The concept of Colony was really interesting. Its main strength was the fresh idea of how the zombies evolve and keep getting updated, which made it stand out from typical zombie movies.
Of course, it's not on the same level as Train to Busan. That film wasn't just about zombies—it built a powerful emotional connection through the relationship between the father and daughter, making the audience genuinely care about the characters.
Colony also tried to create an emotional element through the brother-sister relationship, but it wasn't developed as deeply, so it didn't have the same impact. The movie's primary focus seemed to be showcasing its unique zombie concept rather than building strong character arcs.
I think Colony would have worked even better as a series instead of a movie. With multiple episodes, there would have been enough time for proper character development, stronger emotional connections, and a more satisfying exploration of its unique zombie concept.
