With Zombie films becoming the new thing to make in hollywood over recent years it was kind of hard to not have mixed feelings about this film before seeing it. But thankfully WWZ turns out not just being a enjoyable film but a film with substance to it.
The films plot is simple to say the least but simple it may be it's still a intriguing one. The film itself really jumps into the Zombie apocalypse fast with all hell breaking lose within 10min of start time. The film centers around Brad pit's character Gerry Lane who is a ex U.N Officer who gets pulled back into work to help stop this from really taking over the world. Gerry only agree's to do this as he is promised is family's safety in return.
World war z for a start looks amazing. I really felt i had been transported to the Apocalypse and having it based not just in America but seeing the rest of the world was a great change for once. Practical make up for zombies look amazing and visual effects look fine. Acting is great but this is really Brad Pits film. This is the best i have seen Brad in a long time. He really grasps the role of Gerry and gives great charisma and fun to the character. Remember everyone this is not meant to be a serious movie, it's a fun Holiday blockbuster that i feel is even fine for young teenagers to see. Director Marc Forster really does a great job at creating the beloved novel into a movie. Tho it does not stay true to the original book it still has the feel and substance of the book that made it so amazing there for making the movie good. Mac also does a great job of building the tension from start to finish with some scenes having you on the edge of your seat.
If you like movies like contagion and shows like The walking dead you will most likely have a great time with this film . It puts a new great twist on the zombie genre that has not really been done before like this.
I give World War Z
