Not a bad experience

Rating: 7/10 (22 June 2013)

Saw this today. I was looking forward to it because I really enjoyed both the book and the audio book. Author Max Brooks was inspired by The Good War, an oral history of World War II by Studs Terkel.
Written ten years after the official end of the zombie war by an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission, the book is a series of oral interviews with survivors of the global war against zombies.
The movie takes place at the beginning of the war as a U.N. investigator attempts to locate Patient Zero. This story is not told in the book, and the "solution" postulated by the movie is not, to the best of my recollection, included in the book. But it is a valid theory and a plausible story.
I enjoyed the movie and was not disappointed. There wasn't a lot of gore and in the end the victims of the Z-virus were pitiable.
