Trip Ubusan
tackles the adventure of Lola Tidora, Tinidora, and Nidora to rescue their
grandchild Charmaine (Caprice Cayetano) and to escape the impending zombie
apocalypse. From there they meet a group of survivors who took shelter in a
tourist bus, but they need to find a way to escape the zombies and find a way
to go to the safe zone before they get feasted on by the zombies.
First, the
story was really nice it was well written, well conceptualized, and well
executed, though the story is simple and not too complex still this is not your
typical horror or suspense comedy movie that is shallow and corny. In this
movie you will feel that yes, it is really a serious suspense-comedy movie, it
is following a story and there’s an adventure that will keep you at the edge of
your seats.
The mixture
of action, suspense, and comedy makes Trip Ubusan a roller coaster ride, the
producers and writers said that this is a zombie movie with a heart and yes it
really has a heart present in all of the characters in the movie.
Okay, the
zombies don’t look scary at all make up and prosthetics didn’t have any
additional scare factor, but what made the movie intense isn’t the effects or
the makeup it was the actors who gave intensity to every scene they will let
you feel the adrenaline and laughter at the same time that wouldn’t notice the
lack of the effects or make up.
In the
acting department, Wally Bayola really gave a great performance in this movie,
I sometimes feel that he is no longer Wally Bayola but he is already Lola
Nidora, the character owned him I guess he mastered how he will attack and take
on the character even on the big screen.
Jose Manalo
and Paolo Ballesteros also delivered really gave a fantastic comic skills same
as Wally, the three of them just solidified their comic trio in this movie. I
laughed too hard every scene and I can’t help it, they are really great comedians.
Among the
supporting cast the most remarkable for me is the role of Lovely Abella which is
Abe/Abby, the character was really remarkable, she was able to deliver the
character with the Ilonga accent and all, I love her character.
Lastly, I
would like to praise whoever the fight choreographer in this movie is, the
fight and chase scenes were really good that you wouldn’t even think Jose,
Paolo, and Wally will do those action scenes.
Overall, this movie is really good, it will make you laugh, will make you cry, and will leave you at the edge of your seat, whether you are laughing or you are feeling the intensity of the movie. I could say that this movie is an MMFF caliber film, because if you will watch it you will not feel sorry for you Php250 or so.
