World War Z is an action-packed summer hit that doesn't have a whole lot to it. I expected action and a different kind of zombie plot story. I got both so I can't be too disappointed as this film attempted to be something different, but ultimately just became another forgetful summer action flick.
From the very beginning, when Brad Pitt's Gerry Lane is talking with his family during breakfast, the filmmakers decided to use an action cam for quick movement. This instantly drew me off, but the shaky action filming didn't end as the rest of the movie was a thrill ride without too much guidance.
I heard that there was conflict between the producers on where the plot was heading and from watching the movie, I don't doubt it. An expert scientist slipped and shot himself with a gun. Gerry was impaled and still survived. In the end, we got a Brad Pitt Jesus figure drinking Pepsi who realized that getting sick will make the zombies want to stay away from you. Not a bad ending as it is something different, but it's nothing special.
Overall, this film had a high budget and delivered its thrills and special effects, but it lacked a more decisive plot that could have made the film much better. Conclusion: Nothing Special
Rating: 6.75/10
