World War Z movie..

[commissarmoody]

To bad this move isn't an actually zombie film, and is pretty much "2012" with the CGI zombies replacing the ocean and melting ice caps.  I will watch it, but it will have to wait for when its played on TV or torrent.

And your missing the whole point of group dynamics, if you don't understand why people make fun of other nerds. Its because they are not part of your group. That is all the resin you need. Not my tribe so they must be strange and ridiculed.
Human nature.

I know but it always feels a bit comical  .

I said I don't understand... maybe you could educate me then I may want to be part of the group?

I haven't ridiculed anyone .

(I like Hello Kitty and wasn't using it as a stick to beat you with ).

I think it is a lot of different things rolled into one.

You have the whole old folklore and mythological 'living dead' and horror aspect to it all.

More recently it has been coupled with a virus outbreak kind of end of the world scenario - so you do get movies which feel more like a disaster movie than what people would see as a typical 'zombie' movie.

It's the age old survive against the odds. But the thing with the likes of big asteroids/meteors stories (Armageddon) or any other disaster movie, is that the tend to centre around the people that fix/save everything - or at least other key characters in the story.

Things like The Walking Dead are truly more post event, a bit like 28 days later. Again you could remove the zombies and just have it as a killer plague of some sort such as in The Stand. It then becomes purely about human survival on the individual scale and then in terms of humans becoming the species threatened with extinction.

There is always a constant search for an adversary of some sort that can provide humans with a good run for their money, zombies tend to be a result of a human cock up of some sort and so I guess it means they can do a post apoc movie without suggesting someone else is responsible for the apocalypse.

However, that said, there are probably more incredibly poor zombie movies than there are good ones.

I liked it so much more than I thought I would...but I still like my slow rambling flesh eaters better, but all in all a good movie

I'd say there is as much gore and destruction in zombie genre as there is in any other wargaming genre. Actually, I'd say its even worse where people game historical, as that is what has actually happened. But if you look on it from that perspective, I guess only good genre would be train modeling. I couldn't say what drags me into it...perhaps the "coolness" factor. I also like strategy and FPS games, yet I don't even like guns IRL and find using them for sports downright boring.

Just watched it last night. Was good. Very edge of seat movie.  Convinced the wife to go (brad Pitt and all). She hated it, but it was her first zombie movie. 

Saw a lot from the book in it. Was pleasantly pleased with the movie.

[Lowtardog]

It was ok shame not following the same storyline as the book but then again it would be a lot slower. I had heard from my daughter that they are looking at the next film already as she has started looking at agencies for extras

Only bit was the squeaky bike which I found a little silly surely someone has WD40 or oil with all the fire power

No politics please.

I didn't see politics in the comment, just current affairs.

Gracias,

Sorry, but what did you see from the book? The mention about the "black tar" from the supposed "Patient Z" on South Korea? The bit about Israel letting everyone entering their borders and preparing themselves before the other countries? That were the only bits I saw that were close to the book...

Don't get me wrong, I like the movie but it should be named something else - a friend of mine suggested "WWBP"   

[Sardoo]

Just saw the movie today. Dragged the wife along even though she hates zombie movies - I suspect Brad Pitt may have just tipped the balance for her.

Verdict? I loved it!

OK it wasn't like the book at all but maybe the book isn't filmable so the filmakers did what they could.

The Jerusalem bit was great and I'll not be flying Belarus airlines anytime soon but all in all thoroughly enjoyable with lots of 'squeaky bum' moments to make you jump!

Went to see it tonight.  Really enjoyed it. It's not, as has been lyrically waxed to death, really based on the book but it is very dramatic, the character zekes are very well thought through and even the bits I didnt think I'd like, (zombie Flood, zombie monkey chains up the wall etc)  were very dramatic,  with some great jump/edge of the seat moments...

All in all very engaging, here's to more

Must have been one hell of a dump? Danger to shipping that one.
