Zombieland


"Nut up or shut up", a line that Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) used to start his zombie slaughtering game in the zombie comedy film, Zombieland, which is directed by Ruben Fleischer. At the first glance we may see Zombieland is sort of Shaun of the Dead (2004) brother from the another-mother. But after we get deeper in the movie, we soon can find the differences between them. And still, this movie give another taste of zombie-apocalypse.

The story itself centered on two people that travel together in a post-apocalypse United States of America, which Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) called Zombieland, who have unique relation because of their earth and heaven personality. The first guy, Columbus is a nerdy college guy that spend all of his time playing online games inside his room. The another guy is Tallahassee, a macho man who held a personal grudge against the zombie and also enjoy killing them. They also later joined by Wichita (Emma Stone) and her sister, Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) who have a unique way to survive the Zombieland. Across the movie we'll be served by some rules that appear in a comical way, rules that Columbus comes up with for surviving the zombie-invested world.

Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick as the screenplay writer did a great job on plotting the story. Although the plot is really straight forward and simple, but that is the point of a zombie comedy film. And we'll be surprised by the funny, yet spectacular cameo by Bill Murray (Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, Lost in Translation) who managed to make us all laugh so hard in his cameo.

In conclusion, as I said before, Zombieland add more fun in watching those brain-lover who can even outrun your brand-new Prius.
