Pride and Prejudice and Zombies — A good entertaining mix of concepts — 6*/10

  • Story: Great intro, there was also a certain effort made to build an intrigue, lots of details, and the match making kept our attention well enough. However, the zombie crisis and pandemonium seemed almost like an afterthought at times. I know that was the idea, but then why was the climactic event about zombies?
  • Setting: Very interesting zombie concepts and quite well developed if a bit over narrated, all of it set in an unusual time period which made it a solid choice.
  • Pacing: Well done, nice balance between quiet and action.
  • Ending: Poor. There wasn't enough meat to it, especially compared to the rest of the film.
  • Dialogs: I think the quality of this flick reside in its dialogs. Not by their craft, no, but by how they navigate us through the story, because they are the one keeping us entertained, really.
  • Characters: Good, if simple and archetypical.
  • Acting: Varied in quality, but mostly good. Fighting was poor, barely made the cut as far as I'm concerned, especially for one of the girls.
  • Visuals: Appealing.
  • Special Effects: No reproach, very well done.
  • Costumes: Pretty good overall to the exception of a few unfortunate choices.
  • Synopsis & informationhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt1374989/
  • Entertainment value: Good.
  • Who is it for? Those looking for a new zombie concept or those who like the P&P type of setting as well as the zombie genre. Don't expect too much, though.
