EE... I guess you can take umbrage at whatever aspect of a work of fiction you want, but IMHO any zombie book or movie requires such a huge suspension of disbelief to begin with that I can let the "small stuff" slide.
The concept of "walking dead" zombies is so physiologically absurd I can't take any zombie product with any kind of seriousness. I mean, c'mon... we supposedly have dead people who no longer require oxygen or nutrients, but they can still move purposefully (which implies muscle cell metabolism and an organized neurological system which somehow don't require ATP to function... hmmm...), eat healthy/living people, but can be "killed" for good if you bash their rotting brains in or cut off their heads... Riiiiiiiiiiight....
It's just entertainment, take it FWIW and move on.

Exactly, that's always been my problem with "Zack". Okay, I can get past the part that there's a zombie virus that attacks or takes over the brain, but the brain still needs oxygen to function. With no blood circulation or respiration to supply fresh oxygen that virus in the brain isn't going to get very far.
And if their movement is just plain supernatural then we have lots more to worry about with the vampires and werewolves that also inhabit a supernatural world.
Still and all, it's as good a reason as any to have an AR-15 and 50 loaded magazines ready to go...
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
Wife and I watched it on Tuesday and enjoyed it. The wife had trouble sleeping afterwards though, I told her if she would have watched more zombie movies before this one, she would have slept like a rock, like I did.

I'm aware of those things Doc, but the UN is such a despicable institution and one that has done so much to bring this country to the point it is at today that it is still difficult to accept even in such an obvious fictional depiction.
The physiological portions are easy to suspend disbelief on to me anyway, because I just figure that humans have went through periods of gross ignorance before and could do the same at present. That doesn't mean I accept some lame explanation of how stuff works in a book like this.
I found the book much better in the opening chapters and my interest waning the farther I got into it.
I'm seeing more movies with a political agenda lately. Seems like they're "softening up the masses" with propoganda about the New World Order. "Now you see me" show about 4 magicians has references to the "Eye of Horace". Made a bunch of references to it.

the producers took a barely readable Zed novel, and rendered the story even worse. Then they hired that little commie prick, Brad Pitt to star in it. Hell now, I won't be watching.
I'd watch the movie but I can't stand Arm Pitt
