IGotWorms 3,359 Posted June 21, 2013 That's what the reviews are saying anyway. I'm a little shocked because the movie was re-shot a bunch and shelved for years, which are usually very bad signs. Anybody going to see it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OldMaid 1,838 Posted June 21, 2013 I can't believe they paired Brad Pitt with that Mirelle Enos chick from The Killing. Like that would ever happen IRL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,359 Posted June 21, 2013 I can't believe they paired Brad Pitt with that Mirelle Enos chick from The Killing. Like that would ever happen IRL. I guess Pitt plays an unconventional hero in this movie, so it might not be that weird. I hate that chick though because I hate everything associated with The Killing. Damn show had me fooled for, like, six episodes before I realized it was total garbage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTSkiBum 1,600 Posted June 21, 2013 I read the book years ago before zombies were the rage. It was a very good book, and I will watch the movie on netflix. I am not spending 30 dollars to go see it in the theaters though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MedStudent 56 Posted June 21, 2013 It got ok reviews from what I can see. The Chicago guy didn't like it. Rotten tomatoes says 68% of the critics liked it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not spending 30 dollars to go see it in the theaters though. Yeah, me too. I'm interested to see if/how they handle the chapter about the female pilot who has to bail-out over infested territory. My oldest son and I like to watch The Walking Dead together, and his birthday is Monday, so I'm thinking about taking him to see it for his birthday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I still don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Moz 69 Posted June 21, 2013 To be honest this was going to be a Net Flix/roku or maybe an On-Demand. Everyone seems to like it and IMO it has to be better than the previews which IMO suck. I don't have the kids this weekend and GF is at her parents -- looks like tonight - Hawks game at the bar, tomorrow Golf and maybe catch that flick after.

Mookz 1,287 Posted June 21, 2013 i gonna see it this weekend, i will report back with a review Looking forward to it, heavy-set. Just based on the commercials, I'd give it four bags of popcorn and three cups of soda. Are you going with anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Blue 06 195 Posted June 21, 2013 Was the book any good? That might save me from having to read Hunger Games. The book was very entertaining and a pretty easy read. The reason I don't see it translating to a movie is that each chapter in the book is told from a different person's point of view. I don't see a character in the book that is Brad Pitt's main character. I guess we'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was assuming Pitt's character would be the interviewer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmmmm...beer 692 Posted June 22, 2013 Saw this tonight.... I read the book like 4 years ago so I don't remember much about it other than highlights. The movie was pretty good... kept your anxiety up the whole focking time.... Mrs.....beer (36DD) was a nervous wreck by the end! Haha... Good and entertaining. Saw it in the 3D... I dunno if it was any better or not that way but it was still a damned good show I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate when zombies run. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you not seen the commercials? Apparently, they do nothing but run. They run so fast you can't even tell if they are zombies. They might just be really excited to see Brad Pitt.

They called them Zombies.... uhmmm... HIGHLIGHT SPOILER: They turn in a matter of seconds and it's handled more as an infection/virus rather than undead I think?

Kopy 493 Posted June 22, 2013 Well, at least they actually call them zombies, thats a 2 thumbs up. Still hate running zombies though. I guess I'll just rent it. I was just hoping the previews were something else in the movie I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frank M 181 Posted June 25, 2013 Saw this last night with my son. I'm a fan of the genre, so I could appreciate some of the new twists. The bad part was that the escape from Philadelphia in the beginning was the best part. I give it 2.5 out of 5 stars.\ And Brad Pitt sucked in it. Not that he's a great actor, but he was especially bad in this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
