Not like the book, but great entertainment after all

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2013)

OK, the story in this film is nothing like the book. Does this mean it is a bad movie? The book is still fresh in my memory. I just read it last week. But like I, everybody who has read the book understands that the book is too hard to turn a movie by line to line. The book and the movie are practically two different stories. Maybe that is a good thing. I waited to see something familiar from the book, but perhaps it is better this way. This is not a bad movie at all. Even the story is quite coarse and ending is downright lame it doesn't bother too much. Good entertainment after all. This movie is not typical zombie movie. Lack of all grotesque mauling and killing is missing here. Reason for that must be movie huge production budget. It just simply needs to get enough viewers to cover at least that massive production value. U.S. PG13 sounds much rational than local Finnish age limit of 16. Movie is racy catastrophe movie, which is at best with it sneak and nightmare crawling scenes. Special effects are great and some of them are quite clever. 3D is quite unnecessary although it surprise you few time to splash movies incident to you face. After all it is an OK catastrophe movie. With better ending it could end up to five stars, now I will give it four stars.
