World War zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Rating: 3/10 (29 September 2013)

Contains Spoilers! I didn't know anything about the movie before I saw it, but I was expecting maybe some political undertones or cleverness or reference to the other world wars but it was soon apparent that the only enemy in the movie is a virus that causes people to twerk uncontrollably. No politics, no territorial disputes, just a lot of zombies anxious to get the best "black Friday" deal at Walmart. What would have been funny is if after Brad's wife calls him in Korea and the phone wakes up the zombies he would have answered and said "I thought I told you never to call me at work!" What was (unintentionally?) funny was the smugness of the Israelis and their country surrounded by zombie-proof walls. Even the schlocky "2012" had a better story of a dad and his family escaping destruction. WWZ disappoints all the way to the stupid conclusion. How does this get 7.1 stars from IMDb? Most of the reviews seem to be under 5 stars.
