It's been a while since I have read the book, but I think you're absolutely right. That doesn't look anything close to what I remember the book was.
I'm not sure you could really capture the book in a movie. The book isn't A story..it's many stories. I'm hoping the concepts are there, though. I think this is going to be a look at Max Brooks' vision of a zombie apocalypse. Certainly on a very global, macro scale.

Ug, just making a freaking crazy war movie... why do they always **** up these films with the family BS.
For those of you who missed it this was the original script before the rewrite... They really should have gone with this instead of this Michael Bay CGI crap.
