In 2026 there is a zombie outbreak. The government wants to kill the infected and isolate the uninfected. There is a group known as "the resistance" who wants to create a cure or vaccine, terms they use interchangeably. There is a 15 or 16-year-old girl who is resistant and they want to take her to her rich father and destroy an antenna or something. And then maybe create a vaccine or cure because the government can't or won't.

The plot wasn't tight. The acting and dialogue were sad. Plastic guns shooting CG fire. I noticed in one scene the rear passenger interior light was on. They must have had the driver's side door opened when the shot. Next time, take the bulb out. Pay attention to detail.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

This being a zombie movie, of course I had to sit down and watch it. And the movie does have an above mediocre rating - as of May 13th 2020 - here on IMDb, so it couldn't be all that bad. Right?

Wrong!

This movie was a swing and a miss. And I have no idea what went on when writer and director Guy Bleyaert when this movie was written, much less understand how it actually made it to the screen.

The idea might have been well-intended and worked well enough on paper, but translated to the screen, it just didn't go all that well. Personally, I didn't care one ounce about the story, especially because it was less than mediocre script writing, so the movie wasn't really off to a great start.

As for the acting in the movie. Well, let's just say that you will not find yourself in for any award winning performances that will bedazzle you or have you riveted to the edge of the seat.

The movie just lost me entirely when the zombies were introduced. It was little more than people with fuzzy hair and really lousy Halloween costume slapped on their faces. It was atrocious. And that was actually what made me give up on the movie. I just couldn't take that serious.

My rating of "Transit 17" is a generous two out of ten stars. At least they tried to make a zombie movie, eh?

As a low budget filmmaker, I know the hardships and limitations when there are limited funds. The actors I have in my series Dead Nightmare on YouTube were free and are better than the ones in this cluster of a film... We're talking poor pacing, poor acting, & the plot/story takes forever to get into action... The backdrops, equipment, & wardrobe was cool... but that's it. If you love low budget B films, the you can give it a whirl. Otherwise, stay clear.
