    • Trivia
      At the time, this was the highest-grossing film of Brad Pitt's career.
    • Goofs
      They use Iridium satellite phones indoors (inside the aircraft carrier, inside the airplane) which is not possible - they need a clear view of the sky.
    • Quotes

      Jurgen Warmbrunn: Most people don't believe something can happen until it already has. That's not stupidity or weakness, that's just human nature.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening logos are shown in dark blueish color with intense music in the background.
    • Alternate versions
      An unrated cut released on home video adds almost seven minutes of additional action and some alternate/re-edited shots.

    Zombie favourite
    Out of all of the zombie based films this is one of my favourites, a really good story from a different angle of a specialist rather than a hero with a gun. Brilliant ending as-well which is always a bonus.
