Brad Pitt helps keep the Zombie Apocalypse Genre fresh

Rating: 8/10 (12 September 2013)

I originally had low expectations for this movie (even as a huge fan of the Walking Dead, I'm feeling "zombie-fatigued"). But the idea that zombies are both fast and "swarm" (like ants crawling on top of each other) to climb a huge wall is a unique twist that could make this movie fun to watch (written May 2013).
And it ended up being a blast. It introduced an original story-line to the zombie-apocalypse genre. First, an origin to why the zombie plague started. Second, the potential for a cure? And lastly, Brad Pitt as the best dad/survivalist ever. If I had to pick my team to battle the zombie apocalypse, I'd want Brad on my team, no matter that he is 20 times more handsome than me.

Afternote: If you saw the movie, don't read the book. In this rare case, the book falls short of the movie. The book is told in "documentary-style" based on memos etc. that recall the events "after" World War Z. The movie tells it in real-time which is how it should be experienced.
