Load of rubbish!!
How sad is this?
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Former United Nations employee Gerry Lane traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments, and threatening to destroy humanity itself. World War Z is better than most really awful zombie flicks and definitely better than i actually remembered it and sure it has it's flaws but it's also pretty damn action packed and the make up alongside the special effects quite great. Brad Pitt also was suprisingly great in his role and the same goes for the other cast members as well, i'd really like to see a 2nd one.
Good seeing Brad Pitt in a film after so many Tom Cruise disappointments (why do I equate these guys?) Have been waiting years to catch this film and, thanks to the local library, today was the day. I've always enjoyed a new perspective on the never-ending zombie threat, and though thoroughly flawed, this film kept me engaged and content. Yes, Gerry Lane (Pitt) was the luckiest man on earth but you'd have to be in order to survive these ever-popular "Running Dead" (in which film did that change first occur?) Kudos for Israeli wisdom, Tavor cameos and zombie ladders. Grinding teeth and twitchy, just the way things should be. World War Z gets an 8 in the Reminder of Why We Prep genre.
I'm honestly surprised by the bad reviews on this site for this film. I've seen my fair share of zombie movies and this is my favourite. I've watched it a good 10 times and it doesn't take the fear away. The thought behind it that there is a was to defeat this disease is brilliant, as is the acting. I also love 28 days later and class is as the same type of zombie horror movie. I loved it.
Would have rated this film higher but for the extremely annoying and poor editing. Seemed to be so many dialogue scenes with distracting foreground action. Relating the chaos of the location is important but so many instances with extras crossing in front of the characters during dialogue is poor filmaking. There were also way, way, way too many short cuts that might appeal to a limited attention span millennial teen, but way too many for me. Look at an old film such as "I walked with a Zombie" to see quality editing compared to this mishmash of distraction.
