Brad Pitt's 1st Carrier Launch, Fake?

There has been much discussion on the message boards about the now infamous carrier launch scene in Brad Pitt's "World War Z" zombie epic. In the scene an Antov-12 cargo plane launches from an aircraft carrier to send Pitt's character on his worldwide search for a zombie cure. In the video below you can plainly see that the US military has been launching C-130s and several other cargo planes off the deck of aircraft carriers for a very long time. After seeing the movie I can also confirm that there is not one scene that is militarily impossible. The armies of the world have weapons and logistical capabilities far beyond what most average people could fathom.
