Movie Review 1 World War Z


World War Z
Rating: PG-13                                                                Run Time: 1 hour and 56 minutes

I watched this movie a few days ago; I thought that Brad Pitt had an excellent performance. The basic premise of the movie is Brad Pitt’s character; Gary Lane UN investigator is traveling the world trying to find a cure for the zombie outbreak.  Time is against him because he must find a way to spot or slow down the outbreak before this family gets hurt. This is a classic action/ apocalyptic movie; it has scenes that demonstrate a zombie apocalypse perfectly.
Pros: Great cast, Brad Pitt and James Dale had a perfect connection the whole movie. Well-executed scenes, the movie has very well directed scenes for example the when they were in the city when the first outbreak happened. Fantastic visuals, the large panning shots of Jerusalem’s Wall made the outbreak look more realistic.
Cons: The make up for the zombies was not that great, after watching the walking dead we have a certain idea of what zombies should look like, the ones in World War Z did not deliver.  The second problem is the movie didn't stick to the book that much, the book had some chapters that would have been great for the movie, but instead they were cutout.
Overall: This is a good movie, it has a flaw or two, but I would watch this movie again. If you have read the book, you may not like it as much.

Is it on Netflix: Yes
Would you recommend: Yes
Score: 70%
