You need to ask yourself one important question if you\u2019re thinking about seeing \u201cPride and Prejudice and Zombies,\u201d the newest film by director\/writer Burr Steers that opened on Feb. 5. Do you like or even care about Jane Austen\u2019s classic 1813 story, \u201cPride and Prejudice?\u201d If your answer is a resounding \u201cno\u201d or an \u201cabsolutely not,\u201d you may have trouble wading through this film. The movie is definitely good but requires a certain amount of love for the original source material to enjoy it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cPride and Prejudice and Zombies\u201d is based on a 2009 novel that author Seth Grahame-Smith created by writing zombie scenes and bits of plot into Austen\u2019s novel. It\u2019s practically a co-authorship, although a very strange one.<\/p>\n

This film actually follows most of the original story\u2019s major beats, with whole scenes and lines of dialogue taken directly from Austen. The only big difference are the zombie additions.<\/p>\n

In 19th century, zombie-invested England, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet (Charles Dance and Sally Phillips) have trained their five daughters to be combat specialists. Elizabeth Bennet (Lily James) is more interested in being a good fighter than getting married, much to the annoyance of her mother, and initially takes no interest in the mysterious Colonel Darcy (Sam Riley).<\/p>\n

The strong-minded and capable Elizabeth catches Darcy\u2019s eye, but Elizabeth finds the wealthy Darcy, an expert zombie killer, abrasive and cruel. As the zombie war comes to a head, however, romance may be in Elizabeth\u2019s future after all and there may be more to Darcy than meets the eye.<\/p>\n

\u201cPride and Prejudice and Zombies\u201d makes a smart choice when it chooses to treat the love story and all the character relationships sincerely. There is no winking at the camera. As far as the cast is concerned, this is a straight dramatic romance that just so happens to have zombies seamlessly woven into it.<\/p>\n

When you get right down to it, the zombies aren\u2019t even that important. They do effect the plot and a number of scenes involve guns, swords and zombie violence. The action never goes on that long, though, and our focus is quickly brought back to our characters. Those of us who enjoy the Austen romance may or may not be bothered by this, but those coming for the zombies may be disappointed, especially in the mostly zombie-light first half.<\/p>\n

Polished performances make this a great retelling of a classic love story, though Darcy takes too long to show his better qualities, which are less endearing than they could be and he comes off a bit unlikable. Therefore, his love for Elizabeth comes slightly out of left field and doesn\u2019t seem entirely genuine. We\u2019re not rooting for the relationship as much as the movie wants.<\/p>\n

Some viewers have said the story diverges from its Grahame-Smith source material in the movie\u2019s second half. The plot focuses more on the zombies and drifts further away from Austen\u2019s novel, which the 2009 Grahame-Smith story did not.<\/p>\n

Book purists may be unhappy, but I found it a fun, if a little unsatisfying, divergence. The film adds material concerning a possible zombie victory and the coming of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which would signal the end of days for humanity.<\/p>\n

This subplot is not bothersome at conception but in execution and resolution. The Four Horsemen, while foreshadowed well, don\u2019t really effect the overall plot much and their plotline is never clearly resolved.<\/p>\n

The underuse of the horsemen in the story and their plot that doesn’t really go anywhere makes us suspect the film has been structured as the possible start of a franchise. If so, the Four Horsemen storyline is handled poorly, comes off as unneeded and detracts from the film\u2019s otherwise nicely done climax.<\/p>\n

Those expecting a non-stop blood bath will be disappointed with \u201cPride and Prejudice and Zombies.\u201d If you carry some affection for the Austen book or any of its straight adaptions, however, and you don\u2019t mind a supernatural, action twist, you\u2019ll find something to like in this modern and entertaining literary retelling.<\/p>\n
