    Hmm I liked the movie! I didn't know there was a book, and obviously didn't read it too. There were a few moments that were ridiculous, but the overall effects and visuals were great. Lots of tension. It gave me an urge to play L4D2!

    just seen it in the theater with the 3d stuff. really enjoyed it but I haven't read the books, so I was not expecting my interpretation of something I read. it's a just really good action movie imho, cool shots all over the place and (for an action movie) a solid story (yes yes, nothing like the book whatever). so I'm actually glad I went

    oh yeah, like D3ads wrote, the whole Israël afair was kinda off with the rest of story. also, the zombies climbing over the huge wall and getting the chance to form a massive stairs of bodies while choppers are shown patrolling the walls continuesly in broad daylight..? come on..

    also: not sure what the virus was all about.. was expecting some explaination but that never happened. then, boom. the end.

    still though, better then prometheus.

    Exactly the same here. I watched in 3D.. And differently from other 3D movies I've watched, there were many shots that made good use of the technology. I hope the industry keeps getting better in justifying the 3D, instead of just using it in a roller coaster scene

    While people keep going to the movies just for the coke and popcorn we'll only have films like this.

    I'm reading the book now and it's light years better than the movie. It's so misleading that this movie is even called World War Z because as others have said they share almost nothing in common.


    The book is a lot more about how different parts of the world reacted to the zombie infestation, while the movie is just an over the top action flick with supermen zombies. One thing that is not clear in the movie is that the story is an alternate history one, which makes it a lot more interesting than similar zombie stories (for example, in the book there's the palestine people finally have their state and a civil war is going on in Israel during the outbreak etc).


    Anyway, had they followed the book more closely this would be one hell of an original movie... but they decided to go the safe route instead since they were spending so much money on this (kinda like I Am Legend, and they completely fucked up the ending to please the sheeple audience).

    Why is everyone so surprised that the film is poor and is nothing like the book? It's hollywood, they have to make it accessible to your average person. And they consider the average person as intelligent as a trash can that feeds itself popcorn. And what was the last summer "blockbuster" that made you think? They are always bang bang boom boom.


    Personally, I'm waiting for hollywood to make Deus Ex into a film. How fucking terrible would that be.

    I bought a ticket to the movie, walked inside the cinema. After 10 minutes i walked out, and got my money back.
