The movie, not the book. I loved the book. I almost walked out of the movie, and would have if I had not sunk $11 into it. ( Oh yes, there will be spoilers. )
You really needed material to rant on for Anthro Con didn't you? I wasn't aware Max was Mel's son but that does explain why the book was such a wonderful read. At least Philly was well represented, they all look like Brad Pitt, family centered and can handle shrapnel in the belly like it was a paper cut!
I think at this point, we need to delicately and politely add this movie to the stinking pile that is every movie that in no way, shape, or form resembles the book it was 'based' on, much like Starship Troopers and just about every Philip K Dick movie.
Then we need to burn it and salt the earth alongside the 'movies that make the world stupid', for its gross inaccuracies, mishandled 'science', and just plain stupidity.
Then we need to take away the director's megaphone, and smack him on the nose and say 'NO! Bad!', and rub his face in it so he won't do it again.
One thing did stand out: North Korea gets itself zombie-free by removing the teeth of every citzen within 48 hours. It's kinda horrific when you realize that yeah... that is probably just how things would play out.
And just so you know, I laughed my ass off reading your dissertaion of the movie. I think I'll just go with this. Your review was very enjoyable even if the movie is total crap.
