Matt Smith (sporting a jarring Midwest American accent) and Natalie Dormer (sounding like she stepped directly off the set of “Game of Thrones”) inject what little life there is in Patient Zero, a post-apocalyptic pandemic movie that's more grade-Z than “World War Z.”

An excellent film, the ending is very incomprehensible, I'm waiting for 2 part.

This movie is more thought-provoking than most zombie/walking dead movies. If you ignore its low budget and somewhat rushed presentation, you will come away thinking about what comes next. THAT is a sign **** movie...

Not bad. Not great, but not bad. I found the first half was a bit sluggish and repetitive, but the pace picked up towards the second half. The end of the movie left some loose ends.

Interesting premise ruined by a lackluster script and terrible production values, that even the A-lister cast couldn't save. I love Natalie Dormer since The Tudors, and she acted her heart out here, but couldn't fix the bad writing.

WHile maybe the beginning of it felt like it could turn to be nice action movie, the ending was basically like end of an episode of tv series as it really didnt show any ending. So it made all movie doesnt make sense - in a way that you just dont get told what were the reasons for virus and how it spread and nothing is solved. Feels like last episode of tv series before it gets cancelled and doesnt get solved. Maybe they planned for 2nd movie? I really hope not because it would be pointless

Barely qualifies as a movie. Has no real ending. Story is incomplete/makes very little sense. Obviously aiming for sequels that might explain the plot of this movie, but it's a commercial failure so it won't get any. The 1/10 is purely for Natalie Dormer because she's gorgeous. The movie itself is thoroughly worthy of a zero.
