BRAIN!! BRAIN!!...hmm...nope none of that.

After having seen the trailer i expected at least some blood and gore. Super fast malicious zombies chasing down people and eating them and so on etc. You know-- real zombie stuff. Unfortunately they decided to go down a different path--not a bad one but a different one. I wont reveal too much of the movies content for what regards the story but I will say that it's focused on the aspect of finding the cure and then save the world so to speak rather than focusing on the survivors perspective that we are so used to. Instead of seen Simon Pegg killing zombies in a pub with his friend we see the story from the G.I's perspective that saved them all in the end. Everything leading up to finding a way to fight back etc. Its good and different though It could in my opinion have included a bit more blood and gore. The trademark stuff that makes a zombie film a zombie film...BRAINS!!
Aside from the story we have some pretty decent special effects here. Small time explosions from cars to a nuclear bomb being detonated.
There are a couple of ...say jump scare moments in this but those type of events aren't taken into account all that much. They are showing us the face of zombies BEFORE they have had their way with their victims so don't expect much more than a dead rotting looking guy. No real Day of the dead stuff here. If you're a zombie fan this wont rock your world but it could work as a nice change of perspective and story. If you're a SUPER zombie fan like myself you probably wont enjoy this all that much aside from the cool moments where zombies here charge and stock up each other creating impossible and crazily awesome ways of finding a way to reach the living! 6 out of 10 guys. A pretty good movie but not all that much typical zombie stuff included that the most of us would prefer.
