There's good news and bad news concerning Rec 4: Apocalypse.
The good news is that thankfully, this is not a "found footage" film, so you won't need anti-nausea medication to watch it. The bad news is that there is an overabundance of hand-held camera footage, which combined with poor lighting and the inevitable lightening like editing, renders much of the climactic action impossible to follow coherently.
This is a pity, as I liked the idea of most of the narrative of this sequel to the first 2 episodes, being confined to an ocean-bound ship, similar to Alien or Diehard.
Unfortunate though, is the manner in which the story unfolds whereby the writers keenness to provide twists should have been moderated. We end up with a plot in which all the major characters, try to shaft one another at some stage and therefore aren't deserving of our sympathies. I just about cheered when the boat's self-destruct button was ultimately pushed, but was totally confused by one of the final scenes, which seemed to show hundreds of zombies still on board. From where did they come? Beats me. Unsurprising therefore, that I think it was sensible to call time on any future sequels.
