The new number 1 movie on Prime Video, Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End, is an intense zombie thriller that I’m eager to see.
Just a man and his cat facing the (not dead) world.
The most-watched new movie on Prime Video is the Spanish action thriller titled Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End, which has topped the global list of most-viewed content on the platform since its release on October 31. Despite intense competition from nearly 200 new films added this month, it has remained firmly in first place.
Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End tells the story of an outbreak of a rabies-like disease that turns people into aggressive creatures. In this film, Manel, played by Francisco Ortiz, takes refuge in his home with his cat, but he soon finds himself forced to venture out in search of food and to reunite with his family while trying to avoid the rabid zombies.
Although the premise is reminiscent of other films in the genre, those who enjoy thrilling action will find plenty to appreciate in this work. In fact, it has been compared to the successful World War Z, and some viewers have highlighted its narrative quality and character development. The adaptation is based on a novel by Manel Loureiro, and several critics have claimed that it stays true to the original material.
Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End currently holds a 72% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. We will have to wait and see if it becomes one of the best movies on Prime Video, but for now, it seems to offer all the classic elements of a zombie film, in a new context that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats for a couple of hours.
