Un bon film d'horreur qui, dans sa première moitié, prend presque la forme d'un drame procédural sur comment (ne pas) bien se préparer à une zombie apocalypse, avant de se transformer dans sa seconde moitié en un film d'action solide avec des scènes de suspense efficaces, où vous vous attachez aux personnages et priez pour leur survie. Dans le sous-genre zombie, on a déjà vu plus captivant, plus ingénieux et plus porteur, mais celui-ci est tout simplement potable, sans rien apporter de nouveau. [Sitges 2024] ()
Un film de zombie espagnol avec tous les ingrédients nécessaires à l’intrigue, mais avec une plus petite dose de gore. Et il aurait pu y avoir plus de conflits avec les zombies. Apocalypsis Z est varié dans ses lieux de tournage, mais les mouvements le long de la côte ouest boisée de l’Espagne et sur l’eau sont les seules choses qui lui donnent sa propre identité cinématographique. Ça et la stylisation du protagoniste en pilote de moto tout-terrain vêtu d’une combinaison néoprène et équipé d’un fusil à harpon à manche en plastique. Mais ne vous attendez pas à une parodie. La lenteur et le manque d’intérêt du début du film sont appropriés aux ambitions de production d’Amazon Prime en matière de VOD. Pour être mémorable, il lui faudrait des innovations scénaristiques autour des zombies. Ces derniers inspirent moins de crainte que les bandits ukrainiens. [Festival du film de Sitges] ()
An average entry into the zombie horror genre, which has recently moved into cheap B-movies. This one was obviously a bit more expensive, but it doesn't bring anything new to the table in terms of story. It’s a character drama set at the beginning of the apocalypse, but it is slow to get going and it's only in the last quarter that we can talk about action and escalating tension. The biggest problem is Manel, who is really hard to identify with. An unlikeable moron who hasn't seen any zombie movies, so he runs right up to them at the first encounter and says he's going to take them down. If it weren't for a helpful crutch in the script, he would have been dispatched right at the start. He's trying very hard to help people, but he's leading death to them instead. The zombies have been running really fast lately (which is constantly beyond me), but here they are perhaps jet-powered. Naturally we don’t get to see any juicy gore, even the simple visual effects look very subtle. Why the Ukrainians are the bad guys somehow escapes me, but so be it, it's in the script. Anyone who has seen a movie or two will guess the ending fairly early on. Unfortunately, Spain hasn't been an automatic guarantee of quality for quite a while now, and that's true this time too; if it weren't for the action-packed finale, I'd it even lower. There’s no need for a sequel ()
A horror/zombie/post-apocalyptic survival flick in which the most striking (as well as rather insipid and dull) motifs are sadness for a deceased partner and taking care of a cat. The second, more action-oriented half makes a better impression than the slowly unfolding first half, which looks very cheap and relies quite a lot on literal explanation through television news reports. The main protagonist isn’t very impressive and the story is full of clichés. Fortunately, the zombie action – when it actually happens – is perfectly fine. ()
