I'm kind of down on this movie because it looks like they only took the name of the book. It should have been a TV series or mini series, because that's the only thing that could do justice to such a deep, expansive novel.

You guys have got me curious now, I must read this book.

Fifty shades of zombie!

By the way I read the book after I Am Legend. Book is better.

Book or movie? I only aware of one movie and one book. Movie makers completely changed everything.

Always a good sign.

decayy · 05-27-2013, 08:22 AM

it will be great to see that movie in cinema... ^^

cthulhu_waves · 06-04-2013, 04:07 AM

Reviews have started to come in.

http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/...asp?FID=137228

So I guess the submarine scene won't be happening in this movie.

Big fan of the Book and the full cast audio version. I know seeing the trailer this film IS NOT the book. I will still be going to see the film as I like zombie films.

Just really do NOT understand why they did not take the full cast audio and use that format with epic flash backs showing the plight around the world.

I wonder if De Caprio (if he had won when going for this franchise) would have been more faithful.

Just such a shame the author Max Brooke's, has distanced himself from this film. That says a LOT right there.

CDSmith · 06-04-2013, 07:05 AM

The pre-buzz on this film is awesome and hilarious. Makes me look forward to seeing it that much more.

"It's going to rock!"
"It's going to suck!"
"The author doesn't support it"
"Fuck the author!"

I predict this film, which is thus far a money pitt, (pun intended, ha) will pass the $400 mil invested and actually end up making money, and then they'll absolutely clean up with the subsequent vid game sales. I further predict there will be a sequel.

webgurl · 06-04-2013, 07:43 AM

Yes! I like this type of genre of movies....

Well based on the Empire online review, it appears that the first movie is set up to have sequels.

CDSmith · 06-05-2013, 07:44 AM

The critics, well many of them, mostly glorified movie bloggers, are panning it so far.

I reserve judgement.

CDSmith · 06-24-2013, 10:43 AM

So what's the verdict? Anyone here see it yet?

Although I'm pretty sure that even a hundred people could say they hated it and I'd still watch it and judge for myself. There hasn't been an action/sci-fi/horror movie that has piqued my pre-interest this much in a long time.

Hopefully that proves true. You can never have too much zombie content.

I really liked it was better than i was expecting good story line

I see a few people say its setup for more but what makes you think that?

I'm quite interested to know if the movie followed the book at all, or how close or far apart are they, and which was better. (It's usually the book that is far better, but you never know)

At 0:19 the establishing shot shows they are on a very long road but the shot at 0:25 clearly shows he is on a short road. There is a building right behind brad pit that is 4 to maybe 6 car lengths away.

Then at 0:37 the cop gets hit by a garbage truck which could never have got up to speed in that short distance, and never makes a sound, and should have been seen in the shot at 0:34. The continuity established by the cop yelling "Get back in your car right now" makes the garbage truck "appear out of nowhere".

Edited this way as a trailer-only is really sloppy and cheap. I hope the movie isn't done like this and I hope this scene is much better.

I am done nit-picking for today.

Better trailer here:

I liked how they were in the middle of a traffic jam and a truck hit the bike cop out of no where. Kinda retarded

Watched this movie on the weekend and really enjoyed it, yes it's a bit stupid but I thought it was worth watching.

crockett · 06-24-2013, 05:03 PM

Saw it last night.. It was OK but the ending was predictable. Not to mention that the zeds could smash any door except the one when the chick and scientist retreated back to the who building.

Several pans there, but nice to see plenty of positive comments as well. I rarely read reviews from critics, largely because so many of them come off as idiots in my opinion, that it just ends up annoying me.

'Movie critic' --- that has to be the suckiest job ever. Pay is probably good for some, but would you really tell a chick you're dating "I'm a critic"? You'd probably never get laid, ha ha... but I digress...

Anyway they could have given this film a complete ass-raping of a rating and I'd still see it. The apocalyptic/post-apocalyptia/zombo genres fascinate me to no end.

CDSmith · 06-25-2013, 11:31 AM

Best price I could find in the book so far: $7.74

http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9... 1cMgodX1oAuA

In that same search result I found this: World War Z - Movie vs Book - Four Major Differences

Quote:

Carnahan's pass scrapped the book's "oral history" structure of a collection of first-person interviews and focused on a single former United Nations field specialist and family man named Gerry Lane, who is not a character in Brooks's novel (well, he kind of is, but we'll get to that later). The movie became an action adventure about a man fighting off zombie hordes as he tries to reunite with his wife and kids.

The thing with rotten tomatoes is, it doesn't matter really what any one individual critic says. You're looking at the meta data. I look at that meter as a general consensus of a random group of people, not nitpicky critics.

bronco67 · 06-25-2013, 06:29 PM

I saw it today. Not the best movie, but I found some of the parts really intense. I like the "slow" part at the lab, even though it made the movie feel like it fizzled at the end considering how frantic the first 2/3 was.

I bit one of my fingernails too far during that plane scene. Ouch that shit hurts now.

I am well into the book right now...it is awesome.
I will finish it shortly sadly, but i doubt the movie could cover all this.

I think it will end up being a few movies

The movie has almost nothing to do with the book. Maybe in the vaguest of spirits it resembles it, but they just took the title and did their own thing.

I think each needs to be looked at as their own separate piece of unrelated zombie works.

While reading the book, but I remember thinking "this would make a great HBO mini series."

JockoHomo · 06-25-2013, 08:19 PM

Zombies bore the fuck out of me. All one has to do is to look at the physics of movement of the human body to understand that rotting muscle is not capable of the mechanics necessary for moving the skeletal framework...not even in the slow lumbering manner zombies are typically portrayed.

Not only that but the sensory organs such as the ability to see to target prey (living humans) is dependent on working eyes which work in conjunction with a working brain...neither of these zombies have.

Simply ruins the entire concept of the zombie movie for me I am afraid.

cthulhu_waves · 06-26-2013, 07:52 AM

I agreed with the critics, the movie was action-packed but it was pretty hollow. The book truly is superior. I read somewhere that from the start, the movie wasn't going to be an adaptation but they kept that part from the public, and Max Brooks allegedly wasn't closely involved with the production.

I like to think that Zombies have their body-state "frozen" when they become infected and it's over a period of time that their body becomes damaged by the elements, disease, bumping into stuff etc, until the "virus", or whatever agent is used to turn them into the Zombie, itself dies/fades and rapid decomposition starts to take place.

If you look at the "Zombies" in 28 Days Later (ja, I know some don't think of them as Zombies) for example they are infected with a virus that causes them to go berserk, so they could last a pretty long time with full motor functions and be able to sprint etc. If you then look at Romero's idea of Zombies from Dawn of the Dead they get infected and over a period of time their bodies start to degenerate into the typical "zombie" look.

Having said all that, it's a Zombie movie, best not to over-think it and just enjoy the action

They are far from slow in World War Z, their muscles don't have time to rot and they have barely functioning eyes. So you should love this one.

No, what's ruining it for you is all that overthinking you're doing. You need to put all that physiological bullshit out of your mind and just enjoy it for what it is. That being fantasy entertainment.

Fantasy.

CDSmith · 06-30-2013, 10:25 PM

Opening weekend World War Z tops $250 million.

http://www.boxoffice.com/latest-news

I can remember when a big movie's opening w/e took in over $25 mill and it was a big deal.

bronco67 · 06-30-2013, 10:30 PM

The more I think about the last third of the movie, the more I like it. They solved the problem in a smart way, not with endless shooting hordes of zombies -- like any other summer blockbuster would do.

lagcam · 07-01-2013, 08:39 AM

I have seen it and there are some incredible scenes. No spoilers from me, (if there are any left) but you shouldn't be in a thread talking about a movie if you haven't seen it and don't want spoliers.

All I can say is I can see where the $400 million was spent. Amazing special effects.

Yes, but I hear that much of the overbudget stems from callbacks, rewrites and reshooting several parts. Without all that weighing it down the cost of this movie could have possibly been at least half of what it ultimately ended up costing.

It'll still turn a sizeable profit I'm sure.

Granted, the film still has a long way to go before it reaches profitability. Vanity Fair's article about the production estimates the final budget at $225 million, and that would be before whatever the studio spent on marketing and distribution.

Current Box Office:$123.7M

Is that the USA or N American-only figure?

Because as I've already posted, boxoffice.com has reported that the total revenue on this movie world-wide was just over $250 mill their opening weekend.

They'll be profitable in no time I'm sure. Plus once they launch the video game the sky's the limit.

Some of those damn vid games earn more than blockbuster movies these days.
