World War C+. ♦ 50%

Rating: 5/10 (25 December 2013)

If this film would have been a college test, it would get a C+. Coveting a Z is far-fetched expectation because the whole premise has more flaws than 2013's number of mega-flops.
Starting with fast-paced thrills which only looks like zombie apocalypse turns into a parade of improbable plot twists. Many factors which are stitched together in this gimmick are flawed: the character of Brad Pitt in the whole drama, the zombie premise, the inconclusive dumb kind of an ending. I have never seen such an incomplete film made solely on a single "twist" factor which only comes around towards the end, minutes before the end credits. It makes the whole 2-hour adventure a circus show where not only zombies, but also the people confronting them are dumb.
The starting credits showing photographs of cities around the world kinda intrigued me and I sat there revving my expectation up. Then, the pretentious plot started its fabricated course; as if every single turn in the screenplay was thought with a well-decorated closure i.e. "the twist."
Brilliant photography & fine CGI makes it pretty watchable but it is highly uncertain if you would enjoy it, accounting the huge list of epic zombie movies we have in catalog...
BOTTOM LINE: It would be unwise if Brad Pitt is the single factor you would consider to watch a film constructed on an ambitious novel and popular cliché.
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
