Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

A group of people find themselves in a Secret Nuclear Underground Bunker when a 20 megaton bomb goes off. The film centers on their relationship and survival for the first hour, then the "fiction" aspect of science fiction enters the film.The characters were not well constructed. "Cloverfield 10" puts this film to shame. The suitcase bomb was constructed as a dirty bomb, but somehow they got a 20 Megaton blast from it. From the commentary it appears director Jonathan Glendening is unaware there is a difference between the two. The film is supposed to be a 50's style sci-fi camp film, but I didn't see it. On the plus side they used an actual SNUB to film the production. It was at least neat to see the bunker. The movie action should have started at 30 minutes into the film instead at an hour, so near the end. This requires quick concise character building. Note: This is not a zombie film.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Lots of spoilers in this post! Okay, the movie starts out with a politician who gets a fax he wasn't supposed to get, warning of a nuclear bomb about to go off in London? Can't remember what part of the UK. Anyway, he grabs an aide who is supposed to be from the US, they convince the military people to let them get to the SNUB, which is sort of an underground bunker thing.A small group of other people go there, too. Another politician's family and their friends. And once they get in there, a few more people working down there turn up. And then.....bang, there goes the nuclear bomb. It destroys the entire city and it looks very impressive.So now we have a bunch of people in this bunker wondering if help will come. And this is where things get stupid.They send a few soldiers outside to check on a radio tower. The nuclear radiation of that magnitude would probably fry anything that moved at that point. But they go out anyway, and end up getting killed by........whatever.So most of the movie is like "There's something or someone out there" and the soldiers got killed.And then it turns into, whatever killed them is crawling around the ventilation system.Then we get a story about escaped prisoners nearby who helped build the place. So guess what, some of them survived the blast and here they are. But are they zombies? They are half burnt and crispy looking, they don't talk, but they just want to kill everyone with weapons or their bare hands. I don't think they're zombies and the explanation given is the radiation made them nuts.There's a lot of killing and there's some fighting back.There's also a very stupid side plot of the US aide woman going outside in the radiation to get some help. Guess what, she actually comes back with a helicopter and saves the surviving people at the very end. And that just wrecked the whole movie. It was too neat, too copped out.I liked it till that ending. And come on, a helicopter, in that blast? When you see how bad the blast radiation is, trust me, the ending is just stupid. It looks like total inferno out there with zero visibility, fire, ash. There's just no way she could have brought help back, let alone survived even a few minutes out there.I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. And there's not much gore till nearly the end. Watch it if you're really bored.

Well what can i say...Er, how about terrible! obviously Harriet Thorpe has fallen on hard times after Life is sweet, and in all fairness she was the only recognisable character.Everything about this film screams straight to DVD and it shows.Zero character development, sloppy direction, awful script, need i go on? avoid like the mutants that mysteriously mutate within 10 minutes of a nuclear blast??!! they should of called it C.R.U.D. I'll award it 2 stars, mainly because its British (and god knows our film industry needs it) and also probably because it's the directors first effort (lord knows i hope it is) 28 days/weeks later this is not!

Usual premise, bombs gonna go off, been left by terrorists... blah blahFair enough, obviously not much money involved in this production. And it looks like the film does the best it can. Character build up is left until we get in the bunker, which is within about 10 mins of the film starting. But to be honest there is no care for any of the characters. The government official is very annoying, as is the American woman. The film itself is only 1hr and 15mins but seems like it drags on. The film is let down by its poor acting, and the mutant zombie victims from the nuclear explosion are pretty lame, as is their make up. The die hard zombie fans out there may want to watch this just to say they have seen it, but to be honest i would rather watch a repeat of 28 days or weeks later.
