Looks better, but still...just meh. I really wish they would have filmed the book documentary style and put it on HBO, SHowtime, or even AMC. I would have even been happy to see it done like District 9. Seems like a huge missed opportunity.

I read the book years ago and it took me a long time to finish, only book that made be fall asleep all the time. Honestly, the book is boring as hell with a few good moments.
This film looks fast and tense, and i don't care if it doesnt follow the book, will be seeing it opening week regardless.

Oh god that looks even worse with the official trailer. It's one thing to have zombies as fast a human, but these have zombies that move faster than a human with faster reaction time. It's as bad as the "Day of the Dead" remake that involved spider like zombies.
I'll watch it on Netflix, but I won't give it a dime in the theatre or on DVD.

I've done exactly that and got my money back, or at least a free ticket to see some other movie.

that scene of zombies falling down the stairs in a wave scared the **** out of me!
for all those zombie survivalists, how can even a machine gun stop a wave of zombies coming at you

I only read the Wikipage for the book and still knows that the movie should not be like that if they were following the book.
Some say you should not judge a book by its cover....maybe thats where they got the idea for the script. " hmm, world war zombies....Wow, lets make a movie by mixing WW2 AND ZOMBIES"

Read the book and absolutely loved it. I thought it really described the chaos and survival brilliantly. Trailer looks like a typical zombie flick......nothing to do with the book. Why couldn't they just have Pitt as the interviewer and have all the action bits as flashbacks exactly like in the book.

Maybe the multiplex crowd wouldn't understand that. I mean, you're talking flashbacks, two different points of time at the same time. Nah..go for CGI, waves of "Zombies" and explosions ALL the time, so all the brainless people can say "AWESOME".
Bleh, I'll watch and read Walking Dead instead.
After "Lost" and now "Revolution" I am confident they can handle flashbacks.
Sent from my Etch-A-Sketch
Flashbacks in general are ok, but when a series devotes so much time and attention to them in order to develop a character, I can't help but feel short changed by them. If your characters means of development relies heavily on their past, a writer can essentially have any character go through any life-changing moment on the fly. It's almost a way of cheating for writers in shows like LOST and Revolution where they're still trying to write the characters. The way World War Z could have handled flashbacks would be different because that story already has established characters.

I can't wait to see how they mess up battle of Yonkers or battle of Hope. Pretty sad.
