The review to end all reviews

Rating: 5/10 (4 December 2013)

You know the "World War Z" novel? That magnificent novel about how Humankind survived the Great Panic and the "Zombie War One"? No relation to this movie. So, let's talk about the "Left 4 Dead" series of videogames: chopper escape from rooftops while fighting zombies? Check! Refuelling a cargo plane on an abandoned military tarmac while fighting zombies? Check! Hordes of howling zombies attacking the heroes who narrowly escape? Check again! I swear someone shouted "HUNTER!" in the middle of the game... sorry, middle of the movie! "World War Z" is the recollection of dozens of testimonies about the great zombie epidemic that almost destroyed the Human race; the author interviewed people from every profession, every religion, every nation, who give us their own unique view about how they survived, and how their own personal episode was a piece of the puzzle of Human survival, thus highlighting the best and worse of Human nature. One of the best stories ever! The movie, on the other hand... was nothing such! Play the game. Read the novel. Skip the movie...
