Somewhat of an enjoyable watch but an ageing Ford and an unnecessary sequel do not mix and this is a poor relation to the original trilogy.
The film is very clunky dialogue wise and although full of action it still feels a little disjointed in places.
Harrison Ford is a great actor, however the character should have been retired some time back.

Downloaded this as a free book to try something different and binged the whole trilogy in 2 days! The story has likeable characters and is fast paced. It is not too fantastical as some time travel books can be and the language wasn't too scientific or technical.

I was very late to the party in reading this book and trilogy and all I can ask is why did I not read it before? This was outstanding, and I adored the characters, it does make you really try to choose who Katniss should be with in the love triangle and I could not recommend it more.

This. Book. Broke. Me.. quite possibly my favorite book of all time. The action was intense and present throughout. The strength of the characters I had already fallen in love with was inspiring. And the emotions I felt while reading were ridiculous. I cried and laughed and literally held my breath at points. Fantastic ending to the main trilogy of ACOTAR.

Night, Dawn and Day: The Perfect Trilogy
Day of the Dead- is the final movie in George's trilogy. It started with Night, than Dawn and now Day. The perfect trilogy about surival, surviving, surival of the finest and the livng dead. With great charcters, excellent villians and of course the zombies. In this one you have, Bub the zombie and the evil Capt. Rhodies. So thats a plus.
The plot: Trapped in a missile silo, a small team of scientists, civilians and trigger-happy soldiers battle desperately to ensure the survival of the human race, but tension inside the base is reaching breaking-point, and the zombies are gathering outside.
Romero originally intended the film to be "the Gone with the Wind of zombie films. This forced Romero to scale back his story, rewriting the script and adjusting his original vision to fit the smaller budget.
A total of five scripts were written as Romero wrestled with the film's concepts and the budgetary constraints. The first draft was over 200 pages, which he later condensed to 122 pages. This is the true original script, and to date no copies of it have come to light. This version was likely rejected because UFDC felt it was too expensive for them to produce even with an R rating. Romero subsequently scaled down the scope of this script into a 165-page draft (often erroneously referred to as the original version), then condensed it again to a 104-page draft labeled the 'second version, second draft' in an unsuccessful final attempt to get the story within budget parameters. When this failed, he drastically altered the original story concept and ultimately produced a shooting draft that numbered only 88 pages.
Its a perfect ending for a excellent and phenomenal trilogy.
