Saw this with the gf yesterday.....a welcomed excuse to get out of the smoldering apartment.
It was better than I expected. The initial trailers a few months back had some bad CG and it didn't seem like the movie would have much depth. Thankfully they fixed the CG and the movie had some depth to it.
I have to give credit where credit is due....it was intense. There really wasn't much time to get settled.
The overall premise....infection takes over the world and spreads quickly. Pitt play Gerry a UN special envoy or something who's resume includes time in all the major civil wars over the past ten years.
I have to say that I enjoyed it. The "Zombies" are 28 Days Later type of zombies. I thought this was well executed. The movie was well done.
I actually thought this was one of Pitt's better performances. Most of the time his roles come off as Tyler Durden playing "...". I don't know hwo to explain it. His range although limited was done well.
Full point for new locales that haven't been done before..
If you like zombies and gripping your seat then I'd recommend this. But if you're a purist and can handle your zombies moving faster than a crawl..you'll be disappointed.
My two issues with the movie
1. The dialogue from the trailers to the movie changes. The don't go anywhere near Russia. The whole "Russia is a Black Hole" line was actually referring to India. Also, the line "don't pretend your family is exempt when we talk about the end of the world." didn't happen
2...I can't remember how to use the spoiler feature ....will post later
Alex please fix the Title...thx
