Escape to the Cove
Escape to the Cove
In the near future, a pandemic has ravaged the earth. Fear, greed and destruction have made way for such terrors as famine, pirates, and zombies. CAIRO YAZID's, only chance for survival is to join forces with a curmudgeon, SOLOMON, also still untouched by the fatal virus, as he is the only one who knows the secret location of the safe place known simply as THE COVE.

My quick rating - 3.1/10. So we have a protagonist running around in Zubaz (points if you know what that is, I miss mine). This would be alright, but I cannot recall a time I have seen a character written to be more of a wimp. But let's continue down the road of reasons not to bother with this. The antagonist that is the epitome of the drama class in high school, the dude who swears he was an "upcoming actor to be reckoned with". That douche would've used those exact words and with his portrayal of the bad guy, you would've pushed him into the water. Oh, it also doesn't help that there is nearly no explanation of what is wrong in this post-apocalyptic world we have. Sometimes zombies wander around, other times, something in the water that devours people. Reading the IMDB description isn't supposed to explain it; the filmmakers should kind of clue you in. The whole point of the movie is getting to "The Cove," which is basically an uninfected area. Also, it happens to be the home for the hero of the movie, who again is about as likable as my last phone bill. Just pass on it unless you are a glutton for punishment. Oh, what is wrong with me? I almost forgot to tell you, when you watch this movie, the soundtrack is like you hit "pause" while playing Mortal Kombat, and the background music just keeps looping. Enjoy
