The trouble with the first three films being set during the same zombie apocalypse is that each takes place roughly 10 years after the other and yet Dawn of the Dead clearly is set at the beginning of a zombie outbreak. If 10 years had passed, there would have been no chaotic televised arguments about what is happening. Things would've appeared much as they do in Day.
I think we are supposed to use our imagination there.
NOTLD and Dawn are supposed to be a few days or weeks away from each other and Day something like a year later.
They look like the decades they are filmed in because those are the decades they were filmed in.
Land however looks, feels and is played more like a response to Ronald than George W (it even has a signature vehicle straight out of The A-Team).
