Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I saw the preview of this film on a Hong Kong film I rented, and thought it looked fantastic. Insane superheroes, zombies, giant snakes, what could be better. Unfortunately, when I was finally able to track the film down, it turned out to be something of a disappointment, as almost all of the funniest parts were in the trailer.The main issue is that there are far too few funny moments to justify a ninety-five minute movie. Most of the real laughs come on the all too rare occasions when they break the fourth wall. Many of the other jokes are spoofs of eight or nine year old movies that now come across as dated. The action / horror scenes are nowhere near scary enough, (and have too bad special effects) to stand by themselves. Virtually the only reason to actually rent the film is for the attractive Thai actresses.

Look I know Thailand's film industry is only just getting worldwide recognition and I hate to pick on the little guy, but some of these comments... come on, people. I know it's not totally fair to judge a Thai film like this by the standards of a more mature film industry like Hollywood or Hong Kong but I do think if this had been made in America it would be widely reviled as a piece of crap.My biggest problem is when people start comparing this to Brain Dead or Sean of the Dead or god forbid any of the Romero films. That's just an insult to those vastly superior movies. If Uwe Boll made Scary Movie 5 we'd have a pretty close approximation of Sars Wars. Not to say you can't enjoy this movie in the right mood and in the right company if you don't mind groan-inducing humor and bad CG. It can be fun, though incredibly stupid fun that could easily have been written by a fairly bright 12 year old. A certain type of person will like this (specifically 12 year old boys, either actual or just in spirit) but lets not act like it's something it's not.

Going into this movie I knew that it's supposed to be somewhat gory, somewhat funny and that it's from Thailand. So immediately from knowing Thai humor, the humor is going to be very silly. And this is the main reason why people aren't enjoying this flick? Whatever, I enjoy Thai silliness....the dude in the Tony Jaa flicks is one funny dude in my opinion.Sars Wars is about a zombie epidemic that hits Thailand...well, just one building, but it hits and what follows is a very silly, sometimes funny and a slightly gory movie. I'd rather not try to explain the entire plot, it's just pretty much a rescue mission with romance, gore, some alright anime scenes and a giant snake. I enjoy all of those facets of entertainment and even though Sars Wars didn't do a great job combining the lot it still was a pretty fun movie to watch.It's Thai humor to a T. It even has some transsexual moments, which is always funny and unbelievable since it's a big thing over there. Anyways, if you're looking for a new gore flick to check out, this definitely fits the bill. You might even enjoy the silly-ass Thai humor too. 7 outta 10

A Zombie infection spreads due to a mutated version of Sars and a group of kidnappers, health agents and a sword wielding hero are trapped in a building by the government of Thailand to contain the infection.Firstly the zombie action is generally pretty good and gory. The film moves pretty quickly to the point where guys with guns and zombies are having it out with each other. The budget must have been decent because there's no shortage of blood, body parts and exploding heads. There are a couple of zombie variations I wont spoil that are done in cgi though that let things down a bit as the cgi is pretty much on the same level as something you'd expect in Ali McBeal.The major problem though with Sars Wars is the writing is bad. Really really bad. The comedy in Sars Wars is a horrible mishmash of parody, self mockery and 4th wall breaking. Also there isn't a single original element in this film. I mean every zombie movie rips off Dawn of the Dead but... Wild Zero? Anaconda? Anyway If you are zombie movie fan the action is there and you'll have some fun in trying to spot every reference but you'll have a hard time overlooking the terrible humor.
