World War Z(2013)- Short Movie Review






Plot Summary:
The story revolves around United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Pitt), who traverses the world in a race against time to stop a pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself. (C) Paramount

Movie Specs:
Rating- PG-13
Sex and Nudity- 0/10 (sorry ladies, no shirtless Brad here)
Language- 1/10 (no profanities that I caught.)
Violence- 4/10 (no gore seen but implied cannibalism. Standard zombie eating people)
Drugs-0/10
Length- 1hr 55 mins

Review:
Zombie flicks are my guilty pleasure and World War Z delivers. This is the most family friendly zombie movie that exists! I wouldn’t pit the book against the movie since both bring something different. From doing a series of indie films, Brad Pitt shows he perfectly capable of carrying a blockbuster in his studly shoulders. He gave a solid performance as a smart “zombie” butt-kicking investigator bent on doing anything to keep his family alive and give humankind a fighting chance against the undead. No slow zombies here. Part of the thrill of this movie is that they move ridiculously fast! This is definitely one zombie flick that would not get lost in the mountains of films and shows borne of the industry’s current fixation of the undead. 

Fave Character:
Brad Pitt as Gerry Lane (strong and vulnerable action hero)

Least Liked Character:
Elyes Gabel as Andrew Fassbach (Really? Was he really mankind's last hope for salvation?)

Fave Quote: (NV)
Andrew Fassbach: (Mother Nature) disguises her weaknesses as strengths. The most brutal aspect of this plague is actually the chink in her armor.

Fave Scene:
Jerusalem breach!
