A Visually Intense Zombie Thriller That Brings Something New
This film makes a debut with lots of expectations since it was created by same director as "Train to Busan," the first Korean zombie movie that wowed the audience around the world.
What I really like about "Colony," is how zombies are different than any zombie movies I have ever seen. It shows a wide range of interesting abilities instead of just being "infected" by some sort of virus. There is a decent exposition and a back story. From smell to vision to intelligence, they get creative and stronger as time passes by.
The downside of this film compared to the successor is the lack of a powerful side character who always confronts zombies fearlessly. I am not saying a female protagonist is the issue as she does an excellent job fighting zombies by utilizing her knowledge as a professor in human/animal biology. It is just the antagonist and the zombies are a bit overpowering in this one.
I recommend this movie to all the sci-fi and zombie lovers as it is not only fast-paced, but it is also filled with actions, theories, and most importantly, freaky visuals and sounds.
