The Girl with All the Gifts is a good movie of the walker/infected genre - a fungus spreads out in the world and transforms the humans to flesh craving numb-heads. We follow some scientists, a girl who has maybe the potential to cure the world and some soldiers in a world out of control. Well done are some scenes and settings which depict the feel of a desolated world very good, also we get some iconic scenes with the transforming crazies. What else!? Gemma Arterton and Glen Close can't act bad.
But I have to say the last quarter of the movie including the solution was a little bit too much of a let down to me. Also there are a few scenes in the end that just don't work form me, for example the scene where the little girl defends Gemma and a soldier against a horde of hungry crazy kids is so out of place and bad executed I couldn't help myself and felt embarrassed for the cast, for the director, for my self watching this - that scene (I guess you will understand me if you watch/watched the movie) is laughable, a total mess (as the girl with all the gifts grunted against the other kids I didn't know if I should laugh or cry out for mercy). So The Girl with All the Gifts is a good movie regarding the first three quarters, after that the movie sadly loses its quality - rapidly. Final words: 28 Days Later is still the supreme master of the fast-running-whatever-flesh-craving-maniacs-genre. This one is a nice try, but not more. First 3 quarters get 7-8 from me, the last quarter only 3 makes 6 in my own bad math.
