Z For Zombies. A for Stars

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2013)

Saw the trailer at the Man of Steel's premier last week. It WHOA-ed me enough to buy the tickets 2 days before the screening. World War Z is the mother of virus-spreading-zombie film! Less than 5 minutes after the intro credits, the action already begins. No slow introduction, no rubbish talks.
From New York streets to New Jersey apartment to Pyeongtaek military camp to Jerusalem fortress to Belarusian airplane to Welsh WHO facility, trust me, you will be GLUED to the screen, because the action are non- stop. Quoting my pal Fairuz, "there's no resting while watching this film". Your adrenaline rushes, anticipating and dreading of what would happen next.
Salute to Brad Pitt for giving splendid performance as the (retired) UN- special-officer. The Pepsi-drinking scene is quite cool. After surviving the holocaust in the US soil, he's given the task to protect a promising-young virologist Dr. Fassbach in searching for the cure, the vaccine of the pandemic.
Little did they know, what awaits them in South Korea. Didn't recognize any of the other cast, except for the WHO doctor, whom triggered my usual "who the heck is this dude/chick? So darn familiar!" sense. Later found out that he acted in Angels & Demons and Narnia.
The zombies look real enough. Have the standard of rabies-infected- people like in Rec. They're vicious and fast and intelligent too. They react to something and they refuse to something. I won't spoil that.
But I just gotta say this: the piling up to overcome tall fences is pretty sickening! I never thought Zombies could that. That's why I said, the Zombies in WWZ are smarter, than their cousins in Resident Evil or Dawn of the Dead.
World War Z is like the fusion of Contagion, 28 Days Later, Dredd, Rec and Resident Evil. You enjoyed those films? Well, you certainly will LOVE World War Z then. Even if you haven't watched them, you would still be entertained.
Verdict: Satisfaction-GUARANTEED! ;D
