Review of The Girl with All the Gifts (2016) by Jlogx87 — 01 Feb 2023

I lost interest halfway through. The plot makes absolutely no sense, and the science is vague at best. There's no character development at all which makes me feel like I'm wasting my time. The film has no resolution which is unsatisfying. Why is it that almost all zombie movies have no ending or answer as to what caused the apocalypse or how it was resolved? Hopefully the book was better. There are way better zombie movies out there. I'd skip this one.

I wanted to like this one. But they spent way too much time in quiet school-setting talking scenes that had nothing to do with the plot. Zombie movies benefit from quick plot development cut with mind-numbing action. This film just took too long to get there. Also, the genre is saturated with these films, and this is a generic entry in a long list of zombie movies. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. It was...OK.
