The plot of World War Z is that the zombie apocalypse has begun and Brad Pitt's character has to find a cure to save the fate of the world's civilians.
I was both excited and nervous for this movie once I saw the first trailer. These were my thoughts:
Pros:
1: Brad Pitt is in the lead role.
2: The type of zombies in this movie are running zombies.
Cons:
1: From the trailers, fans of the novel say it is very inaccurate.
2: The CGI zombies looked very mediocre.
Having weighed in the pros and cons from the trailers, I was unsure what to expect. I ended up getting what I wanted it to be!
When the film starts out, I saw a lot of things from the second trailer in the very beginning. Luckily, once the action began I was completely immersed in the story and action. There are quite a few jump scares in the film that I didn't care for because I don't like those types of scares. I think jump scares are put in movies when they couldn't think of anything genuinely scary so they just make you jump during one scene. That being said, they actually made me jump!
The zombies are crazy cool. They aren't like the zombies on The Walking Dead. These are the type of zombies in 28 Days Later. They don't shamble people, they full out sprint and when the are chasing Pitt it is incredibly tense and thrilling.
The performances are also fine. This movie is basically Brad Pitt's show because even though there are other supporting characters, he is the only big name. The only characters I had a problem with were his family. His wife was alright but his kids irritated me beyond belief. If his kids weren't in the movie at all, it wouldn't have been any different. Watch the movie and tell me I'm not right.
Final Report: World War Z is a thrilling, action-packed zombie flick that is quality summer movie material.
