We talking about movies, right? If yes, then based on all movies I mentioned couple post before - yes, "movie" US army always sucks in the beginning, and always short on solders/jets/tanks etc. But later, when everything almost done cavalry finally comes.

I hope they show the part where the ocean floor is teeming with zombies when a submarine decided to see how the infection had affected marine life.

And the part with the super exclusive island where all the rich and famous paid their way to sanctuary but only to be overrun by zombies who "swam" their way into their shores.

And the part where the military used daschunds strapped with cameras and a specially designed time bombs to sniff out and destroy the remaining hordes of zombies hiding in underground caverns.

The book was awesome.

Not for me. Then again I stopped reading his post after the first six words, then caught his "the book was awesome" comment at the end there and immediately figured out his intent.

I shall serve no spoilers before their time.

It's possible... and I'm just throwing this out there so bear with me.... but it's just possible that the US military, as massive and modern and well-armed as they are today, might not be as ready for a global zombie apocalypse as one might think.

Yes yes, sorry, you are right. I do plan to see WWZ when it comes out. It looks awesome, but of course THEY are just preparing us for the Zombie apocalypse to come despite the warnings from the CDC that it doesn't exist.


Quote:

The CDC, based in the Atlanta area, has previously issued promotional materials on how to survive a zombie attack, but these were all “a tongue in cheek campaign to engage new audiences with preparedness messages,” according to a new post on the agency’s website. Following a series of ghastly incidents in Canada, Florida, New Jersey, Washington and Maryland, the organization was actually forced to address (mostly online) concerns about back-from-the-dead monsters feasting on the flesh of the living.

I'm with you on one thing at least... the part about the truck speeding by and nailing that guy. It's not that I care about the logistics of why it was going so fast or whatever, it's more about the fact that this same scene is in tons of horror films. Girl steps off a curb and gets nailed by a bus that was obviously going 80 mph for some reason, and of course afterwards the bus just keeps on going. Or there's already a bad accident or strange scene on the road. any normal vehicle would either stop or at least slow down, but no, the guy takes a step back and wham, a truck speeds by out of nowhere and creams him. Truck also doesn't stop.

It's gotten so overdone to the point where it's as cliche and the screaming cat popping up in the window sill.

But I'm still giving this movie a chance. It's zombies after all. ZOMBIES!

bronco67 05-24-2013 03:18 PM

Zombies have been getting less scary over the years, whether they do the fast or slow ones. But I have to admit, its freaky to see them organically massing into a giant pile of flailing zombies that moves as one.

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.

globofun 05-25-2013 08:40 AM

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

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.

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?

Phoenix 06-24-2013 10:56 AM

i just bought the book...will read it first then see the movie :)

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)

Do share once you know. :thumbsup

Freax 06-24-2013 01:57 PM

Cool movie! I like it...its nothing you have to think about after the movie is finished. Pure entertainment.

Maybe we need a Hardcore Porn Version of that?!!

At 0:17 the bike seems to be going really fast despite the fact that it has a short time to get to that speed and that it is driving between cars. Ok, the bike can easily get up to speed and drive that way, but it "feels" funny.

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 :2 cents:

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

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.

Thanks. Now you gotta go and ruin it for everyone else.

Bet you like telling kids there is no Santa and the tooth fairy looks exactly like Mom.
