Most zombie movies don't have the budget to show the initial outbreak and the military and scientific response in any detail the way this did. Overall, I liked it. I especially liked that people didn't behave like idiots and actually fought back and were looking for a cure. There's way too much stupidity in most zombie stuff. The Walking Dead is the worst in that respect. The people on that show behave like retards to the point where it takes me out of the experience because I just can't relate to people so dumb. Also, I have no idea why zombie movies always focus on unimportant nobodies. It was refreshing that this focused on an important UN official investigating the source of the outbreak. Basically this was a zombie movie made for intelligent people that broke away from a lot of the stupid conventions that have dragged down the zombie genre. It had some good action scenes and "oh poo poo!" type moments. My only complaint was that they got a bit carried away with the CGI on the zombies in a few scenes. I never read the book so I really can't comment on whether it's a faithful translation to film.

4/5
