I also didn't like how there weren't consistent rules for these zombies, namely in infection time. I don't mind a tonal shift, and we need death in a zombie film, but some of them just went a little overboard in my opinion. Obviously there's a lot of death, and while this is to be expected, it can get so upsettingly depressing in some of the deaths. It's not a perfect film by any means though, but my problems aren't dealbreakers, more nitpicks. After things hit the fan though, it really goes full tilt horror-action, with some scenes that can be outrageous but are so much fun and so pulse-pounding in their intensity they get a pass from me. Some of the best moments are the slow escalation at the beginning, before anyone realizes what's happening.
What we've seen popularized a lot lately is the post-apocalyptic stories, especially with zombies, so I kind of miss these outbreak day stories. But here's the thing: I really like both of those films! And honestly, I like this one even more. There's the forward momentum on the train of Snowpiercer, and the zombies move in the fast piling horde fashion that we saw in World War Z. It's gotten a lot of comparisons to Snowpiercer and World War Z, and yeah, if you mashed those two together you'd probably get a pretty similar film. Does that mean it's unique in it's vision and style? Not necessarily. Now does that mean it's the best zombie movie of all time? Probably not. Right off the bat I'm just going to say this may be the most enjoyable modern zombie movie I've seen.
