    When the zombie apocalypse comes, I really hope they aren't fast zombies. Fuck fast zombies.

    Brad Pitt runs from zombies for two hours, and looks back every time to ponder stuff while keeping a steady pace with everyone running around him.

    Hands down my favourite zombie film of all time. From the well written story about finding a way to fight back to Gerry getting back to his family. The performance from the cast is excellent and the way the zombies were created to something that we have never seen before. 8.5/10

    I’ve been watching this movie since it came out, and I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it. The solution to the virus isn’t a far reach, and seems like a plausible solution to a situation like that.

    8/10 - great plot, executed well, had a couple of jump scares that got me. Only drawback is that it was a little long and Brad Pitt had a mom hair cut — still good though. Would watch again.

    Ok, a friend of mine made me watch this with him. I don’t usually watch “war movies” In general and this reminded me why. Everything was just so weirdly convenient for the main characters?! Idk, if you’re super into the “what ifs” in the future igs this would be for you

    Lots of hate, lots of comparisons to the source material. But I try to see it for what it is and to me it was really good. Imagery really made you think and terrified you. I still hope did part two. Watch it with an open mind. It's worth it the time.

This enjoyable shambles of a sci-fi thriller, directed by Marc Forster in impressive 3-D, stands on its own as a powerful vision of planetary chaos.
