So I saw World War Z the other day. I’m a big
zombie film fan so I had high expectations, and though it’s not perfect, it’s
still a really enjoyable film. I read the
synopsis for the original ending to, it would have been very exciting but not
that in keeping with the rest of the film, although I’m not sure the actual ending
was that well suited to the rest of the film anyway... I find it interesting
that the end of I Am Legend was reworked to be less happy than originally
planned while World War Z was reworked to be happier. And
both said good bye to the book.
Still, good film. Interesting, if slightly confusing, zombie
concept, they’re dead like The Walking Dead zombies, but moved and behave more like
28 days later, infected, rage, fast zombies.
It sort of works, and the scenes where they swarm are frightening in a
new way. But for a film with such an
apparently scientific ending it seems to ignore the fact that bodies decay
rapidly and would no longer be able to stand after a few days, let alone chase
around biting people (though I really hope this observation does not come back
and bite me). They may have done better
sticking with the alive but rabies infected kind of zombie.
Anyway, if you've stayed with me through this ramble, here’s
my zombie. It’s me in the morning
before a cup of tea, though more blood.
