I will admit that this is not the best zombie film ever made. However, it has enough good qualities to offset most of the faults. While the acting and special effects are clearly below average, this film does have a decent plot, good action and the director (Nick Lyon) manages to keep the tension throughout the movie. It also introduces some new elements to the zombie repertory by presenting both slow and fast zombies. The fast type being more recently infected. Another new element is that the zombies are slowly evolving by adopting basic tactics. Both of these new qualities actually make sense and enhances the zombie legacy for possible future use. I also liked the presence of Ving Rhames ("Henry") who always seems to add an intangible quality to these kind of films. Likewise, the inclusion of a few attractive females like Lesley-Ann Brandt ("Cassie"), Lylan Bowden ("Myrah") and Anya Monzikova ("Sara") certainly didn't hurt the movie in any way. In short, while this may not be a "great" zombie film it is probably good enough for most zombie enthusiasts to add to their collection.

What can I say, its a Syfy Original. Of course its not going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Some of the special effects are off, the zombies won't look like those you would see in a million dollar production. However, if you're a zombie fan, it's your usual run of the mill zombie story. I found it interesting that they introduce a new zombified animal. Its your usual people doing stupid stuff to get in situations where they're forced to fight off hordes of undead. Yet, it's one of the better Syfy original movies I've seen. Decent acting, decent execution aside from some flawed special effects and the usual story line....people in a zombie apocalypse trying to find a safe haven.

I do think Ving Rhames wasn't used well, but I have to say I respect him for taking on a low profile role such as this one. Once again, it is what it is. If you're one of the people who loath Syfy originals...then you probably won't give this a chance and if you do, I'm betting you won't like it too much. If you're like me, however, sometimes bored on a Saturday night...this isn't the worse thing on television or on DVD. I've seen far worse zombie movies with far worse special effects.

Three small groups of survivors of a zombie plague join forces to reach the ferry boat to a sanctuary that they are not sure that it does exist in the Catalina Island. Along their journey, they are hunted down by hordes of zombies and only a few of them survive.

"Zombie Apocalypse" is a lame, predictable and corny low-budget TV movie by Syfy channel. The story is poorly written based on the above storyline, with zombies that can run. The characters prefer to walk under siege of dozen of zombies instead of driving a car in the United States of America. The moralist fate of Henry was absolutely predictable. The special effects are very simple and there are many sequence errors in the edition. My vote is three.
