Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Katie Jurek Not one of Schwarzenegger's best. The movie just led up to nothingness. There was no true conflict, no true resolution; it just existed, and not in a beautiful, poetic way, but pointlessly. Nothing happened, and nothing was explained. The movie would have been much more effective and dramatic if the affliction hadn't been about zombies.
princechin While this film does give more meaning to the life of a zombie before becoming one, it does it in a pale way; this movie is very boring to watch. I found it hard to just to keep myself awake while watching the film. If you're looking for an action film, or a film that keeps its pace up, you will be gravely disappointed.
fairlesssam I am not one for drama's or sentimental films but I had seen a lot of positive reviews about Maggie and due to it's subject matter I thought I would have a look. The film is set after a pandemic where an infection turns people into flesh-eating zombies. The government knows how the virus works and after being infected there is only a certain amount of time before the victim turns ravenous for human flesh. Before that time comes the infected are collected by the government or local law enforcement and put into quarantine and then terminated.Arnold Schwarzenegger and Abigail Breslin play father (Wade) and daughter (Maggie) caught up in the horrific situation of the daughter being infected. Both give outstanding, heartfelt performances which are beautifully captured and portrayed by first- time director Henry Hobson. There's nothing messy or out of place in this film, no boring lulls or unnecessary anything. It is extremely well-written and scripted. It comes across as natural. It's not really enjoyable per se as it is sad and the ending is of course is inevitable. But it is a pleasure to witness Arnold Schwarzenegger and Abigail Breslin give such wonderful performances.
zardoz-13 Freshman director Henry Hobson and "Terminator" star Arnold Schwarzenegger have made what qualifies as literally the most interesting but least violent zombie movie in cinematic history. Usually, when you think of a zombie thriller with a star of Schwarzenegger's stature, you imagine lots of blood, gore, and flesh-feasting with Arnie decimating the opposition. Such is not the case with "Maggie," a low-budget but high-minded meditation on zombies from the perspective of a grieving middle-aged father whose daughter has become infected with the Necroambulis Virus Epidemic ravaging the country. The Department of Agriculture warns farmers that they must burn their crops because the crops may be infected with the virus. Refreshing is the adjective that best describes this offbeat, 95-minute, PG-13 rated opus. Essentially, "Maggie" deals with an America caught up in zombie apocalypse. Nobody knows exactly how to treat the infected, but they sure don't waste time obliterating those that have turned. Bearded farmer Wade Vogel (Arnold Schwarzenegger) searches for his missing 16-year old daughter, Maggie (Abigail Breslin of "Zombieland"), and finds her in an urban hospital where she is being treated for an infection. Indeed, a zombie bit her, but the time that it takes for zombie victims to transform into flesh-eater has been changed for dramatic purposes. After he reunites with his daughter, Vogel is allowed to take her home. A doctor warns Wade that he can take his daughter home, but he must take her in for examination if any changes occur. Not long after Wade brings Maggie back home to his wife, Caroline (Joely Richardson of "Snowden"), so they can spend time with her.One of the problems working against "Maggie" is its predictable plot. Wade does everything that he can to shield his daughter from the authorities. If anybody is going to kill her, Wade wants to be the one to delivers the fatal blow. Gradually, Maggie disintegrates. At one point, she chops off a broken finger on a cutting board and throws the digit into the garbage disposal to be ground up. Maggie visits a high school friend who is suffering from an infection. Once humans change, they have to be put in quarantine and a lethal drug must be administered to kill them. Basically, we know that nothing short of a miracle will save Maggie, and "Maggie" turns into a tragic film with no relief in sight. Brawny Arnold cannot save his daughter from her fate, but he protects her up to her end. "Maggie" shows Arnold Schwarzenegger as we have never seen him. He emerges as a flesh and blood individual who has no power over his daughter's illness and eventual transformation into a zombie. Nevertheless, if zombie movies turn you off because of all their blood and gore, "Maggie" may change your mind about this sub-genre.
