Topic: Z Nation

Z Nation

http://i.imgur.com/Fqy5tYx.jpg

This show is set three years after the zombie virus has gutted the country, and a team of everyday heroes must transport the only known survivor of the plague from New York to California, where the last functioning viral lab waits for his blood. Although the antibodies he carries are the world's last, best hope for a vaccine, he hides a dark secret that threatens them all. With humankind's survival at stake, the ragtag band embarks on a journey of survival across three thousand miles of rusted-out post-apocalyptic America.

Looks more like a production from Asylum Films XD

Re: Z Nation

This looks entertaining. But surely, society would not have fallen down that much by itself in only three years. Unless there was a war too that they did not mention? Structures of stone and metal will stand for a very long time. Even woodhouses will stand for decades without collapsing, they will just very slowly decay. And this is in my scandinavian rough climate where weather really wears on buildings and cars. In some parts of America cars do not even rust because of the climate, if i remember right? The parts where it mostly is hot and dry.

The most that would happen in three years is uncontrolled growth of plantlife like grass and hedges.

Re: Z Nation

I wasn't impressed by the pilot, long time since I have dropped a new show after its pilot.
Maybe if I hear it has picked up I might check it out again next break

Re: Z Nation

is this a comedy or serious horror/zombie tv show? Whatever it fits under it failed to entertain. I'll give it a few more episodes, even if only to see more zombies.

Re: Z Nation

Not in the same league as TWD by a long shot but since it's about zombies i give it some more eps.

The short answer is:

No.




The long answer is:

Hell no.

Re: Z Nation

amateur-grade shit show. I'm not giving this another episode. I'm furious for wasting another 40 minutes on this. The acting, corny dialogue, script -- all unbelievably crap

Re: Z Nation

It's from Asylum so unless you don't know Asylum stuff, there is not much surprise on the low quality side. smile

Re: Z Nation

I just want to know why the dog zombie started essentially stalking him, running and hiding waiting for the chance to pounce and flat out showing high level intelligent thought and planning (for a dead dog) while human zombies become mindless and put no thought into their "attack", they just go straight for you with no ability to plan an attack.....

Re: Z Nation

I don't normally enjoy these low budget shows but as long as I try not to take the show too seriously and maybe from time to time skim over the bits of filler, its not that bad.

Some moments do however give me the "are you serious" feeling,

▼Spoiler

like the girl who uses her club to halt that lame exposed spinning wheel that's controlling the pressure for the entire factory, she is about to get into the car when an explosions sends the club back to her. Also they didn't need to plug the wheel in with anything they could have knocked off that lose rubber band spinning the wheel.

But its ok, I'm reminding myself not to take it too seriously.. I need to stop over thinking this.

I'm not sure what it is but I really don't like the actor who's immune. Maybe he's meant to be an unlikeable but why give the most important role to an unlikeable character? He cant be killed off, since he's the one keeping them all together and pushing the main story forward. Maybe they wanted someone to create conflict within the group? I cant figure it out.

Re: Z Nation

I'm really enjoying this so far, it's silly but fun. It might be amatuer, but I like the low budget feel and frankly I've seen far worse 'professiona'l tv/movies than this.

(I'm actually enjoying this more than Gotham)

Re: Z Nation

Even tho Z Nation is the hillbilly, redneck, low budget version of The Walking Dead, i like some of their ideas like:

▼Spoiler

-That new turned Zombies can run faster
-that zombies get more attrackted to higher pitched noises
-that there are also bigger end boss like zombies
-that zombies fly in the air coz of a hurricane wtf wink
-that the guy with the cure slowly turns into a zombie?
