dissatisfied customer, 2009-01-07
the ad for this dvd did not state that a HD dvd player was required to view it and I have been getting a major run around with Amazon.com trying to obtain a satisfactory resolution. I am a long-time and good customer and deserve a prompt and satisfactory resolution.

Good If You Like Zombie Movies, 2008-12-23
This is definitely a different movie than the original Dawn of the Dead, but that's perfectly okay. It's a movie that you'll probably like if you enjoy zombie/gory films. However, in my opinion, it does slightly suffer from some special effects that are a little too over-the-top/unrealistic and some "cheesy" dialogue and (occasionally) acting. Definitely a movie worth seeing at least once.

Awesome remake - Great Quality HD-DVD, 2008-12-23
There isn't much to say except the fact that this movie is a great remake. I've seen this movie plenty of times before, but never in High-Definition. br / br /I have the Xbox 360 HD DVD player that I bought for real cheap awhile ago and am glad I did. There are a good core of movies out on HD DVD that are super cheap now and this is one of them. The quality is superb and the flick (once again) is awesome. br / br /If you enjoyed the original, like zombie movies and have an HD DVD player, pick this one up!

On Par with the Original!, 2008-12-20
Yes, the original is still better, but director Zack Snyder does a pretty good job making the remake almost as good as the one that started it all. br / The movie starts off with Ana (Sarah Polley) leaving a day at the hospital; she's a nurse. She goes home to her loving husband, and even talks to her neighbor, Vivian, who is just learning how to skate. She goes to bed. The next morning, something goes into her house. It's Vivian. And she's pretty hungry. From that point Ana is thrown into a world were the dead walk the earth, very hungry. After she watches her husband die and come back, she escapes out of her bathroom window, and runs out of her house to see her normal suburban neighborhood thrown into chaos. She drives away, as helicopters fly overhead, cars crash into each other, people beg for help, and the dead, whom can now run, stalk the living. br / br / The movie is relentless, and goes for shocks rather than Romero's version. As the survivors head for an abandoned mall, nobody is safe. From the time the beginning news clips start rolling, you know this ones going for scares. The only two funny parts are towards the end, where Chips (watch the movie to understand) is lowered down, and where they're dragging the bitten man in the sewers and he's shooting at the zombies in a ridiculous position. br / br / The one problem with this movie is that the middle starts to fall apart, simply from lack of characterization; there are too many characters! Towards the second half off the movie though they start to get picked off, and the movie rolls on to its conclusion. br / br / I know I'm not giving much of a summary here, but I don't simply because the movie is too good to give away. After the excellent beginning, the movie is splashed with shocks chock full of scares. br / br / The extras are excellent too, with news reels that explain more, and a "documentary" that the guy in the gun store filmed. br / br /In the end Dawn of the Dead is highly recommended, along with the original, Dawn of the Dead (Divimax Edition) 5 out of 5 stars, or a grade A-. br /
