I saw it yesterday and it was quite good. Not excellent, but fairly good. I like how the zombie look on this one, much meaner and faster (makes it quite exciting). What I like about this re-make is the quantity of zombies it has! The more zombies there are the better!
There were some good scenes in this movie. For example when the girl steps outside of her house and looks around at neighborhood with all the chaos happening was fairly good. Other good scenes were the buses and the zombies! Once again lots and lots of zombies! I like that!
Now, there was the scene with the zombie baby. That was of poor taste, I really don't like horror movies involving babies and pregnancy. Very unnecessary scene. It's also not original at all! If want it to see monster babies I would just rent "The Unborn", but I want zombies NOT monster babies.
The one thing that bother me about this movie was the product advertising. I had the similar problem with "28 days later" I hope it doesn't become a zombie movie trend for the future. Toyota, Nike, coffe shops...Nah! get rid of those things.
Setting that aside I enjoy the movie it was fairly good.
8/10.

When she is backing up her car to escape her house that wasn't the mall (clearly you see the "toyota" words in the big screen) The nike shirt that DMX is wearing in the bathroom while talking to the security guard. Things like that always catches your eye. 😬

That was Mekhi Phifer, not DMX. 😉
Those instances of unintentional product placement were just that, unintentional. The wideshot from the back of Ana's car was just a really inventive camera angle, showing the absolute widespread panic. Of course, the "Crossroads Mall" and "Hallowed Grounds" were totally intentional sight gags.
Had there actually been a marketing campaign that went in hand with these products, then I would have complained.
I do agree though, those things were kind of subconscious observations for me as well. I was watching to see if the license plate was still from Wisconsin, although it was being shot in Canada.
