Reminds me of (the book) World War Z.
The zombie apocalypse only lasted like, 2 weeks or something IIRC, because it didn't take long for militaries around the world to figure out strategies to contain and destroy the zombies, since zombies don't think and could be exploited pretty much the same way gamers exploit NPC behavior in a video game.
They didn't even eradicate zombies. Zombies just became something of a canival act in the new post-zombie world.
Is the movie different? I stopped watching after 30 minutes because it was too stupid.
The movie is exactly 0% like the book, outside of having zombies.
The book is actually good. I still kinda am annoyed that Max Brooks said it wasn't going to be like the book, but it was still good on its own merit. Cuz, no... It wasn't.
To be fair in the book the zombies became a non issue once everyone got their shit together and stopped trying to milk the zombies for PR. They just let it get way too far before applying practical solutions instead of trying to showcase the latest lockheed martin product line.
