Review :
Surprisingly human zombie drama
"Thoughtful" and "somber" are not words one traditionally uses to describe anything starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, especially since his career rebirth, but those words apply to Maggie, the most surprising film of his muscular career. Surprising because the film deals with a world in the midst of a zombie apocalypse, but you won't find Schwarzenegger stacking up piles of undead corpses or anything like that. Instead, Maggie is an affecting family drama that should appeal to fans of The Walking Dead rather than those expecting Dawn of the Dead.
Directed by graphic designer Henry Hobson, the atmosphere is a portrait of misery and despair in the wake of a zombie virus outbreak. Schwarzenegger is Wade, a stoic Midwestern farmer who tracks down his runaway daughter Maggie (Abigail Breslin) and discovers she's been infected by "The Turn". While the worst of the chaos seems to be over, the world has settled into a "quarantine and eliminate" scenario...
A movie appropriately named--it is a story of a girl, not a zombie
I never review movies, but I felt I had to do this one. The number of negative reviews has me a bit riled. I really liked this movie, a lot. It's dark and quietly intense, the camera work is beautiful, and it felt wholly realistic. This is NOT a "zombie flick." It's about illness and fear, about being hated because you are sick. This is a movie about a girl, dealing with her own imminent death. It's about her love for her father, and his love for her. This is Maggie's story, regardless of the fame of her costar, and I am so very glad I decided to watch it.
NOT yet ANOTHER zombie movie...thank goodness
PHEW. Not another ZOMBIE movie as I feared as I began watching. This is a meditative, intimate film that is much more about accepting the death of a child and accepting your own death when you are still young and fall ill. It's about how to you want to live and how to you want to die and when we need to get beyond our attachment in order to spare suffering. That said - this isn't a spoonful of medicine. It's a beautifully shot film with a great chemistry between Arnold and Abigail. I was pleasantly surprised by the film and even more surprised that it had an emotional effect.
Also - while we have seen supposed "real life" approaches to the genre - this comes the closest I have ever seen to capturing what it might be like on an intimate scale - without all the men in hazmat suits and soldiers exterminating people.
Want a zombie movie? Move along...rent something else. This film is not scary except in the sense of the body dying/turning against you...
