Zombie action solely relying on its entertainment value

Rating: 6/10 (30 June 2020)

"World War Z" is about a zombie apocalypse. Much more than that is not needed to know, and much more than that is practically never really answered in the film. Based on the novel by Max Brooks, Brad Pitt stars as highly skilled fighter and ex UN employee in this straightforward action film. Director Marc Forster does not play around with any emotions or major character arcs, instead it's all focused on zombie slaying in almost every continent on Earth. Visually appealing and entertaining, "World War Z" works fine for those craving an adventure involving the undead, but it won't offer anything beyond that.
