Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
View MorePerfectly adorable
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
View MoreThe acting in this movie is really good.
Out in the wilderness, rehabilitated teens come across a swarm of strange birds infected with a mutated strain of avian flu and must try to stop the unrelenting attacks from continuing and warn the world of the crises.There was a lot to like from this one. One of the best parts is that the film really manages to get a lot of great moments due to its strong pacing. This one is just relentless, not even getting ten minutes in before the birds attack the main group, which is outstanding and really appreciated. The fact that the attacks are also fun is great, as this one contains some really good sequences and gets really fun as it gets going in the rather frenetic opening scene where it shows the birds raining down on the confused teens as they flee in panic. Some of the other bird-attack scenes, including one where they're under attack inside a cramped house and any of the forest attacks are pure fun, with several sequences stuck inside a gas-filled chamber and the attack on the SWAT team. There's also the way it handles the virus and how it transmits it, managing some fun scenes where the discovery is made, and the race to keep it contained and really feels like something of a crisis, which comes off as a nicely done way of building tension to their attacks, using an impressive-looking hospital victim and them falling under the effects later to generate even more which is a nice plus. The last positive is that this one works in a nice amount of gore into it as well as the fact that the birds are realistically designed, both drawing from a real dearth of fake and cheaply-done CGI, which is a nice plus as these here are the film's best features. There wasn't a whole lot of flaws to this one. The main one is the fact that this one doesn't offer up too much in the form of explanations for anything, as there's no explanation offered for the bird's appearance, or even for the mutation of the virus, how it even got to the birds, what it does or really anything else, which is a grave error as it doesn't really manage to put anything together or really make an effort to do so, merely content to simply say they're alive and leave it as that, which makes for a suitably ill aftertaste. Along with the fact that it misses a grand opportunity with the helicopter attack, these are the film's flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Brief Nudity
View MoreLo, for the genius of humanity reveals itself in Flu Birds, the most awe-inspiring movie ever - before it's over you'll wish you were playing solitaire on your computer, it's just that grabbing. As this abomination progressed, I found myself gaping, gasping, laughing, crying, even shivering - all in agonizing pain. The epic fail this movie is, is riveting. Surely it is the horror equivalent of Beverly Hills Chihuahua, which we all know is the best film ever with its Bottom 100 rating. The only thing scary about Flu Birds is the blatant discontinuity and the idiocy of the characters, all of whom are either exceedingly stupid or just plain assholes. You'll hate them all and wish them dead. The "birds" look more like pterodactyls than anything; the idea that they are even mutated doesn't fly. Their CGI was okay, although there were many scenes that were sickeningly fake. Scientific and logic flaws are so numerous there's just no counting them. Indeed, you will shed many tears of disappointment and despair that this movie could even be put into production, if it doesn't burn your eyes out first. Do yourself a favor and rent a documentary about rocks. It'll be better than this movie by far, and you're far less likely to kill yourself at the end.
View MoreWow I was shocked at how badly done this movie was! From the beginning where the hunter with the gun decides to run from the killer birds while they kill his friend,and not shoot at them. Then shows up later in the woods without his gun? Threw it away I guess? To the point where the military soldiers get attacked by the birds and you can actually see the lady soldier at the desk in HQ smiling? (Teach her to act!) Or to the security guard that tells the doctor trying to leave a quarantined area he will shoot her and feels so bad about shooting her,but doesn't try to physically stop her,but merely spins around after she passes him and shoots her dead without a thought,but then feels bad? Oh and my absolute favorite part? Well that just has to be the woman in the mine/cave/fort thing counting that there are FIVE killer birds. Only then to have us watch ONLY 2 enter the cave and get blown up! (Don't tell me they did that for a sequel!) I'm on a bad streak! I just watched Outpost before this one!
View MoreI was cheering for the Flu Birds to win so the movie would be over. The writing and directing had me feeling sorry for the actors. What could they do to save the film being handed this piece of poop. Was it written by a 7 year old and directed by a homeless person. My apology to the homeless. The actors apparently needed jobs and apparently need new managers. The actors did over act in what I think was them trying to make the movie kind of camp. The actors were good looking but I saw pain in their faces like they were being forced to do this film. If this was intended to be a horror movie then they really missed the mark. I did find myself laughing at how ridiculous the whole thing was. It is another example how someone had a good idea for a movie and then the writers and director screwed it all up. I suppose the people that funded this movie are so rich that they wanted a tax loss for the year?
