Worth making your own mind up
Whilst i found a few parts a bit dull and it kind of dragged on, on the whole i really enjoyed this. It was shot well, acted well and ive no real complaints. Wont be for everyone but if you have the time you should at least form your own opinion (male lead, for a fps gamer, was a bit of a pussy and quite slow on the uptake i guess is the only critisism i could add). Strong female didnt disappoint and stayed strong (pleased with myself when i recognised her from another show, a small pat on my back even if i didnt know her name )Was this review helpful to you?
I loved it to the point i rewatched it two times
I really like zombie movies, and so one day I saw #alive on Netflix. I watched it the first time let me just tell you, I fell in love with the male lead and the female lead. The way everything is set up, and how the actors and actresses played their roles so good omg. Park Shin Hye did an amazing good in her acting. Yoo Ah In did an amazing job as well. From the beginning till the end, you can sense a relationship-building up with characters.I'm not going to spoil it, you're just going to have to watch it for yourself to see what I'm talking about

Such a nice movie!
I was worry about that it won't be my taste..but I was wrong. I’m satisfied now, finally I found a movie what I like..with zombies. (anyway I don't like movies where are zombies, but this one is worth it to watch).? The story was just like any ordinary, average zombie-movie, but this movie had this little pinch of romance, and also some lesson how to work with someone, and felllowship(?). l something metaphorical about the COVID-19 going on nowadays. And also I have seen some metaphorical references to COVID-19 going on today.
The zombies here were much more scarier than in other movies, just because this movie want to show us how dangerous some virus, even it's not looks like dangerous.
But of couse what I loved about this movie is the happy ending! Who hates happy endings, am I right? ;) Plus points for that! But I hope the movie creator give us some more type or movies OR they produce a sequel! aw
????? Anyway the cast was also great! The main cast was perfect, and also their acting skills was..omg! I loved every minute and every second.
The support role was also fine, without objection, impeccable. PERFECT!
⭐️ Overall, a 9/10, very thrilling and super fun to watch, even tho I don't like zombies, I fall for this one uwu!
? And at the last thing is what I want to say I just want to say thank you for the directors and to the cast and to the stuff, thank you for working hard <3

What to do if you end up in a situation like this?
This zombie movie was an intense story with some much needed humor and dives into the human psyche in a zombie apocalypse. It is not better than Train to Busan, but it does stand out as its own movie.The story was not the best written because you jump into the action of the movie not even 10 minutes into it. There were some parts not explain like how it began, but I liked it was a mystery on how we don't know how a zombie apocalypse could happen. I also like the reversal of the two characters roles, will explain in a second. One of my favorite parts of the writing is we got to look into the male lead's head and how he feels about what is happening around him. There were some hard parts to watch in this movie so watch out!!
Acting: I love Park Shin Hye in this role. Please drama gods?! Give her more of these type of roles!! I liked that the female lead got to do a lot of the action, and not just the male lead. Yoo Ah In did a fantastic job on giving us the human side of how to react to the world around him. They were fantastic together as allies and the chemistry was great too. I am also glad there was no romance in this movie!! I would feel a romance would slow down the story because the action was fast-paced. The slower moments were about the character development and I appreciated that immensely!!!
Music: The tone of the music fitted the tone of the story well. The music made the story more intense, or emotional or funny (the little that we got).
Re-watch: I have watched this a couple of times already. I think you should watch it first for the experience, then maybe another viewing to figure what is happening. I think it does require a couple of watches to appreciate this more. But I would also understand if you only watch this once since I could be hard to watch at times.
Overall, I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes zombie apocalypse movies, action, and the actors. It story may not be as deep as Train to Busan, but it is an entertaining ride from start to finish.

Realistic Zombie Movie
This is one of the realistic zombie movie. During covid period, we can related to the characters and plot. Although Covid is not as bad as zombie situation, we might sometimes caught up in a situation which we didn't prepare for.The movie is very much focus on characters and slowly developing a story and how they react in those situations.
In the end.. we are just ordinary people trying to survive in those unexpected situations.
Give it a try. There can be some lessons that we can learn.

Dead Days?
ZOMBIES!!! You know I'm here for it! So you know when I saw it pop up on my list, I had to watch it ASAP! From the very start I was instantly hooked. I couldn't put my finger on it - because I admit it was actually a pretty slow start, yet... not. It was different. I also couldn't shake the feeling like I had possibly seen it before? But, I pushed that feeling away and became engrossed in the movie but slowly but surely I KNEW I had seen this before... But... where...WebToon readers I'm here for you. You've seen this before as well. Y'all ready for this? 2015; Dead Days.
Yep, I kept telling myself "noooo surely not." but as soon as they got to the 8th floor, there was no denying it was definitely Dead Days. I tried to look up and see what came first but the only thing I could find was this is the adaptation of the english version... or the other way around? Not sure. I haven't seen the english version either. But it looked like it was going to release this year as well? Which is interesting. If they did get the idea from Dead Days, I kinda hope they give the creator credit. If it's vice versa, then I hope the same thing as well.
Now to the actual movie, I'm not even knocking it. It was kick ass and it's always amazing to see a good story come to life! The acting was on point and I couldn't help but laugh a bit through the movie. Especially with the "Last meal" ramen because of the commercial. Lol It's the end of days and they gotta throw in a ramen commercial. hahahaaaaaaa I see what you did there and it worked because even I paused to make ramen. X_X evil evil! Lol This coming from a person with a weak stomach too! LOL
All in all the movie was really good, just hope those that have that "I feel like I've seen/heard this before", you have. lol

Alive
No la volvería a ver, fue aburrida desde que el termino encerrado en su casa hasta el final y es mas de lo mismo en cuanto a películas de virus y zombies, nada original. Lo único original es que los zombies recordaban algunas cosas que podían hacer como humanos. Pero por alguna razon me parecio una version de guerra mundial z coreana. No me parecieron actuaciones estelares y esperaba mas de ella. Pero en si ni el guion ni la historia eran para ella, no la hizo lucir como la gran actriz que es.Was this review helpful to you?
Un film de zombies
C'est un film un peu différent des autres dans ce domaine, car ça se concentre principalement sur un survivant assez jeune qui vit dans un immeuble.Les zombies sont bien fait, ils sont énergiques, et ne sont pas ridicules. On ne connait pas vraiment la cause exacte de tout ça, ce n'est pas le meilleur film dans ce domaine mais ça se laisse regarder.
Il n'y a pas beaucoup d'action pendant les trois quart du film, c'est dommage. Ce n'est pas le film de zombies de l'année.

one of the best films I've watched in this quarantine!!
aku nonton film ini kira-kira di bulan agustus dan suka banget!! at that time aku lagi stress banget karena pandemi ini dan nyoba nonton ini karena pemainnya yoo ah-in sama park shinhye.ngeliat gimana stressnya junwoo gak bisa keluar rumah karena ada zombie dan gak bisa berinteraksi sama manusia lain bikin ngerasa relate banget dengan keadaan kita di masa pandemi.
dan ya, ada beberapa pertanyaan yang belum terjawab buat aku kaya "gimana cara bapak di lantai 8 ngasih makan istrinya selama ini?" dan lain lain tapi overall gak ganggu banget ke ceritanya sih.

Sobreviví
Me habían contado que la película era mala, aburrida...Debo decir, que se equivocaron totalmente, obviamente si la comparamos con Tren a Busan, nada que ver; pero Alive dentro de su historia y sus zombies, es muy diferente y es bastante buena.
Esta película tiene lo necesario para mantenerte pegada y los momentos de tensión son excelentes, pues cuando crees que te estás aburriendo ¡BUM! algo sucede y puedes hasta llegar a saltar de tu asiento unos centímetros.
Las actuaciones, son buenas; no sé por qué pero Yoo Ah In siempre para esta clase de papeles donde se hace el tonto, es el mejor; Shin Hye, siempre tranquila, sin nada de sorpresas, y como es usual, quieren hacerla una heroína y pos esta vez al lado del personaje de Ah In, si termina siendo heroína.
En resumen, una buena película que vale la pena ver y varias veces, no creo que uno se aburra de verla, especialmente cuando se les acaba la comida y deben ir a buscarla.
