What a waste of my time!!!

Very Cool!!!

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Let me save everyone 2 hours of their life. So, "zombies", i use that term loosely, come back from the dead. Why? you don't know and you wont find out either. They are integrated back into society....cue the hour and a half of nothingness. Talking, talking, and more talking........OK, some bombs go off and a kid jumps off a balcony, sounds cool right? things are picking up right? wrong. The end. So my review doesn't make sense, exactly, neither does this piece of crap movie. Why are there zombies, how are there zombies, what are they doing, and where are they going....you'll never find out. The only good IMDb scores come from people who wanna pretend they're artsy and "get it". They don't get it and they know this movie blows. Spend your 2 hours trying to bite your own ear, at least it's entertaining to someone, unlike this crap.

The horror... the horror!No, the movie's nothing frightening, but in fact, it bored me to tears. You can literally take a leak, go to the snack bar, have a smoke, and return to the theatre, missing absolutely nothing. Half the time I was wondering whether something remotely interesting will crop up midway to quicken the pace, but I was dead wrong. The movie is meant to be painfully and excruciatingly slow, for it to bring forth its philosophy about life and death, and its abstract ideas about existentialism.The big question presented, though it is hardly ever gonna come true anyway, is how will society react if the dead suddenly became alive again? The issues that are posed, from housing to employment to health care and even human rights (!), are those that are any government's nightmare. The movie begins with stoned elderly folks walking, and walking, and walking some more when the opening credits rolled, until it is said that the dead are walking the earth, and are quickly scrambled to makeshift holding areas while awaiting the relatives to come claim them, and for everyone else to try and make sense of this phenomenon.Perhaps Heaven is getting crowded, or Hell has frozen over, that the departed need to return to the land of the living. They do not crave the blood of man, but rather, are finding ways to integrate back into society. Herein lies the opportunity for philosophy that is unappreciated by myself. There are different viewpoints presented via various characters, but all that is worth recalling, is that the dead are not pleased to be alive, and those alive are absolutely clueless as to what to do next. Bottom line is, let sleeping dogs lie.One thing's for sure, I don't really like abstract zombies. Give me those that crave for flesh and blood anytime!

Is there a law in France that says they have to churn out some number of French-language feature films per year? You know, to keep the language from being diluted and corrupted by evil Anglicisms like "le Zombie"? Because this would seem to be the product of such a law. It feels like a student movie project that got a lot of money thrown at it for nice, clean production and sound — but they forgot to hire an editor. Or maybe they kicked him out, because what he came up with was a half-hour short, instead of a 100-minute feature.This thing just goes on and on, with the zombie characters not doing much of anything at all, and the non-zombie characters about the same. There's not much plot, and not much action. I think the point is to show the emotional impact of people you know returning from the dead. More than once, it is said that "Your reaction may not be what you expect." Trouble is, there IS not much of a reaction. It's all very serious. No tearful reunions. No lovers' quarrels restarted. No revenge taken on one's murderer. Nothing! The living are about as affectless as the dead. Bury them all, and you wouldn't miss much.We saw this on DVD with subtitles. Nice picture; nice sound. Two out of three viewers fell asleep, and the third into a zombie-like trance. None of us felt better off having seen it. It wasn't offensive, nor silly; there was just not much there. "Revenant" means "returner", and we were happy to return this to the video store.

Umh, I know they embalm you when you die.. But, was this fact ever addressed in the movie? I was hoping to hear someone say: "Wow, isn't it remarkable that you can die and then be embalmed and then "awake" to be alive again?" This movie could have been written by a 9 year old.. How dumb.. Please, to the person who wrote and directed this piece of junk, what were you thinking? also, why were there no meaning of life questions that were addressed? For example, "what happens when you die?" "Is there an afterlife?" This movie could have been so much more.. But that would have required some intelligence and a small amount of imagination> I give it one star (out of 4)...
