Very thin and boring plot

Rating: 4/10 (10 July 2013)

I didn't read the book, so I can't compare it to that. What I hear is that the book is way better. And I can imagine that it is. I watched the movie in 3D, which is a complete waste of money. No need to watch it in 3D. The plot is very thin. So there is a zombie-outbreak and this UN guy (played by Brad Pitt) is for some unclear reason appointed as the guy who must solve the problem. To do that, he travels first to South-Korea and then to Israel. Both trips are completely useless, except to keep the story going and give the UN guy the opportunity to get the solution in his head. This solution is totally irrational unless you have some solid evidence. None is given in the movie and so it is a totally irrational idea coming out of nowhere. Then the UN guy goes to Whales, solves the problem and the movie is over. There is no depth to the characters.
The zombies are not cool in this movie. Compared to the Walking Dead or the George Romero movies, they are just dull. There is no gore in this movie, which makes it even less interesting to watch. Zombies in this movie are just very fast moving, CGI generated swarms of slightly disturbing-looking creatures.
Then: the UN guy can communicate by cell-phone with his wife on board of a ship all through the movie, but he has to travel all the way to South-Korea and Israel to find that the persons who are supposed to know something actually don't know anything. Why not just call by phone as well?
Don't see this movie.
