It was written a long time ago, so let's transcribe it

To be honest, after watching this film, the first impression I feel is that my blood is boiling. This film is a work from May 2008, and it is not very famous now. It is really hard to accept!
In terms of content alone, it is a bit cliché, similar to the style of "28 Days of Shock", but in terms of monetization methods, it is indeed a good movie! If 28 days isn't enough for you, well, check this out! It's very interesting that the infected people involved in the film are almost all rational. Similarly, the old-fashioned R-rated film performance method is used on normal people... I think this is one of the things that makes it different, Of course, if only from this perspective, the film is still a vulgar film! That's not what I'm talking about. The most shocking thing is the effect of the film and the touching fighting scenes in the plot. The protagonist of the film, Sinclair, is indeed a hero. Of course, this is also related to the individual of European and American culture. It's about heroism, but as a woman, and a woman who lost her right eye, the film adds a sense of watchability, which is reminiscent of Resident Evil and Tomb Raider, where feminism is on full display.. .
Let's talk about this most eye-catching fight scene. It has to be said that it is a hodgepodge of movies that combines many blockbusters. If the electronic eyeball at the beginning is just a novelty, then the fighting car show at the end can be regarded as a hodgepodge. With people's hearts running wildly on the highway! Although it was known from the beginning that Sinclair would return triumphantly, there were so many episodes in it that I couldn't bear to watch it! Let's talk about Sinclair's first appearance, which is obviously dramatic! The idea that Mom sucked Sinclair's eye out by kissing her too nervously may be unacceptable, but it also serves as a side-effect of the film's terrifying atmosphere. And this child's appearance and exit also formed a strong contrast. At the end, Sinclair became the head of the isolated area. This inevitably made the audience doubt her essence, but just like "Chainsaw 4" The end is the same, who can go through this and still maintain the benevolent heart of an angel? In fact, Sinclair is also fragile. The cigarette in his hand and the hair covering half of his face show this hidden decadence and depravity. The reason why I think "Doomsday Invasion" is a classic film is because of its details. This does not mean how small and powerful Sinclair's weapons are, but the description of the protagonist. One can pay attention to the scene at the beginning of the film where the soldiers smoke in the trunk of the car and the citizens who are blocked outside the fence, which reflects a certain connection between the soldiers and the protagonist (Sinclair is actually a British soldier himself); and Such as the innocent person who was shot to be infected at the beginning and the irrational infected person later... Like "28 Days Shocked", the infection of the virus is the direct responsibility of the government. This film also criticizes politics with ease. I don't know this. Is this approach satirizing today’s European and American governments or is it another boost to democratization?
Finally, what I want to say is that this is still the old-fashioned new work of European and American films, with "28 Days Shocked", "28 Weeks Shocked", "Terrorist Planet", "Seclusion", "Mad Max", etc. Like these films, human nature is revealed through horror and thriller, and most of the meanings may still be to meet the needs of business! All in all, "Doomsday Invasion", a good choice!

Doomsday quotes

  • John Hatcher: Yesterday if I turned up on the six o'clock news with a survivor in tow, they would've strung me up from the nearest lightpost by the balls. But in 48 hours, I arrive with a survivor and cure... sure, they won't give a flying fuck about the survivor, but they'll be lining up to kiss my ass for that cure.

  • Bill Nelson: Once you're over that wall, there's no rules, no back-up.

    Eden Sinclair: Better that way.
