Hey, That's Super

Rating: 2/10 (14 February 2014)

Super-cool, super-smart, super-lucky, super-dad Brad Pitt goes on world tour to save us from super-fast zombies. The End.
Much of the interesting action occurs in the middle of the flick. The ending is slow and tame, especially as compared to the middle. There is an attempt to build tension, but hey, it's Brad Pitt looking super cool and the end plays out more or less as planned.
So the movie is often ridiculous and predictable. Supposedly there's a plot, but don't look too hard. It's more of a "backstage with the star on tour" piece.
Or you could think of it as a "formula" flick: A marquee name, spend big bucks on cool CGI effects, string them together with any story you can find, use lots of quick scene cuts so nothing has time to register, teen-friendly rating, and BAM! A summer blockbuster hot from the oven.
