Gore-Down

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2013)

There isn't much you can do when a Movie is made as a PG-13 when it is a Genre crying out for an R. But here it is. Take it or leave it. If You take it, there is a lot of Sprawl and Globe Hopping, neither seen before in Zombie Movie Land. Gone is the Flesh Tearing and Muscle Munching, in its place there are Zillions of Zombies speeding and jumping around like Track Stars and numerous Aerial Shots that make them look more like Insects than the Living Dead.
That's what you get and a lot of it. But there are problems Infecting this, that are quite Troublesome. Like building a Wall around Israel. You could read that as an Isolationist Political Statement separating the Israelis from the rest of the Middle East.
Then there's the Biological Weapons thing. When Brad Pitt determines that some sort of Germ Inoculation is needed at the WHO, the Scientist there respond like a Clerk at Baskins Robbins, 31 Flavors to go, We got your Sars, Ebola, Smallpox, and many more, take your pick. It is handled like these Caretakers and Makers of Biological Weapons are the Worlds Friend and Saviour. That is up for Debate.
The Movie is Entertaining somewhat and the PG-13 Kids will most likely Eat it up. The Humongous Budget and Superstar Brad set this apart from others of its Ilk and that alone makes it a sorta Silly diversion from the usual Crunch and Munch Movies. Zombie Film Fans will most likely be Furious at the Gore-Down but others may find it Action Packed enough and give it a Pass.
