Ho Humh...Just your standard Zombie movie

Rating: 4/10 (7 July 2014)

If you set your expectations low, you won't be disappointed in this rather standard Zombie movie. With the exception of having Brad Pitt as the star, and having really fast-running Zombies, there's really nothing the differentiates this movie from your standard Zombie flick.
Something happens...ooohh...things start exploding...ahh..crazy people start running around, and boy are they fast. The Zombie craze spreads. Luckily Brad has some sort of special skill, though it didn't look like it to me. He just basically flew around the world asking questions. Reminds me of The International, except with Zombies instead of murderers.
The movie attempts to play to your heartstrings by plucking on his family's plight (wife and 2 girls). How sweet - Brad would rather be with them than flying around the globe saving the world as he gets chased by bloodthirsty Zombies. How boring that would be.
This movie is pretty stupid, and the non-Zombies are sometimes very stupid, but that stupidity really added nothing to the plot or story. The acting was average. The cast was average. The screenplay was average. The CGI was above average because these Zombies really knew how to climb and run and kill people. If that makes it a good movie for you, jump right in.
Finally, the kitsche ending makes you cringe as you say to yourself....jeez I hope they are not setting us up for WWZ2? Enjoy, if you dare...ooh zombies bad, non-zombies good!!! I recommend you pass and wait for it to come out free in your library.
