We can't tell from the trailer but if there is good reasons why these
actors are completely CG for the whole movie then I'm all for it.
Might be required for non-human movement/animation or improbable camera
shots around characters or a bullet-time a la Matrix...(when Agent Smith
gets hit in the face!!)
Until then we'll have to wait for the whole film or perhaps trailer 2.
I hate 3D zombies as well...

I understand your point, but on the other hand, couldn't the extensive
3d scanning and motion capture process that was no doubt used to create
this film be seen as just a new way of filming a performance? When you
go to the movie, you don't really see the actor, you see information
captured by the camera (and most of the time tinkered with in post).
Here you see information captured by other means.
Anyway, I'm just trying to bring another point of view here, because,
truth be said, I'm not really comfortable with it either. But I think in
a few years, when (if) all of this become common place and the results
are less distinguishable from filmed material, the uneasiness will
disappear.
