Friend of mine went to the World War Z premiere:
World War Z...
5/10. Sorry folks, It's pretty pants. And I REALLY wanted it to be good.
SPOILER ALERT. SPOILER ALERT! You have been warned.
A zombie film with no blood? I've no idea what the zombies were doing as we never see them kill anyone! They just run around a lot, far too fast for a 'human being'. No decapitated zombies, and a piss poor script that could have been knocked together in an evening.
I just don't think Mark Forster (Quantum of Bollox) knows how to direct. No emotional connection to any of the characters. No big climax at the end and the least threatening Zombie I have ever seen. A shit V/O from Brad at the end, about "only just the beginning, of the war, YAWN..."
There was some truly awful acting, characters that appear and go in a scene, that do nothing, and flimsy science that is just insulting to anyone who can actually think.
The only good bit was the Zombie as Ants scene, but it would have been hugely improved if a zombie with a giant leaf walked past in the background.
The audience laughed at several moment, that I don't believe the director even realised were gags!
Brad doesn't even really do any acting. He does a bit of running around and a fight or two. No great lines, and I don't really believe that he loves his kids and wife so terribly much.
Best thing in it was - Daniella Kertesz.
And leaning suitcases against a curtain? Seriously. That was shit.
Nothing here we haven't seen in 28 Days Later, or any other zombie film, or even The War of the World that was written 100 years ago.
At the end the applause was half hearted and everyone got up and left super fast.
Please GOD can we stop giving shit directors a second, and in this case 10th chance.
Nothing to see here ladies and gentlemen, move on.

Yeah same - Always told myself it won't be as good as the book.

Also - keep an eye out for State of decay on xbox this week - looks like it could be a great game.

I'm not sure how it could be - the zombies are completely different for a start: super-mobile graaahhhhhhh zombies versus shambling urrrrrrggghhh undead.
If I watch it, I will watch it as though it were not based on the book at all.

Brad [Pitt] doesn't even really do any acting.
Brad couldn't act as a decapitated corpse even if you chopped his head off. He makes wood look talented. -

A friend of mine was one of the extras in the plane scene - the day after shooting it he said the film is going to be shit!

I've heard good things about it too. Mogwai done the soundtrack.

If you haven't played the game yet, do. If you have, get excited - another episode due this month:

Just finished playing 400 Days yesterday. It's good! Made me feel sad at the end because I thought "I wonder how Clem is doing now". Surprised at how affecting the storyline was. So many rotten choices in 400 Days right from the start, really throws you back into it.
It looks like 400 Days is a prequel of sorts to Season 2. Looking forward to that now!

Without giving away any spoilers - do any of your choices from S1 effect 400 days? Lost my save file so not sure whether to play though it all again for starting 400.

Not as far as I noticed. You will see some old friends from S1 in one of the 400 days story arcs, but it doesn't look like Lee's decisions involving them made any difference to their current behaviour. 400 will apparently affect the outcomes in S2, though.

finally saw world war z. what a load of shite.
might as have well called it 28 days later and pretended it was a shitty reboot.
the only thing that remotely linked it to the book was it took place across multiple countries. otherwise it was just another by the numbers zombie movie.
shame on you mr pitt.

Don't waste your time. Watch Warm Bodies instead. Probably the best zombie film of the last year.
