don't expect too much

Rating: 6/10 (31 July 2013)

I'm not sure if it's the self-confidence of Brad Pitt or the missing focus of the movie, but I think that World War Z is a zombie movie which although it creates a nice atmosphere has too much problems to be a massive experience.
The first thing I ran into and what bugged me the whole movie was that I didn't care if Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) makes it 'til the end or not. It was like i followed the story but had no one who I wanted to survive the movie... and one thing a zombie movie must have (in my opinion) is one or more protagonists I share the excitement with. So the whole movie doesn't really cause some tension.
Another problem was the self-confidence of the protagonist what is too uncalled for a zombie movie (what may correlate with my first problem) because there is no weakness in his character and so there is no need to be afraid for him.
Nonetheless there were also some nice things, I really liked the zombies and there abilities. There were some really nice scenes (especially in Jerusalem) where they staged the zombies in an awesome way.
Another positive aspect was that you felt the zombie cataclysm on the whole world and not like in other movies just in one town which creates some really oppressive atmosphere.
All in all it's a zombie movie like you get dozens of out there. But it really has some nice footage and the zombies have a nice touch. So if you like zombies you can watch it but don't expect something special like I did.
