Unless I'm watching a full animation movie I can't get over the fact that CGI looks fake to me and that it stands out completely from the real people next to it. I'm not going to jump on board the CGI train just because it's now the norm in films. It doesn't look good to me. It never has. It never will. I won't trash a movie just because of bad CGI if it has other things going for it but the bad CGI zombies were worse than the ones in I Am Legend and that film came out almost six years ago.
I watch movies to be transported to another place and be immersed in another world for two hours. The effect is lost when I find what I'm looking at to be fake and stupid.
And for the zombie debate. I know they're fictional characters. I know that being fictional characters leaves them up to interpretation and artistic manipulation. I'm not saying it's a rule that they have to be slow but when you market a film based on a book that was the most realistic telling of what zombies would actually be like then I expect a little more than full stampeding death machines running at 40 mph and hitting vehicles like they're the f*cking Juggernaut. None of it was believable. Slow zombies are believable which is why I'm afraid of them.
