Pitt Vs Zombies

Rating: 2/10 (11 April 2017)

I watched this movie with a friend one night because we heard that it was a zombie film. What we found was not just a zombie film, but also a film with lazy and cliqued characters; poor acting on everyone's part; and a plot that didn't really make sense when you put some extra thought in it.
The characters in this film have about as much depth as a mud puddle. If you have watched a mainstream action movie, you probably have met some of these characters already. Jerry- White male lead with a family that he cares about. Jerry's wife- Concerned mother who is worried about her husband. Jerry's kids- Instant tension generators. Random scientists- Smart people who think the actions of the main character are insane and suicidal but just might work. Everyone else- forgetful background characters. (One could argue that the scientists should also be in this category) It's almost like they spent so much time on rewrites that they forgot to actually develop characters.
The acting in this film is almost like the acting in a high school play except these are paid actors so its even sadder. I don't think I even need to really elaborate on this. (I'm going to anyway) Just watch the scene where Jerry is told his family is getting kicked off of the ship. Everyone there seemed like they were hardly even trying. Every time they were supposed to be upset they just looked bored. In fact in almost every scene they look bored. Did any of the actor actually want to be in this movie? Now I must discuss the plot. The plot centered around zombies who would only attack healthy hosts. So theoretically in just America alone there should be quite a few survivors wondering how they aren't being attack at all. Odd that all the staff at St. Jude's were attacked but none of the children. No but, see if it was that easy to figure out then Jerry would never make it onto the ship and the plot wouldn't even exist. The plot that decided that the zombies wouldn't notice all the noise in the city and climb the wall until AFTER Jerry got there.
