^Wait...your saying politicians are not zombies? I really don't see a difference..
You're close politicians are aliens. They just look like zombies when you have your special sunglasses on.

Well, technically speaking the PotUS is expendable, the oath sworn by all members of the US Armed Forces is to defend the Constitution, not the President or any other politician so they did do their duty in a manner of speaking. Protecting the President is the job of the Secret Service and the Presidential Detail specifically; the rest of the Secret Service is responsible for things like money laundering, counterfeiting, and Warehouse 13.

If the events unfold because the characters don't understand the nature of the threat fine.
But the way the last trailer was cut has me thinking well "WTF".
On protecting the Constitution, it is protecting the principles not the physical document while sacrificing the safety of the civilian population.
Yet that is not has me rubbed the wrong way... it is the fact that the Hero's attitude when he is asked to help appears to be 'Meh, want to stay with my family' and it takes someone else to tell Brad Pitt that his family is not exempt.
How can mankind's savior be so stupid or selfish? Just that alone makes me want to see his kids eaten.

A reluctant hero? Sounds legit. In real life I would expect an ELE would cause everyone to only care about their family. Sad, but true.
It seems pretty pointless unless you plan on nuking DC since all those documents can be sealed in bomb proof bunkers like they are every night when the capital closes for business.

I'm guessing that his family is safe on the carrier battle group and not in a defended, yeah right, city.
If the family is in a red city and Pitt knows the plan Ok his feelings understood.
Hopefully, his background story is explained as to why he is a civilian and why he doesn't want to help since his family appears to be safe.
Edit: Excellent point Wes. Or is the Constitution like the Necronomicon and written on human flesh that the Zombies want to eat?

It has been said that Zombies eat the living. Perhaps the soldiers need to hide the Constitution because it has been called a...
...LIVING document?
...LIVING document?
Probably more like it's a plot hole that didn't get noticed lol. I want to know what Max Brooks' view on this movie is. i hope they paid him very well for the rights to the name. Kinda reminds me of I Robot: have generic story and buy book rights and slap in some characters from the book lol.

Or I am legend. The film was nothing like the book . And yeah I think wwz is going to be the same .
Man Smith's I Am Legend was a bad knockoff of Omega Man with just enough ties to Last Man on Earth and the real novel via him having a family to justify using the title. I'm not sure i'd be able to resist the amount of cash they probably offered for the rights to the book though. Probably could buy a house and 3 deloreans lol.

I never had a problem with Max Brooks when I met him. Super nice guy and his autographs were free. He also got super excited when he saw that all of my copies of his books were first editions. I. Even got a photo with him.
From what I've read, the only thing he'll say is that the only similarities between the movie and book are in name only. He was never asked to consult on the film or help with writing the script and they asked him to visit the set and he declined. He said he'll see the movie when it comes out in theatres though.

Amusingly, this film is getting better reviews from the critics so far than Man of Steel. For those on the fence about this film, AICN recommends a film called Battery. Looks decent enough. Im still in to see this film this week, and my expectations are decidedly low...but then again I do tend to find something worth talking about or at least interesting even from the bad films.
