World War Z

In one of the earlier cuts of the film, you actually see the Zombies hanging onto the plane as it takes off, and at least one gets into the wheel arches and then its supposed that it manages to get into the hold, so thats how it comes up the lift.

I think it was dropped because it ruined the shock you got that there turns out to be a Zombie on the plane. At the end of the day though, if you have seen the trailer you knew this was going to happen, and even then, its probably still likely you would assume its going to happen anyway.
 
Watched this last night and really enjoyed it. I think its one of those switch off brain and just watch films.

I thought the zombie was in the hold and used the lift to get into the cabin

If it was actually happening you'd still be cautious about everything, but woman logic + movie logic :p :p

Personally, I thought it was more a case of the relief of having apparently escaped and being 'safe' on an aircraft thousands of feet in the air. Understandably the stewardess falls back on her training and goes about her normal routines. Unfortunately, not the best choice under the circumstances.

I was more surprised by the fact that you're supposed to believe that a world renowned virologist, working on a deadly new strain of unknown pathogen would manage to infect himself. I know something similar happen in Outbreak but there was a build up there with him getting tired that was omitted in WWZ. Added to that is the fact that he appears to be working in an open lab area, not a Class 4 biohazard lab. Such folks take more precautions working with flu, never mind a zombie virus that kills/infects in seconds. It was frankly a stretch too far to me. And, yes I know it was a film about zombies so the stretch, blah, blah, blah...:rolleyes:

It's the unstoppable, unending, unrelenting nature of the slow zombie hoard which makes them so scary and very risky to face. Sure, you can fend off one or maybe two, but they never stay just one or two for long.

This. Fast zombies have their place, but the slow ones are the more believable kind that also feel more scary, for the reasons Earl Squark mentions.

No way, running zombies are far scarier, the sheer panic of the sprinting infected/zombies from Dawn Of The Dead and 28 Days later makes them the best Zombie films as of late.

I like WWZ but as other have said, the second half was a bit disjointed and didn't really fit in with the first part.
 
Saw this last night.

3/10.

Shockingly bad film.
Fly here - wait a bit while people die and nothing happens.
Fly to next location - wait a bit while people die and nothing happens.

No connection to the characters. Really poor film which was so bad it led me to fall asleep - the first time for any film at the cinema.
 
Another woeful waste of $190million.

Random pages of the book, a location here, bouncing to a location there.

Fast zombies from 28 days mixed with Romero's slow variety because it was good for the tension.

Do not waste your money, get a good rental.
 
This is the end is a complete and utter pile of gay and cum jokes!

I'll stick to Zombies :)

Even if World War Z isn't brilliant
 
Went to the cinema to see this yesterday, have to say I really enjoyed it! I'd been a little worried when I first watched the trailers with the cgi zombies but it turned out better than I expected. I enjoyed seeing the outbreak scenes which you rarely get to see in zombie films, and I really liked the last third too. 8.5/10 for me.
 
Disappointing, so much cool stuff they could have added from the book and didn't. They ditched all the interesting stuff and made a typical zombie movie other than the runing.

Nowhere near the best film he's done yet the most successful, the mind boggles.

Not really, you don't know how good it is until you have been.
So how good it is has little bearing.
Huge advertising and huge hype on an extremely good book and wide interest genre.
 
I actually thought this was brilliant, easily the most dangerous and terrifying take on zombies, the stuff they can do is mental. Slow moving zombies and even the fast ones from 28 days, in real life (in my opinion) couldn't stand a chance at world wide infection, all the zombies would be killed at some point. These kind though? The formations and flood like movement is so effective, it's believable that the virus in this could bring us close to extinction.

8/10 easily.
