I Am Omega

I am Omega has very few alpha moments.  Zombies already roam the land and waiting to either eat you or be part of a bullet buffet.

 

Renchard, played by Mark Dacascos (a.k.a. Amerian Iron Chef's Chairman), has a very elaborate security system at his house for alerting him whenever the zombies try to invade.  And because of the system, he has been able to survive.  Every so often, he goes into town, fights zombies, and strategically places time bombs on the gas lines.  This is what you see for almost half of the movie.

 

The movie picks up after Renchard receives a video call, on his laptop, from a woman who is trapped downtown.  She needs to get to Antioch and Renchard is not in the mood to risk his life to save her.

 

He gets in the mood real quick after a couple of ex-marines show up and destroy his house.  The three of them begin going through the sewer lines to get to the lady, Brianna.  The sewers used to carry in ocean water into the city and the zombies do not like the salt.

 

The movie keeps moving along, Renchard gets to the girl, the two of them escape, the surviving marine shows up, and PLOT TWIST ALERT wants to kill the girl because she is part of the cure for the zombies.  With no more zombies, he can't go around killing them.

 

The ending is very weak.  It is almost as if the writer(s) didn't know how to end the movie.  It might be a better book than movie, but I am not going to read the book.

 

I give this movie 1 out of 5 zombies in the sewer.
