This seems like a bit of stupid fun. Basically, animals become intelligent and start attacking humans en masse. I think my reaction will be similar to how I feel about the Saw series: corny and unrealistic, and far more gruesome than clever, but cathartic in a way because the people killed in some sense deserve to die. Given the recent thread comparing humans to animals, I thought this might be food for thought.

I always liked the idea of animals taking back what the human species has been taking away from them ever since humans decided to promote themselves as the dominant species claiming the planet as their own.

The idea of non-human animals dominating the human populous is fantastic but watching the trailer made me disappointed. First, only lions going on the crusade? And the story just looks like some run down drama with really nothing going on.

Yet the concept is still something I like to fantasize and dream about. The Happening is a better movie then this, even though the only animal killing human scene was with a lion (how many times must I say human.. :X)

But who knows, the conversations in the 'Zoo' movie might be insightful on how humans shouldn't treat the rest of the animal kingdom as a footstool.

Edit: Ok, there are a couple dogs being aggro with humans from another trailer I watched, but idk what else.

I think that I would have shared your extreme antipathy toward human beings five years ago. There was a time when I couldn't say the word "human" without a sneer and a jibe. I've moderated my views a bit since then, and although I still view them (myself included) as having massively wasted potential, they seem to be getting better gradually. And hell, they invented the Internet, so they can't be completely evil :P

It's just the way I am.

Humans are so awful, they built an entire network just so people could piss and moan about how awful they are.

Every post and comment from you is self hatred. Did you read the man who wasn't yet? Sitting and complaining never fixed anything, nor did running from the problem.

It is hard for me to see it from this perspective though.

I'm assuming you missed that the first line was vitriolic sarcasm. Otherwise, you'll have to be more clear on what it is you find unclear to get an explanation from me.

sorry .. i saw ads for this and could only laugh. animals are not malicious. this is just more sensational "when animals attack" crap, only entirely fictional.

Plus I don't think animals have the intellectual capacity to make coordinated attacks against humans.

shrug i just could never find a show like this entertaining.
