Exciting, fun, and moving, this is a top-tier zombie flick, whether the word is used or not.

Influenced by every zombie thriller ever made, but more specifically, by the video game series The Last of Us, Prime Video’s Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End is a competently crafted thriller let down by a lack of ambition.

... Although it does not distance itself significantly from others of the same type, Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End positions itself as a top-level production, determined to start a franchise. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 7/10

A well-acted but familiar zombie thriller that doesn't reach its full potential.

It seems that the Spanish follow through Hollywood style of films.

Subpar acting and bad dubbing on the audio. Turned it off after 10 minutes.

Not a bad attempt at a zombie movie. My biggest issue was the dark filter they used, which was so dark during some scenes, I could barely see anything.

If you dont like Zombie movies, you will hate this. It really doesnt add anything new to the genre and is very formulaic. The main character makes a series of questionable decisions - he owns a boat but sells it the day before the outbreak reaches Spain? Going to a hospital after a zombie outbreak? Throwing away perfectly good weapons and leaving a convenient trail for the bad guys to follow? Having said all that, the acting is reasonable, the special effects are decent and while it is far from groundbreaking it does scratch that itch for some good old zombie mayhem for the zombie afficionados out there!

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Poor stuff. Formulaic, predictable, cliched. Sub-par acting, weak pacing, no knowledge of how to create atmosphere. Amateurish, and not in a good way. Boring.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

This is such a bad movie. Poor acting, lame story, and the ending just let you hanging. You have no idea what happened in the end. I would give it a -10 if I could. Don't waste couple of hours of you life watching this rubbish.
