OK, so i have just finished watching this movie and all i could think of is that it lacks originality, the whole premise of the film seems to be "borrowed" from at least 4 other films, with obvious similarities between the Mad Max Trilogy and Escape from New York/LA The film also seems to have stolen the character "Selene" from the Underworld Trilogy, from attire, personality and even haircut! (Ironically, main star Rhona Mitra, Eden, shall be appearing in Underworld 3, Rise of the Lycans) There was also the feel of 28 Weeks Later, the whole premise of an enclosed area, subject to a killer virus.
So let me sum this up. A killer virus has wiped out Scotland and a wall has been erected around, to contain it (28 Weeks Later & Escape From New Yore/LA.) 30 Years later it is found that people have survived, so a cure must exist within the wall. the virus has now spread to London and the cure is needed. Cue Eden, a young, strong, fearless, sexy woman with all the moves (Selene, Underworld) is sent to retrieve it. once there she finds it is overrun by what can only be described as cannibalistic Road Warriors (Mad Max)and it is up to Selene.....Oops, sorry.....Eden to find the cure and save the day! OK, so, scrutiny over, this was actually an enjoyable flick, with enough guns, cars, explosions and with the help Rhona Mitras' costume, it keeps us men happy. Sadly lacking in the "story line" department, but still delivers an enjoyable watch.
Not really a Cinema worthy feature but definitely one to rent, so get the lads rounds, get the beers in and enjoy this respectable 7 out of 10.
