the "We need to tack on another 30-40 minute tale 6 years later to finally release this film" story). It does work pretty well as a short, but I could easily see it being successfully expanded into a longer production (similar to what was done with the "Dumplings" portion of the "3 Extremes" anthology). This story would perhaps have been better suited to be a full feature movie on its own. Then, various humans with differing opinions and motives on the subject must decide what to do with it. It's basically your human created machine gains intelligence, sentience, thought, free will, etc. Fairly interesting and well done story overall. Probably the best of the 3 stories, and easily the most philosophical & cerebral. Basically, guy goes on a date, guy runs into date later on during the wash, and, everybody is now a zombie or will soon become one! Summary: Somewhat OK (I guess)! Story 2. There's also no zombie "love story" angle as suggested that I can recall, unless there is some extended version I haven't seen.
And, we've got zombies! Sorry, but it's almost 2013 now, so enough with the freakin zombies already unless you have a more original idea to implement them! This story is ultimately not worth investing in (primarily because it was so overdone by the time it was released). This would have been right proper back in '06, but, how many stories about contaminated mass food production, end of world viruses, etc, have been made since then?. This story has 2006 written all over it, and revolves around the world's population de-evolving into zombie like creatures as a result of a virus born of tainted meat processing procedures.
Easily my least favorite of the 3 works, and the one that suffers the most from the production delays. As a result, some stories were wrapped up years ago, one never got made, another was added on post haste to finally get the film out the door, etc.The end result is an uneven amalgam of flavors and styles and eras that doesn't quite come together as a whole as was hoped for. This film debuted earlier this year (2012), and therein lies the bulk of its problems this production originally began back in 2006, but funding problems and other delays hampered its release and it was shelved for quite a while. SPOILERS AHEAD! While not terrible, this movie does have some problems, and it seems strangely out dated (despite its futuristic themes). Each of the stories is independent from one another and all are acted, written, and directed by various teams. Its 3 separate story lines are basically broken down as follows: 1. We waited 6 years for this? Doomsday Book is a 3 part Korean anthology film about the future of mankind.
