World War Z

Yeah, I think it's mostly because the general public isn't familiar with that type of plane, and how it differs from the typical residential flight like we take.

[Trekker4747]

Yeah, they could've put something in there making it clearer on what was happening like a hum and the sight of the elevator car rising behind the doors and THEN the zombie breaking out the doors.  The way it is she presses the button and the zombie pops right out the doors.

It's like a zombie vending machine.

Dammit! The zombie got stuck in the machine again! Somebody help me rock this thing to get 'em loose!

Zombie vending machine....that would have been injected some humor into a movie that really needed it. Not that it was ovelry serious either, but it lacked horror and I thought the action lacked tension, so humor might have been it's saving grace. Which is why it begs for a Rifftax release.

I think the "fast zombie" trend has reached its creative endgame with WORLD WAR Z. I mean, what can they do next? Make the zombies move so quickly they break the sound barrier?

Make them climb on ceilings? Nah, that'd be stupid...

[The Lurker]

Mime zombies?

[Darth Geek]

In the Day of the Dead remake there were some that did that

(around 30 seconds in)

So you are saying no to the Lionel Ritchie zombie?

What can they do next? Make a movie that isn't totally terrible like WORLD WAR Z.

SO were the zombies fast or slow in the book?

They were the traditional Romero-style walkers, like in his Zombie Survival Guide. The nature of how they move and act is actually a rather big part of the universe he's crafted, actually (ditto the rate at which the disease spread).

Some of its sins (IMHO):

Kid leaves his parents to go with Brad Pitt's family, but we don't see them killed. Kid isn't in the least bit upset about where his parents are. So while it seemed like it was implied that they were killed and the tease seemed to be that maybe they weren't and they'd show up later in the film at some climatic point in time. Nope. Kid and parents don't play any role in the movie other than in their one throw away scene.

Actually....

One of the zombies that is shot as Pitt gets on the chopper is the kid's dad.

[Darth Geek]

Yeah, I think we see his mom as a zombie too.
