entertaining, thrilling but flawed and can be a head scratcher for some

Rating: 7/10 (1 November 2013)

I haven't read the novel so my review is solely based on the film.
This film has all the chances and the potential to be one of the greatest "Zombie Apocalypse" movie of all time, I was totally expecting a concept that nobody has done before till it kept teasing us with those questionable and feebly scenes especially when they always startled the "zekes". The story lacks depth, the only distinctive thing about this film is that the zombies were extraordinary in my opinion, they were very intense,fast and so hard on people that made me cringe (not your average walking dead zombie). However, It's still a disappointment especially for those audiences who expected a lot on this film (including me)
On a positive note, hands down to Brad Pitt he did a remarkable and outstanding job portraying the protagonist,the savior & the father that will do everything for his family whatever's at stake, it may conceivably the reason why it's facile to relate, empathized & root for him. i'll give this movie 7 out of 10, i could have rated it lower but i was blown away by the cinematography and how Brad Pitt carried the burden of this film. This film may not be on a staggering or spectacular level but it's still worthy to be a box office hit
