World War Z is your average, run of the mill zombie movie.

Rating: 3/10 (30 June 2013)

World War Z fails to bring anything new and exciting to the genre by sticking to a generic plot line that we have seen far too many times in other zombie movies. This doesn't mean the movie was completely bad, the acting was on par, and action scenes were tense and thrilling. However, good acting and descent action scenes cannot compensate for a lack of originality and a lazily written plot. My main issue with this movie was how little I cared about the fates of each character. While the actors did a good job making the characters seem believable, there was not enough work done on the writers' side to develop the characters and make me want to care for their survival. If you can ignore the predictable plot, cheesy clichés, and uninteresting characters, World War Z becomes a mediocre zombie flick.
