A great zombie-action flick for the family. Stunning visual effects, but there could have been more blood.

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2013)

Okay, i know that if they made the movie REALLY realistic, as in put more blood, then it wouldn't have received its PG13 rating, but who cares! There was honestly too less blood. I'm not a sadist or anything, but seriously.
Personally, i haven't actually read the book, so i'm gonna base my review in that point of view. Was this movie original? Not really. I've seen other zombie movies where the virus originated from rabies. One cool fact however was that once bitten, you'll be turning into a crazed carnivore in 12 seconds. So at least the massive spreading of the virus is justifiable. Was this movie unique? Well, yes. It certainly had a different approach on the 'cure'. It had these brilliant ideas on how to combat zombie bites, So yes it was unique.
With a budget of $190 000 000, the director certainly made use of every penny, and you can see it for yourself in the movie. Brad Pitt put on a demanding display (his usual self) and his character certainly teaches us values which even the youngsters of today's generation could pick up. I wouldn't say that the storyline is predictable, but it was to a certain extent unrealistic. But the flow of events was really great that you'd only be feeling the unrealism of the plot after the movie. In which case, you should watch it twice.
I have to say, for a PG13 movie, it should be the best zombie movie so far.
