Surprisingly very good

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2013)

After reading the reviews I anticipated watching this movie with a sense of dread. I was very pleasantly surprised. (unlike Prometheus where I very unpleasantly surprised!) It's not your usual xbox style kill everything in sight blood and guts, pass out from boredom zombie type movie. It's not really a zombie movie. The pace was good. Maybe a tad fast but the movie was 2 hours. 3 hours would have made it epic. It could easily have been 3 hours long. The problem with these movies is they try and fit a lot into a short period of time. Inevitable corners are going to be cut to get to the punchline. The storyline was plausible. Bizarely the only character that didn't make much sense was Brad Pitt's. Not sure who or what the guy was supposed to be. All they had to do was make him some sort of hot shot military scientist or Doctor and voilÃ , everything would have fallen into place. That said if you just except the character and pretend he's a Doctor or something the movie is a very entertaining watch. If you have seen the trailer. You definitely have not seen the movie! Some reviewers try and spot mistakes and errors in the movie or inconsistencies. All movies have this. So what? If it doesn't really affect the story what do I care. It's not an exam. If you want details maybe you should try reading a book...
