Review of World War Z (2013) by Gunslingerx1983 — 22 Jun 2013

I have not read the book so I cannot comment on any parallels or compare the two in any way, shape or form. So for those of you that think that "the book is way better" or "this movie has not done the book justice" to you all I see "fair enough but I don't care".

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and considering how much of a troubled production it has had, it has left me astounded that it has turned out so well.

This movie puts its characters first. Unlike most Zombie movies, this one feels like it has purpose and lets you feel like you are on a journey with Gerry Lane. There is no real blood or gore in the movie at all and this serves the movie very well as it is a story of how will the human race survive this and focuses on the story elements it needs to in order to portray this.

Its been a while since Pitt has been in a movie (that I have seen anyway) and for me he did very well and was a welcome return to the screen for him. Props too for him partly funding this movie himself if I am not mistaken to help it get finished.

Hope this film does well at the box office, it deserves to be seen for bringing something fresh to a tired genre.
