I’ve never actually read the book but I hear that this is quite a big disappointment to the book lovers?

I thought it looked okay but the CGI is a bit sketchy. I agree with Sean about the zombies looking like the vampires from “I Am Legend”

I’ll give it a whizz next year as it has potential, certainly looks more epic than your usual zombie tale.

The book was a series of interviews with people from all over the world discussing the zombie crisis.

Soldiers, politicians etc.

It was interesting because it was "realistic" in its own way.

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD::




There were only a couple of characters who reoccurred...one a guy who came up with the plan to beat them, but was now essentially in hiding...distraught about what that plan entailed for civilians...even though it was the only way.

A lot of the interviews and individual stories were interesting...the chief selling points were the realism and the international flavour of it.

Both of these aspects seem to have been entirely dispensed with. We have running zombies in place of shambling wrecks and a typical Hollywood save the day hero approach.

I think it looks OK...but it looks like it has nothing to do with the book at all.

Quoted from Scar Tissue Films I think it looks OK...but it looks like it has nothing to do with the book at all.

A shame, I didn't read the book, but the way you describe it reminds me of the way District 9 was shot, which I loved.

The trailer looked good, IMO. I'll get in line. It seems as though the zombies are a bit super-human... climbing up walls at high speed. And I'll bet they don't address the science behind that.

Doubt I will ever be riveted more on a zombie film than Danny Boyle's efforts.
