This is horrible in so many ways it is very hard to know where to begin.

The opening monologue alone was so poorly written, it made me wonder of nuclear armageddon might not have been such a bad thing after all.

I think a good takeaway from this movie is that something to the order of $450,000 was spent. Think about that as you watch this movie, whose special effects are on par with that of any leading youtube video. While it would be easy to blame the wooden actors, all of which had exactly zero chemistry with anyone else, in any scene, that would be a disservice to the horrid things the characters were forced to say and the quite inconsistent ways in which they acted. For example they found out about X stopping zombies dead in their tracks. The very next scene they come to a place they has lots of X but it also has a good green screen set piece to use. So instead of just using X (aka go in the water) they cross a bridge.

How do you have so many CGI bats, but not CGI blood?!

What reason was there to care about ANY of the characters? Did a 5th grader write this screenplay?

I had hopes that - with its hideous CGI and bad acting - it would be entertainingly awful but, unfortunately, after twenty minutes it degenerated into utter monotony and never recovered.

30 minutes in I turned it off. It was just annoying me, especially the dialogue. Like there is this call him a wizard guy or some *beep* like that, you will know him when he appears and he's just a total dickwad. It's like they were going for some epic scene with all this powerful emotive language but, like the original poster said, written by a 5th grader.
