I saw it a while ago... I believe the quality of the picture being low was done on purpose, trying to be artistic. It was okay, not spectacular. I think the problem I had is that it was so much different than what I expected... I expected more of a thing where it was a band of people trying to survive, but really it wasn't about that at a certain point, they turned it into one of those microcosm stories. Maybe it was just taking after Lord of the Flies in a really odd way. Anyway, I'm considering seeing it again because they are going to start showing an alternate ending in theaters starting around July 25 I believe.
Oh yeah, I remembered I caught several flaws in the movie. Like how the guy wakes up from this coma that is evidently over 28 days (we don't even really know how long he was in a coma), and yet he gets up and is walking perfectly fine, thinking relatively clearly... please. I was in a hospital ICU, bedridden, for about a week before I could start walking again. It took a couple of days of using walkers, getting help from a physical therapist, before I could even keep decent balance. Took much longer once I was released after 9 days just to walk normally and with comfort. This guy was running within moments... what the hell? And how did he survive for so long without the care of doctors? Why is it that he shaves only once, and never sprouts another hair for a few days? Where is everyone? Even if only half the population turned into "zombies," things would not look so deserted.
