About this movie

The suspense is killer!" proclaims Peter Travers of Rolling Stone in this fast-paced, pulse-pounding epic of the potential last days of the human race. Former United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) is called upon to help stop the chaotic pandemic that has gripped populations around the world. Even more action unfolds in the unrated cut with intense new footage not seen in theatres. David Denby of The New Yorker calls World War Z the "most gratifying action spectacle in years!

I can't get all this apocalyptic nonsense with zombies. You got the slow ones that you could out race on your kids tricycle. And you got the almost superhuman ones of I Am Legend and these in WWZ are kind of a combo zombie. But it all takes energy for those muscles to move and a brain can't do it by itself if it's the only thing alive, ask someone who is paralyzed! And because They are dead what is to stop the bacteria in the gut from doing its gobble them up thing. Just too many holes for me.

Problem 1. The worst part is the first 20 minutes. Hollywood shaky camera for tension in dark narrow spaces is lame. It doesn't help that this is also the part that requires the viewer to completely suspend disbelief that something like this would happen. Problem 2. The family is boring. It doesn't push any plot other than an inopportune phone call moment. Problem 3. The ending 2 mins is what I wanted to see of this movie. People fighting zombies in different ways.

Nobody realized zombies were spreading, despite social media?! Nobody shares mission critical info with anyone on the actual mission. Ninja silent diesel trucks appear from nowhere. Ninja silent zombies hide in areas people have been in for hours without being noticed, until its time for a jump scare and cheap plot device. Doctors are clumsy & can't follow simple steps for survival. World saving mission jeopardized by a bonehead mobile mistake. Nobody noticed what Israel was up to, really? Israel didn't share what was up? Zombies can scale 40' walls but they try to stop them with loosely stacked luggage. Happy family cliche. Asthma cliche. Vehicle won't start cliche. Needlessly suspicion cliche. Happy Hollywood ending cliche.
