The greatest movie ever made..!
Load of rubbish!!
Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

But its got a different slant on the genre, in that the story is about parents trying to look out for their child. The setting in Australia gives the opportunity to look at new angles on the genre - how aborigines would cope in a zombie apocalypse. There are some nice touches - the zombies are different to what we've seen before, and I like the idea of a government issue zombie pack. This is a well thought through zombie movie, which is well executed. Worth a watch.

View MoreHonestly, the film be may be more of an "8" in the grand scheme of cinema, but I want to help boost it out of the "6.4" it's currently at. "Cargo" is one of the best "Zombie" films ever made. Instead of an action-packed "survival-story", it goes back to the genre's roots and mixes the survival aspect with heavy doses of metaphor and social-commentary. I'll leave out spoilers, so let's just say there is a lot of layers to the fairly simple narrative. It's beautifully shot, in a landscape not often seen in many movies. The directors don't insult the viewer with tons of backstory and follow the "show, don't tell" principle. The viewer is simply dropped in this world, and puts the pieces together as it move along. Wonderful stuff coming from first-time directors. The actors are perfectly cast, and perform remarkably. Martin Freeman is always great, but he really excels in this role. He, along with Simone Landers, have to carry much of the film, and they develop a great chemistry, that seems authentic. If you are looking for a high-action-gore-fest, it's probably going to let you down. However, I'd recommend anyone to give it a chance, as you might be surprised at the unique ways this movie can be haunting in addition to it's "heart".It's also worth checking out the 7 minute short, by the same name , as it captures the overall theme in just one moment. It's impressive to see what a rich story they created out of that idea. However, I'd recommend you watch it AFTER you see the full feature to avoid spoiling a key moment.
