Rip off

Rating: 2/10 (22 June 2013)

Poor quality rip-off of "28 Weeks Later". Not to mention Brad's stupid hairstyle, and typical underplayed acting "style", which makes the character utterly unbelievable. Seems way too many people are impressed by an actor who no longer seems to take acting seriously (and his own ego far too seriously), overdone CGI effects (as if they've never seen THAT before), cliché Armageddon scenarios, and blatant plot plagiarisms. This was an opportunity completely blown to make this into a political/social metaphor commentary, as District 9 has done for alien films, but "Hollywood" (and Pitt) chose to make it nothing more than an effects-driven, mainstream, unintelligent, shallow, "nothing better to watch", forgettable, summer budget-buster (like "The Avengers"). Such a waste of time and money. Ironic how Pitt is making worse movies, while Jolie is making better ones. Save your time and money and watch the real deal - "28 Days Later", followed by "28 Weeks Later". Do that, and you'll understand how bad this WWZ really is in comparison.
