World War Z

U.N. employee Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) is called back into service to Sherpa a virology specialist (Elyes Gabel) around the globe to stop to a Zombie pandemic. But, when all goes sideways Lane is left to his own resources to evolve and survive. Find a cure, or at least a way to survive, the war against mankind is coming at a furious pace, but is it already too late?World_War_Z_Poster First and foremost let me be the one to tell you THIS IS NOT THE ALTERNATE HISTORY STORYLINE OF THE BOOK BY THE SAME NAME, but you probably already gathered that, so what, get over it. That said, what we’re left with is still a solid and entertaining pandemic procedural with zombies at the core. All involved hold their parts nicely, although the sporadic nature in which backstory is spooned out demands close attention and some connecting of the dots is necessary, ugh, “you mean I have to use my brain to follow a zombie movie?” simply put, yes! Prep for adrenaline and get ready to white knuckle this rollercoaster, the first two thirds provide for some truly interesting and terrifying visuals. And, in this day and age of giant battles, giant superheroes, giant carnage, World War Z’s (reshot) final act is a refreshing conclusion, good call Pitt, good call indeed. 3D doesn’t really add anything here FYI and the overall runtime is a little long, still it’s fun and worth it for the thrill seekers, World War Z is rated PG-13.
