World War Zzzzzzz

Rating: 4/10 (18 July 2013)

When i first seen the trailer i was geared up and waiting for it's release. When it finally came out and i rushed to see i was left underwhelmed. Maybe because i built it up so much in my head, or maybe because it just isn't that good. I gave it a 5 because it is an enjoyable film but it was often unintentionally funny and it felt rushed a lot of the time. Now before i upset a few people, i do like Brad Pitt. But this is one of the worst performances by a lead man i have seen in a while. He is almost like a robot at times. I in no way felt attached to his character, i felt no urge for him to succeed because he just didn't seem human. Even the infected had more emotion and they are just killing machines. Lastly, although the action and chase sequences are very good, it's what is in between that has summoned the additional Z's on my summary. There is no energy and as i said most of it comes across as funny rather than serious; look out for the angry infected who can't get her seat belt off.
