The Colony (I) (2013)
2/10
Could have been better - full of holes
29 December 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I had hopes for the story but its a waste of your and apparently my time. If you can get past the few holes in the story it is not to bad but I can not do that. And I do not normally pick apart movies but it was big holes. I am only going to do 4 bigger holes that I saw. The acting was decent though.

1. Snow?? Always snowing they said, stormy etc. Yet the (zombies) could follow them after hrs of walking due to the tracks they had in the snow. I live in a winter climate here and on a normal snow day a track can be filled in rather quickly if the wind is blowing. Thus no tracking unless they got out very fast and could see them. Oh and it was after the night they stayed in the chopper.

2. The Chopper for safety sleep. Why is this chopper that looks like it has been there for a long time since the 18yr old boy didn't know what it was used for. And yet it was on the very top of the snow, now a mountain or anything on a huge pile of snow.

3. I would shoot. I know they have to make the movie exciting but if a normal person who had 20 or so people after them and they already shot a few of them would shoot at the rest. No, instead lets look at the zombies in all their glory while they get closer and come after us. Ah sorry I have a gun, bye zombie. I found myself saying shoot, shoot, shoot over and over. There you go, they finally heard me through the TV. :)

END SPOILER 4. Main bad guy. This guy is the strongest etc, but who really can take a beating at the end with whack after whack and have no damage at all other then a little blood.

Could have been much better if there was a bit of thought to plot holes, but alas, they do this kinda thing in so many movies now.
