It is true that the only thing that the book and the movie have in common is the title and the fact that it is about Zombie's. Visually, the movie is nice on the big screen, but lacking on intensity. Despite a high body count, it is extremely low on impactful scenes depicting the horror of an actual attack. The airplane scene, while conveying the horor of confinement with a fast moving pathogen, is unrealistic as is their "cure". Ending is a complete set-up for Part II. It was worth the $$ to see (the $5 special at a local theater) to see it on the big screne...some of the effects and scenes are stunning.
