This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a disappointment ! The first movie of the saga left me breathless. It had well constructed action, a good choice of the style with the camera, and some story behind... the second one kept up and added a couple of details... but this one is a complete failure and a joke. B movie (or Z) exuding all over. Predictable, without style, and no story at all when it is supposed to be the genesis. Seriously this is the genesis ? But one thing above all: you have to maintain a criteria and stick to it the entire film, if the zombies can run and be fast, then be it !! What you cannot do is make them slow and clumsy whenever it suits you, that's called cheating. There's is laws and science in all that zombie stuff or I believe so.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, the first movie was good, have some mistakes but have this little touch that do that people have much scare moments, after we watch REC 2, and have other mistakes, but happen the same case, and now [REC] 3: Genesis, and what happen? Is an awful movie, don't have the same style that the other two [REC] movies had, the result of this movie is a big disaster, have much comic moments -or the move is really bad, and I'm laughing ?- the trama have a potential for be an amazing movie, but the development is really terrible. The performances are bad, extremly bad. [REC] 3: Genesis is the worst chapter of this saga.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. you basically watch this movie because A)the first two were awesome and B) there is a bride with a chainsaw on the cover. Well it doesnt follow the same style as the first so that is disapointing and there is only one scene involving the chainsaw the movie is a bit of a let down. There isnt much else to recommend about this movie besides that one scene and maybe the ending.....hopefluly they learn from their mistakes.… Expand

This movie is no real rec movie. It sucks in so many ways. No motion sickness camera style in a rec movie?! This is a really bad trashmovie with some very good splatter-effects. Okay and it has rec in the name.

Awesome First Person View Horror Movies. Must watch on Netflix or DVD. Enjoy the cast and the production. Great CGI. Not sure why there is always hate for these type of films; seems that most review user reviews are from non horror zombie fans.

Whilst this removes any hope of horror that the film may have wanted it brings REC 3 into its own niche in the series. Clara and Koldo are as any couple should be, madly in love. However when the infection as seen in the previous films enters their wedding reception it becomes a fight for their lives and a very well written romance film rather than a horror. This may put some fans and potential fans off it but if you overlook the massive change of heart it has and how well implemented it is you begin to see it not as a REC film but as something that wants to be its own thing. The only gripe I have with the film is that it does have handheld bits then franticly interchanges between the cinematic and handheld at one point in the film and also it is too blood soaked, removing the sense of realism the first 2 films had. REC 3 is a romance film with zombies, not a horror film.… Expand

It's more like a parody. A gory darkly humorous slasher movie with a couple of links with the previous REC movies. To be clear I do like gory movies. I like blood. Bodies being chainsawed in half and brains being splattered over walls. But I was expecting a movie like REC 1 and 2. It started off pretty interesting. It somehow felt relieving being out of that dusty apartment. Cheering people celebrating at a wedding party. Chaotically filmed with a handycam again. You'll love it or you'll hate. I love it. But what I hated was the fact that after about 15 minutes the handy-cam was put down. Right at the moment I got ready for the expected rollercoaster ride. Bam. Bye REC. To me the strength and charm of the previous REC movies was the realism. To me the effect is being destroyed by turning it into a "regular" movie. If only the movie would have had a totally different title and had nothing to do with the previous movies i'd probably like it. But as a REC movie I think it kinda sucks. I didn't mind watching it and I did have a laugh so now and then, but those moments where overwhelmed by opposite reactions.… Expand

Se aleja mucho del estilo de las dos primeras películas y en general es completamente descabellada, pero en lo personal eso no me molestó y resultó ser bastante entretenida para mi.

I really cannot understand why the director of the (Rec) series would want to take it's reputation of being one of the few remaining and well respected zombie horror movie series and butcher it with this awful movie. Honestly it's the sameI really cannot understand why the director of the (Rec) series would want to take it's reputation of being one of the few remaining and well respected zombie horror movie series and butcher it with this awful movie. Honestly it's the same quality as a crappy straight to dvd zombie movie. They made so many dumb changes with this entry. It's the first entry to not use the found footage, and whether or not that's a huge flaw will depend on personal preference, I'm personally tired of that now overused style, but would gladly take it back if it will bring the next movie back to it's horror roots. It's not the least bit scary or serious. Zombies in the previous (Rec) movies were extremely fast, in this their slow and clumbsy taking away sense of fear. The movie is also filled with what I believe to be attempts at humor, but are so stupid they wont even make you chuckle. I was frequently thinking to myself "Really? Did they really just put that into this movie?". (Rec) 3: Genesis destroys what was once a good Zombie series. To the other fans out there just skip this and pray the announced 4th movie avoids being anything like this peice of crap. But hey I do jave to give them credit for putting in a decent love story in there, but seriously though still avoid and keep those good memories of (Rec) 1 & 2.… Expand
