Flat Zombie Flick

Rating: 4/10 (26 October 2013)

This should have been a good movie. The casting is great with Brad Pitt and Mirielle Enos with solid interesting choices for bit parts and extras. I liked that it was multi-cultural cast and not all white. There is a plot with a beginning middle and end but the direction lacked intensity and pacing. The beginning is a boring montage to setup the apocalyptic world run amock with Zombies. They wasted an opportunity to create some chills and surprises. This is no 28 days later. I can't understand how so many set pieces could be filmed in the most boring ho hum way possible. It's clear that the script provided a solid blueprint but the director went for poor shot selection. Furthermore, you have Brad Pitt in a movie and I saw more of his stupid haircut and chin then his eyes. Last, after seeing the film last night, I woke up and couldn't even remember the ending. I had to ask my friend how the movie ended. I was reminded that it ended with another boring montage. If you want to watch a good Zombi flick put in 28 days later.
