world war z

[A.J. Holst]

Just watched it on Netflix.

I hope when the zombies show up they are slower like in zombie land.

Those fast zeds in wwz are scary.

[maroonandwhite]

Yeah I saw it in the theater but saw Netflix had the unrated version. May give it another looksy for extra footage.

[frankmako]

they moved to fast in the movie for me.  i like the slow ones better.  don't have to lead the slow ones as much. 

[daddyo]

They're fast in 28 Days Later too.

[Troutburger]

Fast zombies suck. No reason a zombie should exceed their living coefficient... I definitely prefer the slow variety.

[Mike.357]

there is no defense against them things.

 

I hope when the apocalypse happens they are walkers not runners

Not to disrupt this thread, as I also logically fear fast moving zombies.....but I could not finish watching that movie. It was a disappointment to me...

When I watched the movie in theaters in went into it knowing the only thing that the book and movie shared was the title. I enjoyed the movie, just not as much as the book. Fast zombies would suck!

[Mike.357]

I found the movie entertaining and visually stimulating.

 

I have never read the book but would like to.

I never read the book.... I just guess I either look at hypothetical situations the wrong way or according to my twisted view of human nature. In the movie it just seems that when SHTF, people ignored malum in se laws like theft withough thinking about it, but malum prohibitum laws they would hesitate...If anything, I would expect this to be the other way around.

 

I also just hated the pacing. The pacing drove me crazy.

It reminds me of WWII specials on the history channel in which folks from that era and conflict recount their experiences; only this is a zombie war. It seems designed for people who like zombie survival flicks and history... like gun people. It's really hard to put down. I read the second half of the book in one sitting.

Yeah, book is cool in that you can read each "report" in 5-10 minute sessions. That is, like you say, if you can limit yourself to that. ;)

The audio book is outstanding

I don't think that's just a movie thing.  It's deliberate conditioning.  

 

Mala in se:  "Hey, that rich family left a pie on the windowsill to cool.  I'm hungry.  Food is a right.  I'm taking it"  No problem there....  Hey, they're hungry.

 

Mala prohibitum:  "Hey!  Is that a masheeeeen guunnnn?!?!  You must be one of those crazy people!"  Uh oh!  Call da law!

 

Haven't seen the movie yet, though.  Want to, just haven't been able.

I read a preview of it on my phone a while back, It was engrossing to say the least.

 

I have been watching The World Wars on the History channel, it makes me never want to turn it off.

 

To me the the best part of the movie was the way the zombies would just ant pile obstacles  to get over them.

In the book, I believe the only example of that happening over a barrier was in the Israeli situation, though it also happens to some extent on battlefields where they pile up as they are killed.

 

But all more slowly -- the Fast Zed Syndrome was added for the flick. In the already nonsensical "logic" of Zombieism, it really makes little "sense" that a reanimated corpse would be faster than it was in real life after all.

 

In 28 Days After and 28 Weeks After, they aren't really zombies, but just living people infected by the rage virus.

Seems to me the damn zombies immediately into the greatest athletes ever ... craziness!!! Sure hope they are slower, dumpy-er and lazy! otherwise there ain no getting away

[musicman]

Watching it on Netflix now... yea... I ain't got enuf gunz fo dat!

[Mark A]

Well, I finally watched this last night. Shew... Hate me some fast zombies...

 

I was actually surprised how much I liked the movie...

[tonye]

i have read the book and seen the movie a couple of times, my take on the movie is that its just another take of someone who survived telling their own story.
