Better than expected, I've seen all these movies, this is top 10

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2013)

I'm not sure why the critics seem to be harsh on this. This is exactly what an "end of world" zombie movie should be like. What made this one so great was the fact that the film gave you a sense of the worldwide nature of the catastrophe. The amazing set pieces, overhead shots, views of other cities, aircraft carrier, refugee zones, airports, etc. For once an end of world film gave you the sense of scale here and this made is super frightening. Compare to "The Walking Dead" where all the action takes place in a compact area, a farm, a jail, a small town. You get no feeling for how this is affecting the country, let alone the world. Same for most of these movies -- you get a quick intro with a larger set piece, and then the film gets micro - you see a group of survivors in one small area, with zombie attacks, etc. So this is what makes World War Z simply awesome. The Jerusalem sequences are perhaps the best ever filmed for this type of movie. I also like the aircraft carrier scenes, seems realistic of where the last stand would take place. Only at the end of this movie do you get a smaller set, but it is effective. And again, by taking place in another country, the international scale of the war becomes apparent and tickles the imagination. Ten of out 10.
