Having a zombie movie with a blockbuster budget and a worldwide scope is refreshing, and I liked some economical choices they made with the story. But Marc Forster is not the best action director (just hold the damn camera still) and the budget was so big that the studio in response refused to take any risks. As a result, we get serviceable PG-13 fare with a happy ending that, while entertaining and action-packed, doesn't achieve anything great or live up to its potential.

A film that has absolutely nothing to do with the book apart from the title. Wow. Everywhere in the world Brad Pitt shows up, 2 minutes later there's a major zombie outbreak that only he survives. Shooting him into space might have been the best choice. And the big reveal that will help humanity fight back against the undead? Ugh.

Saw this flick with no sound, it was on in the background while I played a game of Scrabble with a friend. He was kinda slow on his turns so I had lots of time to marvel at how bad the CGI is and how old Brad Pitt looks in this. Also from what I could tell, it took nothing but the title from the source material. In the end, I actually played the word ZOMBIES on a triple word score, got the 50 point bonus for using all my tiles, and won by a landslide. Well played, me.

A no-nonsense (or, actually, all-nonsense, I guess) summer blockbuster mess having all sorts of problems not worth getting into. Because what I'm recommending 'World War Z' for (and just barely) are the awesome Istanbul money shots. Forster's zombies know how to bloody move, I'll say that.

lol fucking calum marsh claiming this movie is good because its formal incoherence mirrors the experience of witnessing an apocalypse. i mean sure, the end of the world would probably be confusing and loud and protracted, but i can't imagine it'd be this bloodless and boring, nor so populated by 2D stereotypes and played-out genre tropes.

Certainly a realistic depiction of how overwhelming a global zombie apocalypse could be, but much like Contagion, it presents more possibilities than answers. The problem is, the zombie genre is way too saturated and we've seen all this before. Plenty of action and frightening zombies, but nothing new/innovative. Visually, it's dark and full of unnecessary shaky cam. The best moments are when the camera pans back for the dramatic scenes of city-wide destruction. Worth a view for apocalypse fans.

Hollywood's summer blockbuster crack at a big budget zombie flick comes studded with loads of senseless moments that serve only to pump as much suspense out of the audience as possible. Most of the scenes come out pretty thrilling, but a lackluster script and a flop of an adaptation of the source material weighs it down to typical entertainment.

Between the brisk pace and the sheer spectacle of cg-zombie hordes winning the corporate team-building challanges, WWZ gets the job done pretty well. It also proves that you can actually make an effective bloodless zombie flick, while at the same time proving how goddamn ridiculous and arbitrary the American censorship rules are.

When it comes to zombies I am no connoisseur, in fact I usually find zombie movies as brain-dead as the monsters in which they feature. I know one thing though: Be they used for sloppy no-budget satire or rage-paced virulent former Englishmen - or even stoned black dudes standing around in some southern American cornfield, you can trust in gore - always. Zombies gotta eat - we gotta watch. When 'World War Z' fails at such a fundamental level, I laugh. I have no more tears for you, Hollywood...

As far as I'm concerned any movie that Brad Pitt is in you can eliminate the words horror of scary (unless your referring to the acting ....But I digress) Basically it's a good action flick and the enemy is the zombie plague and let's face it the zombies are laughable they don't even look like zombies George A. Romero was probably mortified when this came out

Haven't read the book, but fancy giving it a go after seeing this. Parts of this are very effective - the opening scenes shot in Glasgow, Jerusalem-based pile o'zombs and the frighteningly quick spread of the whatever-it-was. Other parts, such as the family drama, and the Wales-based sequence, don't really add much to the experience. An enjoyable enough zombie/outbreak mash-up, but perhaps not enough novelty is brought to the table to make this a classic.

Can't say I was surprised by this movie's awfulness, but did they REALLY need to take the name of a generally respected novel and then hardly use anything from said book? The movie follows every Hollywood disaster/zombie flick cliche as if it was routine, to the point they even use all the stock sound effects and music you've heard from other movies. The poor writing, child acting and inconsistent plot didn't make it better. Am I supposed to be impressed by any of this?

At least it wasn't boring? I mean it follows most blockbuster film cliches out there, but it certainly wasn't intolerable and it definitely built a palpable amount of suspense. The acting was decent too. Pretty much all of the problems were in the predictable and lazy writing.

Episodic and meaningless blockbuster that fails on its own terms thanks to a weak third act. Leaves the impression that the filmmakers didn't know what they were doing or why they were doing it, for which they were roundly punished by having to accept a mere $540 million in worldwide ticket sales. Will they never learn?

I've always seen zombies as sort of a metaphor for disease, which makes me not a big lover of "fast zombies" - it kind of makes the whole thing into more of an "animals attack" movie. I do think the chaos of the initial attack is pretty cool, especially the mania of a grocery store being looted, and there's some interesting and clever bits toward the end. A lot of the middle grew tiring to me though. I do give them credit for actually using the word "zombie."

Picks up a smidge after the wooden wife and prerequisite irritating kids are dropped, and there are a couple of amusingly silly moments, but this is complete seen-it-all-before summer junk, full of tired clichés, glaring inconsistencies and crowbar plot devices. Perhaps they're explained better in the book but here all you can do is imagine the pre-production brainstorming session: "Hey, it'd be cool if THIS happened next!" "Yeah, but why would it?" "Who cares - let's do it!"

Brad Pitt appears to possess super powers. He's able to survive any over the top life or death situation. There's one scene where he literally survives an epic crash only to walk away with minor injuries. Forget about what the plot is actually about or the supposed middle east political allegories, yadda yadda etc. etc. and imagine if you will that Brad Pitt is really Superman fighting zombies and this movie becomes so much better. I await my future royalties for coming up with this idea first..

Brad Pitt might give a charismatic performance, but that is not enough to pull the dreck that is World War Z out of the water. World War Z is confused as to the film it wants to be. The characters don't develop for a character drama nor is there any tension for a thriller. The action is barely functional as it is. The movie is held together by the thinnest of plots and tons of amazing coincidences.

It falls victim to blockbuster logic early and often. It's a mockery of its source material. But somehow, by achieving mere competence, World War Z gets a pass. It's relatively enjoyable because, you know, zombies and all. Doesn't set the world on fire; much better than it could have been.

If not an out-and-out disaster, it's still a deeply flawed film, an uncomfortable mix of blockbuster heroics (bloodless, to secure a PG-13) and procedural which falters when it tries to engage the heart--especially in regard to the hero's (Brad Pitt) family--and fares only sporadically well when it tries to be thought-provoking. Ironically, the third act--focus of much of the retooling--works best, generating some genuine suspense. The best asset is Daniella Kertesz's understated performance.

Zombie epidemic shown in a global scale sounds awesome but the novelty of it is quickly brought down by the idiotic screenplay and impersonal characters. I'm especially talking about Gerry. Looking old and sad does not suddenly make you an interesting character. Also the supernaturally fast zombies weren't particularly convincing or scary.

LookJabba... | 5 30th |
World War Z initially looked like a promising and new take on the Zombie genre. The sense of scale here is much bigger and overwhelming than we've seen in previous Zombie films, but content wise we've seen it all before. The opening is intense and exciting, but over time the thin plot tires. The film soon begins to feel like a bunch of spectacular but pointlessly strung together set pieces. Brad Pitt is as reliable as ever, but a lack of depth and purpose make this just a very average watch.

A Hollywood amalgamation of popular modern zombie movies as Brad Pitt stars as "Action Man" the one true hope for humanity. Make sure to not get bit as we globe trot around the world running from poorly CGI infected zombies. Where the effectiveness of the hordes of zombies rely on the character's importance to the plot. Before watching eat your own brains.

Though the smaller moments are occasionally wonderful, the big action scenes don't really work, and a lot of the middle feels like filler. All a result of the plot being too contrived and twisty for its own good. The first and last 20 minutes, and the airplane sequence, were great. Has some jarring tonal shifts, with certain shots depicting the zombies near-comically in an otherwise extremely grim narrative.

I really enjoyed it; it was full throttle all along, extremely tense and disorienting. I'm a big fan of Forster's visual style and this one was the most enjoyable one since Stay. The Human Tower scene was beautiful and they put at least an effort to distinguish individual rombies (rabid zombies), and some of them are really creepy. It was like Contagion on amphetamines. And man, we are really afraid of hungry people, aren't we?

Brad Pitt and Marc Forester find an unlikely success with World War Z---a highly entertaining and suspenseful outbreak thriller that is almost impossibly good considering its production issues. Pitt delivers a strong performance and the plot moves at a great pace, amounting to a tight 2 hour run time full of great suspense. Even the PG-13 zombies aren't 'I-Am-Legend' bad as I feared. This is a solid summer movie.

As much as I want to deride the film for cutting the impact of its drama for a PG13 rating, you know what? I was a kid once. You gotta send the elevator back down. And despite a lack of blood, the movie still manages to serve up a handful of unnerving sequences with a number of legitimate thrills and scares. The final third was obviously cobbled together with a different crew (the DP change is quite noticeable) but it works much better than a movie with this messy of a production history should.

Snazz | 60 50th |
I can't help thinking that it's a shame to waste Pitt's talent on making a movie that mostly turns to the simplicity of very graphical and panic-filled horror scenes as its main scare tactics. It doesn't even bring anything new to the table story wise. Though, it is interesting to see a big Hollywood production like this let out a zombie outbreak - that almost never happens. Seeing it as a big zombie production, and nothing more, I think it clears the bar. A decent 2 hour watch for a Sunday.

Blockbuster filmmaking without any character, soul, or bite. Everything from Brad Pitt's uncommitted performance (the guy can be amazing sometimes but he has nothing to work with here), the complete lack of unique character traits, the pathetic PG-13 action, the generic score and the dulled colour scheme adds up to just another depressing example of paint-by-numbers Hollywood fare. Competently made, I guess, but who gives a shit if there's nothing but emptiness at the heart of it?

Brad Pitt jumps on the zombie train. Zombie movies have tread so much ground in the previous ten years that it seems nothing will surprise viewers anymore, and while this is a bit generic, it's notable that "World War Z" emphasizes the danger of the zombie horde, so much so, in fact, that it features the characteristic zombie pile up. There's something in this small idea that harkens back to zombies as a social satire for consumerism. For this, I find World War Z at least watchable.

World War Z isn't a movie about zombies, it's a movie about class war. The sickly masses turn against the upper class, who promptly employ the military institution to shoot them in the head. The subtext is certainly interesting but the movie itself doesn't have much to offer. The plot is nonexistant and you're treated to random scenes of Brad Pitt getting into various problematic situations, usually featuring spectacularly idiotic writing.

The first half is alright, second half post Korea airbase is terrible. The big climactic action scene in Israel feels like those in the SW prequels, just weightless mass and explosions. Not to get all nerd ABLOO BLOO about it (already brought up Star Wars...) but the amount of memorable stuff they didn't even touch from the book is shocking. For other people who read it, you'd think Battle of Yonkers and the celebrity fortress reality show would definitely be in it, nope bullshit lab sequence.

I enjoyed it for the sheer novelty of it being the most expensive zombie film ever made and seeing the result of a disastrous production. It's not very good, but it's cool to see a zombie outbreak done on such a massive scale. The new third act is refreshing after an hour of over-the-top CGI zombie piles, but the "solution" still seems like an hastily written half-measure. I also love Brad Pitt, so this was a pleasure to watch despite the unseen gore and other issues.

About as solid a movie like this could be. Doesn't have enough substance to warrant a great score, but it certainly has great visuals and some great, exciting action. Endgame felt very video gamey, but was executed perfectly. No parts of the dialogue stood out as making my toes curl, so that also puts it way ahead of other movies in its genre.

World War Z is a paid-for vacation for Brad Pitt to visit a bunch of exotic locations and then work on his cardio has he runs away from "zombies," leaving millions of people to die. The film is as generic as can be, and strays so far from the "fresh" book that one has to wonder why they even secured the rights to its story. The family is superfluous, Pitt's boring, and the entire movie isn't worth seeing.

An entertaining summer blockbuster but nothing more. Basically the audience gets random set pieces and vague plot points for Brad Pitt to fight zombies. Even with a PG-13 rating it still retains the ability to create suspense. But like I said its a summer blockbuster. There's a lot of unexplored depth to this film and given the source material it should have been a lot better.

The zombies are almost too threatening, making the encounters extremely limited and scattered. When they do wreak havoc, it's tense and horrifying, but almost unbelievable anyone would survive. Too many deus ex machinas to be great. Too many genuinely thrilling moments to be considered bad.

This might be the best zombie apocalypse movie yet made. Brad Pitt gives and excellent performance as the investigator tracking the source of the outbreak. Filled with memorable moments and twists. Riveting and exciting, keeps you on the edge of your seat. Nice mix of heartwarming and terrifying moments. However, those zombies had super human speed, strength, collective intelligence and ability to perceive deadly illness, which was just too weird. High production quality, and amazing music.

This movie is awful, it's just a very big budget action movie taking itself too seriously with an absurd story, there is no character development at all, they all seem so painfully flat except for the zombies they were cool trying to kill all these annoying characters. I think Marc Forster is trying to convert us all into brainless zombies with his stupid movies.

It's pretty good but misses it's chance to be really great. It has it's share of flaws but to me at least, the biggest one is the fact that the main character Gerry always escapes "sole survivor syndrome". I hate it when everything revolves around one person who can do no wrong and always survives and is the only reason anyone else does either. Not one other person can figure this shit out aside from him.

a pretty effective summer blockbuster zombie flick; nothing done particularly well, including acting, dialogue and plot; managed to be suspenseful though

Sharing very little with the source material, this zombie movie wholly lets down fans of the text and the genre. The plot is hard to swallow, as Brad Pitt jets from country to country only narrowly avoiding death while thousands around him perish. The monsters themselves are impressive in certain grand-scale scenes, created with some neat special effects, but the acting is lacklustre, the violence too tame, and the narrative not at all engaging.
