Little more than an imitation a popular movie with a similar name, released at a similar time, I Am Omega is a fairly dull survival thriller which serves its entertainment competently, but has been done a hundred times before and better.
The beginning is fairly decent, concentrating much on the mental hardship of daily isolation and confusion in the face of being a post-zombie plague survivor, and does a halfway job of appreciating the strain this has on the protagonists’ humanity. Renchard’s journey to salvation is determined but harsh and as per the theme his enemies include other humans as well as the undead (or whatever they are this time).
Although laudably predictable, nothing strikes out as offensively bad, and there’s a half decent amount of work with the set design, makeup, props and so on – not bad considering the film’s tiny budget. Predictable, but watchable.
Rating: 4/10
