Non Stop Action, No relation to the Book

Rating: 5/10 (6 July 2013)

If you haven't read the book and if you like the non-stop frenetic action of modern American blockbusters with rapid cuts and lots of CGI, you will LOVE this movie. If on the other hand you were expecting to see a movie adaptation of World War Z, you won't. Really the only thing from World War Z in this movie is the title and an occasional bit of dialog. None of the plot, outcome, or circumstances of the book survive. Not sure what they paid for the rights but they wasted their money.
For those of us who liked the book, this movie is very disappointing. To be fair the book is a narrative of a writer going around after the war is long over and that might have been hard to make into a movie. Even so, anyone who knows the book is going to be watching an empty blockbuster while thinking of a well-plotted, thought provoking book.
See it if you must, but you might buy the book on Disk instead. That way you'll get 5 hours of riveting, thought provoking story with Hollywood actors (including Alan Alda) telling their stories instead of another 2 hours of your life you'll never get back.
