The World War Zed thread [OK, 'Zee']
Sunday, June 23, 2013 by Jafo | Discussion: Movies & TV & Books
Saw it today....Terry spent a lot of time 'hiding'....she enjoys Zombie movies.....
It was good, we both enjoyed it.
Movies re Zombies, Vampires, and such always make me wonder....is there a book of 'rules' by which everyone MUST follow...re how to kill/avoid/beat/etc such critters?
I hear tell they don't actually exist so are the 'creation' of someone's imagination....
....but I could be wrong....

Calling it World War Z is a bit of a stretch from the book, but I didn't really let that bother me much. I enjoyed this version as a movie probably more so than I would have enjoyed a more documentary styled movie. I think a District 9 approach "may" have worked but it may not have done as well in the box office. I also could envision the main character becoming the documentarian of World War Z afterwards.
I think this movie pulled off a different angle of the Zombie apocalypse by focusing more on the world impact versus a small group of survivors on their own.
The thing that might be bad with this movie is it's budget was way too high which probably won't be fully recouped in the box office. It may cut even with DVD sales... we'll see I guess. I don't want overzealous productions hurting future attempts at movies like this.

One of the best records for recouping a budget was with Mad Max. 1000% [if that is really a mathematical term].
Made for 300 thou .... made 300 mill and counting...

Actually...it's not.... if 300 thou is 100% then 300 mill is 100,000% or some-such tripe.
Either way....it made a shit-load...

Not sure if that means you didn't like the movie or if you really liked North Korea's strategy... in the later case I might be worried.

Lol...I liked the movie a lot...
I just had to admire North Korea's "creativity"...

OK....why is my thread a dissertation into the cost of popcorn and not about THE ACTUAL MOVIE ...like the Man of Steel thread?
Movie theatres have the best popcorn....

There is no such thing.
Popcorn is a salt + fat delivery sevice invented by obese Americans to make sure they stay that way...
AND it stinks to high heaven.... only slightly less bileous than fried eggs.
Come the revolution I'd have the shit banned from public spaces...just like they do with cigarettes....

Saw the movie yesterday... i think it was fairly good. Better than AfterEarth for sure. The same goes probably for Oblivion, although that one had at least great visuals/music/cinematography.
I was actually surprised how disturbing this movie was. Based on those trailers it looked like mostly like a classic action flick - shooting shitload of zombies from helicopter and whatnot. Did not expect it to be so tense.

Seen the movie few days ago and my thoughts mirror those of Timmy. Very intense film with good setting and pace. Some plot holes ( airplane crashes conviniently next to where they suppose to go etc..) but overrall an enjoyable film. Basically an amercian big budget version of 28 days later which is one of my favourite films.
