The movie looks like it's going to be a sucky pile of dog shite. No way am I gonna fork over $9 for it.
Where did I say I saw a trailer?
I forked over $6.50 and found it entertaining.

It reminded me of that as well. The car chase at the end had some parts that were direct rip-offs from the one in The Road Warrior, but it was so blatant I would hope that it was meant as a tribute.

This virus doesn't turn people into zombies, vampires, et cetera. It is just very contagious and very lethal. If you survive, it modifies your fashion sense to that of a Punker, and your interpersonal relations skills to those of Alkemyst.
The main character and some other troops are sent over the wall to find out how the humans that are now showing up on the spy satellites survived, as the virus has now crossed the containment wall and if there is a cure, they need it.
The main character is a walking cliché. The hard-ass on the outside, tormented and grief-ridden on the inside type. Thankfully, they ignore that aspect once they get the plot set up, except for a brief moment near the end.
The movie is one of those where at times you're sitting there saying, "WTF, did they just do that?" Other times you are laughing because the violence is so over the top and ridiculous, as happens in zombie movies.
The car chase scene towards the end was definitely one of the more memorable in recent history.
Don't bother with this movie if you're expecting high drama. If you like Mad Max or Escape From New York movies with some degree of camp, you may like it. Regular action movie junkies may not, because of the lack of seriousness given to some aspects of it.
