I was really looking forward to seeing this film, starring Brad Pitt. A movie about a zombie apocalypse. I feel that I am pretty well versed in this area, having my Phd in “Walking Dead“. This is a slightly different take, but similar at the same time. The biggest and most obvious difference is that in this film, the zombies are much more aggressive once turned, and infected people turn into zombies much quicker, within seconds. The film follows Brad Pitts character’s attempt to find a solution to the zombie issue. This is where I had a slight problem with the plot. Part of the problem was that I have not read the book, this would clear up some of the questions I have pertaining to the films adaptation. Brad Pitts becomes the main focal point and the military is more than willing to send him anywhere he needs for his investigation. Another related issue I had with the film was the way the zombies would not attack anyone who was sick. I mean it sort of has to be that way, otherwise, they would eat up each other, hence no movie. However there’s no way possible the zombies could make that decision in a split second, literally dividing hordes of zombies like a vertical stick in a flowing river with no bites or even touches.
Besides these issues, I did rather enjoy the film and would recommend it.
