Quarantine 2: Terminal

As you can guess from the name, it's not a remake of [rec]2. It's an interesting concept, and I liked the idea of a plane zombie movie. Too bad the claustrophobic atmosphere pretty much ends with the landing of the airplane. After that, well, it remains a pretty standard zombie flick, no innovations if you don't count that the night vision in this one is black and white instead of green. Oh and I always like super fat zombies, those are seriously nasty!

Despite being a complete departure from what made Quarantine an enjoyable film, Quarantine 2: The Terminal is definitely worth your time, especially if you can get into the story. It's a well-made horror film about a killer virus with none of the shaky-cam that can instantly turn off some audience members. For something made on the quick and cheap, this is a surprisingly enjoyable film with memorable characters and enough scares to keep you thrilled.

Surprisingly enough, it's not horrible? I wasn't expecting much and a lot of stuff in this movie doesn't make sense, but the plot moves along at a nice pace and it doesn't really ever get boring. My biggest annoyance was the way some characters were such cardboard cutouts for a certain kind of a character trope, but I guess that just happens a lot in horror and survival movies. Fast zombies are freakier than slow zombies, I'm just saying. Also... those cat sounds? Oh no!

i'm not sure if there's an ounce of originality left in the whole sub genre, while that may be the case this sub genre is still not a tired one and they can still pump out more of the same while retaining viewers, myself included. that basically sums up this movie, not original, not bad.

When some of your main characters include a Justin Bieber-ish asshole kid and a vegetable in a wheelchair, you know your movie is going places.

Shitty sequel to an adaptation of a film that has a sequel that is much better than this one. Bonus for the fat zombie jump.

Would not watch again.

Not REC2! Not even using the "personal footage" concept. It's a very straight-to-dvd kind of movie, in both look and feel. Let's pretend that it cannot be be connected to the REC franchise in any way.

Better than I was expecting from a non found footage sequel to a found footage movie that in itself was a surprisingly good remake. Has a alot of good concepts but it eventually kind of devolves into the same odl thing. Also over explains what was happening in the first film.

It starts off great but steadily goes downhill once they get off the plane. The low point is the last third or so, when a character monologues about the origin of the disease (it's very cliche and unnecessary). A lot of questionable/stupid character decisions and motivations. Protagonist is likable, though.

I don't set the bar high for horror sequels, but I have to say I was pretty damn impressed by this one. Following loyally in the footsteps of the its predecessor, the film is tense, taut and holds your attention. While some of the plot twists are easily guessable, the claustrophobic atmosphere and the all too real terror overwhelms any sense of the usual disconnect B-horror proudly espouses. This is how you do a horror sequel right.

watchable

Good on John Pogue for not going for another shot-by-shot remake, and this even started out quite nicely. The sequence aboard the plane then malfunctions by introducing a bunch of unlikely coincidences, and then it literally and figuratively lands for a completely standard 2nd and 3rd acts with a corny eco-terrorism premise.

Meh....there's really only one good kill, and that comes near the end. Let's just say it involves a huge wrench. As for the rest of the film, I give it some credit for trying to tie it into the original, but it was just too different. They could have called it "Zombie Plane Film" and no one would be the wiser.

It has an original take, zombies on a plane. It's an average movie, but if you like zombie flicks this is worth a watch.

Why? Just let Rec do this thing, okay Quarantine?
