World War Zzzzz. Wake me when its over.

Rating: 3/10 (2 November 2013)

I was expecting so much from this. Its had the Hollywood treatment.
Firstly why are "Zombies" making bird noises? In the mass scenes they just look so fake ... good CGI should not be this obvious.
Why does the hero of the story escape every single situation that has the rest of the world deadlocked? Even a plane crash can't stop him. Idiotic.
Apparently you can just waltz up into a plane's undercarriage and simply appear in the main cabin.
Really the Zombies in this film were not real enough to be effective, and the plot is so dumbed-down from the original source so as to be unrecognisable.
Even in the 'tense' scene where Pitt's character sneaks around a Zombie infested lab complex to find a cure wasn't scary. By then I was so bored by it all to even care if he succeeded or not.
It doesn't add anything at all the the genre in fact it makes the whole Zombie thing seem a little tired.
It is totally outdone by a television show (The Walking Dead), which is such a great shame considering the potential of the source material.
