Nothing LIke The Book

Rating: 5/10 (20 June 2013)

The book by Max Brooks was brilliant, and this film is far from that. It is unfortunate that the film will forever overshadow the book, and the message of the book will always be blocked from being told in its entirety. Even if the award winning audio book version of World War Z was simply retold with the passion and intensity of the actors that portray the key characters, it would be far better than this film. Having said that, if you have not read the book, you will find acts I and II of this film to be interesting; but will be sorely disappointed by its misplaced III act. Why they did not follow the book and just convert it to a visual retelling I will never understand- how do you have WWZ without the Battle of Yonkers?
