Prior to watching this: I have not read the comics.
Review: Disjointed film with isolated incidents. Same old zombies stuff. The film was only saved by its last act. Not worth watching.
3/5

The ending was one of the few moments in the movie that kept my attention. Although zombie movies are about the most recycled films on the planet some people just can't get tired of seeing them. World War Z doesn't really establish anything creative, its just the same old zombies that we've had in movies for the past 40 years, all the same characteristics and weaknesses. George A. Romero established all this before with all his films. Save yourself some time and watch Dawn of the Dead or Night of the Living Dead instead of World War Z. Brad Pitt is a highlight however, its hard not to root for him and he was well cast as Gerry Lane.… Expand

Something thisThis is a great thriller, filled with impressive visual effects and intense suspense. The set design of this film felt grandeur and spectacular, which I felt was great but it inhibited some much needed emotional human moments. Something this film had plenty of were jump scares, which can only be seen as effective in a zombie movie. I did like the realistic tone that was present throughout, making me believe that a zombie outbreak could really happen. Unlike I Am Legend, I thought the way World War Z solved this global catastrophe was believable and eye-opening. Of course the star of World War Z is Brad Pitt, and he does a great job in my opinion portraying the character. My real problem is with the actual character itself. It seems as if this guy is invincible and can overcome any obstacle that comes in his way. I didn't read the book so I'm not sure if that's how the character is written, but it did draw me out of the movie at times. The ending felt very rushed which did affect my grade of the movie; however this is a solid film with more style than substance.… Expand

Who hadn't fun watching this? Seriously, the first minutes of the film are so damn good, everything happens so fast. I saw it at 2am and believe me, it was an experience. World War Z is an exciting movie filled with intense sequences of violence, horror and fun. I'm not a huge fan of the zombie sub-genre and I haven't read the book. However this one was very surprising to me, I felt engaged with the main character and I cared about his family.

Yeah it has a few flaws but it delivers lots of astonishing moments, memorable action sequences and great performances. Brad Pitt performs Gerry Lane's character and he does a pretty good job during the whole film. His character is believable and well... he's actually the smartest character in the movie. In addition, shout out here to Daniella Kertesz, she performed "Segen" a very important character in the film. She and Brad Pitt are awesome here.

WWZ relies on human perspective and how we would react if something like this happens. Moving on, its final act is scary and makes you feel claustrophobic. Even though the ending does not explain some important issues about the plot, the whole film was pretty solid and never dull. I recommend you to see it on a huge screen with a loud sound system. So, overall, it is a good flick. World War Z is a tense thriller, decently directed and terrifying at times. [B+]… Expand

The Bad: When the infected aren't attacking en mass, they aren't scary or creepy at all. In fact, they are silly and humorous, causing most of the crowd to burst out in laughter when they appeared on the screen ... which isn't what they were shooting for. While I enjoyed the final scenes in the end, I disliked some of the events that led up to it.

The acting in the movie is not the bad thing in this movie, it's just the lazy boring plot. The movie starts off with HARDLY any breathing time, all you know is that there is a loving family, and their going out for a drive. The zombies come, and from here on there it just keeps going.... =.=

You basically follow Brad Pitt the whole movie as he travels around the world, searching for a cure, and reuniting with his personality drained family. I can't just go on and on how the story goes, I'll just mention some scenes.

A guy slips and on accident, shoots himself in the face

A bunch of zombies pile up on each other and make it past giant wall protecting a city

Brad Pitt survives a plain crash, and although wounded, walks it off and survives

These scenes are just silly, and don't make sense, and the zombies piling up on each other is borderline cartoony. I don't know why I hate the guy shooting himself on accident so much, it just seemed lazy, and I laughed my ass off when i saw it. Surviving a plane crash? No comment.

It ends off with Brad Pitt finding a cure, and reuniting with his family. Humanity finds a way to fight back against the zombie plague, as they start bombing zombies with jets. This ending didn't really bother me, it left off with a happy note. Overall, this is just a boring movie, although some scenes will give you a good laugh… Expand

Theorld War Z contains some impressive set pieces - sequences that, taken on their own, are either tense or visually arresting. As a whole, however, it's a letdown with a strange mixture of epic apocalyptic material and generic zombie stuff. The episodic storyline is scattershot, moving from location to location (sometimes without seeming rhyme or reason) just to keep the action mobile and the setting from becoming static. The special effects are certainly impressive but some of World War Z's biggest scenes (all of which are in the TV commercials and trailers) don't have the best payoffs. The screenplay feels like the culmination of all sorts of things being thrown against a wall to see what sticks. As it turns out, there's not enough.

At its best, World War Z is capable of generating suspenseful stretches. Two sequences in particular - the military guys preparing to re-fuel the plane in South Korea and the mission into the zombie-infested wing of the WHO building - recall scenes from Aliens. The airplane segment is also high on the excitement scale. Unfortunately, these are exceptions. Much of World War Z comes across as generic zombie/apocalypse material that replicates beats from previous films. Maybe it's not possible to make a unique or surprising zombie movie considering how overexposed the category has become but I was expecting something a little more intelligent than a re-hash of other productions.

World War Z violates two of my rules. The first is never to neuter R-rated material so the final release gets a PG-13, and that's exactly what happens here. Based on content, this should have been an "R," but the needs of the studio outweigh the needs of the adult viewer, so odd shot angles have been incorporated (including an overabundance of shaky hand-held shots that obscure not only gore but pretty much everything else) and most of the hacking, slashing, and biting occurs just off-screen. Then there's the 3-D precept: use this tool only when it positively impacts the viewing experience - something routinely ignored by would-be blockbusters, and this is no exception. The 3-D serves no purpose here and should have been jettisoned. World War Z isn't 3-D neutral; it's 3-D negative.

As Gerry, Brad Pitt does a solid job providing an "everyman" hero who, despite his military background, isn't some kind of superman disguised as a mere mortal. Gerry knows how to use a gun but isn't a sharpshooter. He can hold his own in a fight but won't be sending Zod crashing through three-dozen skyscrapers. His powers of deduction are a little Sherlockian - he figures out important things with minimal information, but I'll forgive World War Z for that. It's easy to root for Gerry although it would have been easier if the secondary story with his family received more than perfunctory development. Along the way, he acquires a sidekick (Daniella Kertesz) but she's as forgettable as everyone else not played by Brad Pitt.

World War Z still leaves me looking for the first Great Blockbuster of 2013. It's passable big budget entertainment and works as a diversion but the movie frequently substitutes impressive CGI shots of zombie swarms for storytelling. The rushed ending also leaves a bad taste. And fans of Brooks' source material are going to wonder what happened. Zombie lovers will probably enjoy this but it doesn't offer much meat to anyone else. Add director Marc Forster to the list of directors who have missed the mark in developing something riveting to shake up this year's roster.… Expand

Bottom line: Standard big budget zombie movie; it has its thrilling moments but it isn’t particularly innovative and, yet, I've seen it twice.

Brad Pitt plays Gerry, a top former UN war crimes investigator. He left the service to spendBottom line: Standard big budget zombie movie; it has its thrilling moments but it isn’t particularly innovative and, yet, I've seen it twice.

Brad Pitt plays Gerry, a top former UN war crimes investigator. He left the service to spend more time with his wife and two daughters. A strange infection, initially thought to be rabies, envelopes the world in zombie chaos so, in exchange for the safekeeping of his family, Gerry goes back into service searching for the source (and a cure) for the plague.

This is a very global movie. We have the American Gerry, working with the UN as he drives from Philadelphia to Newark to a military base in Korea to Israel to Whales ultimately finding himself in Nova Scotia. If you notice in the trailer, Brad Pitt asks a man, “How do I get into Moscow?” The man answers, “Moscow is a black hole.” In the movie, they say India instead of Moscow. From what I hear, it was one of several production decisions made for marketing purposes.

One of the more interesting aspects of the film is the positioning of Israel. A week before the outbreak, the soldiers from the Korean UN military base send out an email with the word “zombie.” Everyone but the Israeli president ignores the email who orders the construction of a massive wall around Jerusalem. A week later, the zombie scourge planet is enveloped in the zombie plague. “What made you believe the memo,” asks Gerry. He explains that during WWII, they could not believe that Jews were being sent to concentration camps and they could not believe they would be attacked during the 1974 Olympics and they could not believe that they would be attacked despite Arab troop movements. He explains that there had to be a change otherwise, they could quite possibly be destroyed. What is the downfall of Jerusalem? They let anyone into the city. While charitable, once a Palestinian group starts singing songs of praise using a megaphone, the noise draw zombies who overrun the wall.

Gerry meets an Israeli soldier named Segen (Kertesz). In a dash to escape, a zombie scratches her hand and, to prevent the spread of the disease, Gerry cuts it off. To what extent can we examine this sequence with respect to the larger role Israel plays in the movie and to what extent can we look at this as a statement about US/UN/Israel relations? Allegedly, North Korea pulled the teeth out of every one of its citizens to prevent people from spreading the disease through bites. We hear this story from a former CIA agent (who was caught selling guns to North Korea) whose teeth have been removed. The role each of the nations seem to play within the movie is interesting. It's one of the reasons I've seen this twice (and why I wouldn't mind seeing it again).

I don’t really have too too much else to say about this movie. Brad Pitt does a great job. It doesn’t feel like a long movie. It is more thrilling than scary. It would be fun to see on a Friday night or Saturday night in the comfort of one’s home.… Expand

There's no denying it: zombies are fashionable, a lot because of some successful TV shows. And Hollywood did not escape the invasion. This movie is basically a war against the zombies, who come out of nowhere and infest the world.

The script is poor: coming from nowhere and without reason or explanation, the world is plagued by a zombie apocalypse. Gerry Lane is able to save his family at great cost, but ends up having to rely on United Nations support, which they use to recruit him, almost by force, for a mission in Korea, where the zombie infestation is presumed to have started. From there, we basically run the world, watching its destruction, in contrast to the desperate attempts to save it, on the part of the main character. There is no functional road map, and the story turns out to be a trip around the world in the midst of chaos.

The characters are poorly constructed. We know nothing, are mere figures for a story made to be swift and action-packed, like an ordinary blockbuster. So there is little material for the actors to shine, and neither does Brad Pitt escape a poor performance. The film is improved in the more technical aspects, where it is excellent. There is a lot of money involved in this very high budget movie, so we can see the best special effects and sound effects, great visual effects and high quality CGI, in addition to a careful characterization, especially the zombies. The costumes and sets were also very well thought out.

Thought to sell quickly, the film features Brad Pitt (he sells a film reasonably well), zombies (it's fashionable) and lots of action and some gore to make it to the box office. However poorly it may be from the point of view of art and history told, it is a film to sell quickly, to raise a good amount of money and, from that point of view, worked well for the industry.… Expand

Aqui o roteirista resolveu pôr limites na trama e isso acaba levando a apatia em diversos momentos. Não sentimos uma sensação de perigo pois, mesmo com zumbies implacáveis, temos a sensação de que o roteiro está ajudando o protagonista de maneiras grotescas, forçando uma imagem de herói no mesmo. Elas não trabalham com o psicológico dele e muito menos dos outros personagens. Não da pra empatizar com ninguém, fora a forma como abordaram o virologista, como se ele realmente estivesse aproveitando tudo que está acontecendo no mundo e tivesse ansioso para resolver tudo, o que é muito bizarro. Eles acertam em algumas coisas e simplesmente ignoram outras tão obvias que chega até a doer. Como o fato de que o garoto perdeu os pais e o Garry Lane nem se quer oferece seus pêsames, mesmo o diretor demonstrando que o mesmo tem um carinho pela criança. Também há de mencionar que a violência gráfica faz falta, já que zombie nunca foi um tema para crianças. Não tô falando de gore propriamente dito, mas uma violência que impacte. E é claro que sem personagens desenvolvidos, a violência não faz tanta falta assim. Não há empatia nenhuma em ver alguém sem a perna, mas se esse for um personagem que tu admira/gosta, a historia muda...

Enfim, isso é o de menos, há diversos furos e incongruências no roteiro, e infelizmente isso faz com que fiquemos apáticos por grande parte do filme, que tinha um grande potencial nas mãos.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was a good movie, there wasn't anything story wise I felt was lacking, it's been a long time since I watched a movie that kept me engaged. Of course there are some silly moments along the way that existed solely to move the plot or create action scenes but they're not so egregious that they ruin the film. It's more of an action movie than a typical horror flick, the story-conflict gets resolved in a very impactful way, it was just a small gesture but the way it was presented made it worth the anticipation. It's really a movie that makes you want more, it ends in a way that gives the viewer some hint as to aftermath of the story, helping to flesh out the story-setting a lot more. The things I did not like however;
>The zombies aren't mutated enough, they just look like sick people. Towards the end they look more deformed but it's really not enough. >The zombies exist solely to spread the disease, The behavior they exhibit makes little sense, they don't feed off anything throughout the duration of the movie, presumably if left alone they'd all just wilt and die
>The movie assumes most people are healthy, most people are carrying all sorts of diseases which would make them quite invisible to the zombies, so the potential for so many people to get infected is not all that high. There are somethings I absolutely loved though;

Its very frantic and thus fast paced, if anything too fast paced by how quickly the situation developed with little information provided as to why. Another couple of terms to describe this movie, I'd say, are frenetic and also disorientating.

I found it somewhat amusing how seriously they seemed to take the notion this this disease thats spreading all over the world is caused by zombies - although a small amount of scepticism is initially voiced, it seems to be accepted soon after by those of a military background but I'd imagine this wouldn't be the case in real life(!).

The effects, to be honest, on the whole are fairly standard for such movies of this day and ages - I'd say the scares sometimes come more from he low light and things hiding in the background than from the visual effects, although some of the zombies are portrayed, I suppose, quite realistically (if that makes any sense), in as much as people are shown with possessed like, colourful, bulging eyes and with thin, vein-y skin and flailing, swiping hand movements. Whats more impressive are the sweeping panoramic landscape shots of different countries/areas, showing how widespread this invasion is, clearly (well, presumably) using CGI to create the impression of 1000s of 'the undead' dispersing en mass. There are also some explosions shown as well, which are a bit dramatic.

I feel I should perhaps also mention that some scenes take place in the air or on naval fleetships, basically away from the main land and so your left guessing what the bigger picture is and whats going on, on the mainland.

Of course this is quite a grim movie - that's to be expected. Some plot elements I found particularly hard to believe but then the whole movie in general is one that relies on leaps of the imagination I suppose. I do, however, wish more background information was given. The ending I felt wasn't great overall, some may feel cheated by the eventual outcome, although its far from a Hollywood ending.

Cast wise, of course there's Brad Pitt as the main character, Gerry Lane. His family are shown as being quite dependent on him and of course he plays the role as the manly action hero, one of humanitys last hopes, forced to use his training to try to survive and all the rest of it. This is nothing new for Pitt really. Other actors present include Matthew Fox (of US drama 'Lost' fame) in a short role as a parajumper and Peter Capaldi, who is the new Doctor Who and who plays a WHO doctor (WHO being the World Health Organisation).

Content wise, well of course there's violence present and its rather dark in terms of the themes but thats very much to be expected. Violence wise, its not especially graphic, this movie carries a 15 certificate, so yes there's some unpleasant moments but nothing overly bloody is shown in a great amount of detail, probably thankfully for most of us(!). Otherwise I can't think of much else to mention, its pretty much what you'd probably expect and I certainly wouldn't like to think of particularly young kids watching this because of the content on a general level of course, again hence the rating. I don't think there's much more that can be said in that regard.

There's heavy use of the musical score at points, to, of course, create atmosphere and tension, add to the sense of hope at some points and despair at other times. I noted particular use of an unpleasant sound like feedback from an untuned mic, used to presumably disorientate the viewer in a sense. Its certainly quite a suspenseful movie and it did keep me feeling 'on the edge of my seat' as I watched it, I think its fair to say, although I couldn't help but wish a bit more was known at certain points, to fully understand the current situation. There are some plot holes present I feel which put me off a bit and some of the dialogue seemed a bit cheesy ocassionally but it was certainly a fairly compelling wach and I can't say it wasn't entertaining. I'm not sure I could say this seemed to break any ground in terms of the plot but it was an enjoyable enough watch. I felt the ending was a bit too simplistic but it certainly wasn't boring! overall its a 'good enough' type movie I suppose, for the pickier film viewer, they may be slightly disappointed in it from a storyline point of view but I can't say it doesn't provide an otherwise entertaining watch.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure about this one. There are definitely some good things going for it but there are disadvantages too. I suppose it depends on what your looking for, as more of an action movie its pretty good - as a horror movie, I wouldn't say its perhaps as scary as some other movies, although it is quite suspenseful. Its not too bad and some people would find this quite good but others may feel disappointed by aspects of the storyline, so overall I suppose im on the fence.… Expand

Some things don't really make sense but in general it's a good movie. Not sure what else to say without spoilers

Fix the game, or buy additional server, cause it keeps disconnecting you from the game, so playing co-op with your friends is not an option.

It's enjoyable with good design and idea concept but lacks any real scare moments.

I prefer a slower pace in zombie movies with building atmosphere, which I didn't get here. On the other hand, the action gave me a fast pace that moved the movie along quickly, and so it went by quickly, and I have to say that some of the moments were really cool. Story-wise it was otherwise good. For me, a good movie that I recommend to fans of zombie themes.… Expand

An enjoyable zombie action flick. Doesn't rely on gore like a lot in this crowded genre but builds the suspense exceptionally well.

It's a post-apocalyptic catastrophe film that features what they call zombies. Technically speaking, they wouldn't qualify as zombies because, despite what the WHO doctor claims, they don't appear to pass away. However, a seizure doesn't necessarily result in death, so even after the change they have undergone, they remain alive. Why do I still speak?… Expand
