![]() ![]() I managed to sit through 5 episodes, then I had essentially seen enough, and I will not be returning to "The Z Virus" to watch more episodes. I can't really claim to be personally much impressed or overly entertained. If you have no expectations then you might get some kind of enjoyment from "The Z Virus". "The Z Virus" is by no means a contender or competition for series such as "The Walking Dead", "Fear the Walking Dead" or even "Z Nation". And when you actually do see a zombie, then it becomes difficult to take it seriously, because it sounds like a predatory feline or something like that. Sure, there were a shambling zombie here and there, but it was nowhere near enough to satisfy the needs of a true zombie aficionado. Now, for an apocalyptic show that revolves around a zombie outbreak or infection, then the episodes were sort of frightfully devoid of zombies. So look past the initial concern about the obvious "The Walking Dead" rip off in the intro segment for "The Z Virus", and you will actually have a decent show here. It is quite clear that the commitment and enthusiasm put into this project is done by people with a love and affinity for the zombie genre. While "The Z Virus" is not a major Hollywood production in terms of budget and acting talents, it is actually still an enjoyable endeavor, especially so if you enjoy the zombie genre. You know what is going on, for sure, but many of the scenes just weren't accompanied with visual effects, be it CGI or practical effects, to enhance the scenes. Nipah virus is also known to cause illness in pigs and people. Fruit bats, also called flying foxes, are the animal reservoir for NiV in nature. The special effects in "The Z Virus" are sparse and quite often the scenes are filmed so that they didn't have to use special effects such as scenes with people being shot. Nipah virus (NiV) is a zoonotic virus, meaning that it can spread between animals and people. It should be said that the episodes are short, running at just about 10 minutes, so don't expect this to be a thing that will have you entertained for hours and hours. And while it does serve as a background story and does add some explanation to the infection, it is just a generic option because it has been used so many times before in other zombie settings. The writer or writers of the show opted for the approach based on a meteor striking Earth and the infection that causes the dead to rise as zombies is based on something from outer space. But I will say that the blood and gore was actually satisfactory - sounds morbid, I know, but if you are a zombie aficionado you know what I mean here. It cannot be denied that the budget for "The Z Virus" hasn't been mind boggling high, because the effects when guns were being shot was just questionable. ![]() ![]() That was a good thing, so that you don't have to sit through a heap of trivial story arc Building and character development. "The Z Virus" does start off in a pretty decent pace, and throws the audience right into the action. The intro was actually so much similar to "The Walking Dead" that the word plagiarism comes to mind. The intro even shows a house with the words "dead inside" written on it, very much like the famous hospital doors from "The Walking Dead". And actually, already from that very first moment a seed of concern was planted that this was going to be a stinker. Same type of imagery, some type of gritty feel to it, same type of construction of presentation and same kind of lighting and switch between focus and being out of focus. From the very first image of the intro the whole thing just screams rip off of "The Walking Dead". Not having heard about "The Z Virus" before it had apparently reached episode 6 of season 1, I must admit that my interest was immediately lured in, especially because I am a huge fan of everything zombie. zip Other file extensions associated with EZ7z for Mac ![]() Common file extensions used by EZ7z for Mac Although its likely, that some file extensions may be missing from the list of associated file extensions with the application, yet they can be opened, be part of, or otherwise be associated with the program.
