's pronounced as "daughter").5 out of 10 for the hick. Ya gotta have at least one hick! (best American accent) 1 out of 10 for the hick's mute girlfriend. Lame.. and mute. (no accent)8 out of 10 for the dog. Best actor by far.-------------------- Overall score.. 3.2
