Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media Exciting, fun, and moving, this is a top-tier zombie flick, whether the word is used or not. Dec 4, 2024 Full Review Rohan Naahar The Indian Express 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. Nov 24, 2024 Full Review Claire Waheed Decider Despite some of its predictability, Apocalypse Z is a fun thriller for all audiences. Nov 12, 2024 Full Review Jorge Loser Espinof ... A solid adaptation of the important novel that gave rise to a trilogy. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine ... 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 Nov 3, 2024 Full Review Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania A well-acted but familiar zombie thriller that doesn't reach its full potential. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Peter M dumb writing. the movie is set “now”, and covid 19 is referenced multiple times. except this new virus is from Russia (of course, can’t be China). both the audience and the writers have gone through an actual pandemic now. so we know how they start out, in the media and how politicians handle it (or not). none of that is ingested and applied to the script. the main protagonist apparently doesn’t use twitter or have any friends that he talks to or texts with. flights are cancelled at the airport and people attack the staff. we’ve literally lived through this in reality. nobody attacked airport staff. nobody pulled out a gun to force their way onto an airplane that wasn’t going to take off anyway. the highways didn’t magically fill with cars in both directions. the government did not have an organized response. troops were not deployed. if you’re going to do a post-covid zombie apocalypse movie in 2024, why wouldn’t you take our new reality as a starting point and create something fresh and different? i realize that it’s trying to stay true to the web fiction and novels it’s based on, but Loureiro started writing those 20 years ago. i simply don’t think it works. i’m only 20 minutes into it and i’m bored. fortunately thanks to reviews i know that it will end on some annoying cliffhanger, so i can set my expectations accordingly. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review Avindu G Running dead is what make the enemy formidable in this Spanish Post apocalyptic movie. New sorts of encounters are brought in and the movie stays off what's been already shown such as the friendly traffic jam scene. Unlike many of it's genre the reaponse of the central character and the flow of events seemed natural and well-paced. Movie sheds light on how relationships change, systems fail and loved ones gets left behind. With hawkeye visuals to bike rider's pov the varied techniques keep things interesting. Great sound effcts. Excellent acting by the cast. And without a doubt fans might want to see how things go now that the Island is fallen too. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review Audience Member This video theme is good Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review Sky L a zombie flick worth a watch. probably would watch a sequel if it comes up. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/17/25 Full Review Audience Member finally some spanish zombie film, and a pretty decent one, Luculo 10/10 and poor Gabriela deserved better Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Pedro Henrique C It's not the best zombie movie ever made, but it has a little charm. The action in this movie is really bad, and the zombies should have a lot more screen time. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
