Crazies 2010 is the remake of 1973. Starring Timothy Olyphant (David Button), the original version is interesting but the remake fail to grab audience interest.
The story begins in a baseball match where a strange guy come in the field with a shot gun held in the middle of the game. David Button as the sheriff response to it and try to stop the strange guy that eventually he knows who he is and unfortunately, David has to shoot him to save his own life. Then, the next killing scene is on the middle of the farm, where a farmer kills his family and end up with blank look like the one before in the middle of the baseball game. Afterwards, David then suddenly found out that the river is contaminated which also is the main supply of the water which later he finds a crashed airplane. Then, the weird day occurs with the some sort of infected human that consumed the contaminated water called "crazies" start to attack without any reasons. Then suddenly, the whole town is abandoned and blasted up with a nuclear which by then the main character "David Button" has escaped the town with his wife.
Audience is just simply thrown in the game without an explanation how to play it. The movie fail to tell a good story so do fail to develop "the crazies" that end up want to act like zombies but come out as a brainless maniac psychopath killer. So, what is the movie about? The most weird thing is only 2 lines in the movie describing why the villager become a brainless maniac psychopath killer. Let me give you a clue " a biological weapon that crashed in the river which eventually consumed by the villager then cause them to either die or go insane". The premises of the story is simple "a couple and his best mate running away from contaminated city together".
Well, it is up to you to give it a go and have another thought about it.
But I am very disappointed with this movie which after I read the version of 1973 in the Wikipedia, I found it a lot more interesting than the remake 2010.
