Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2013)

World War Z is an apocalyptic was based on the novel of the same title by Max Brooks. It stars Brad Pitt as Gerry Lane,a former United Nations investigator that must travel the world to find a way to stop a zombie- like pandemic. Marc Forster directs.
Happily living in Philadelphia and taking on the role of house husband with his wife and two daughters, Lane's domestic tranquility is shattered in the center of a traffic jam that turns into a run-for-your- life showdown with some zippy zombies whose bite turns you into a killing machine in a few seconds.
Lane and his family are rescued by the UN forces dispatched to bring them to a mobile military base on an aircraft carrier. Gerry doesn't want to leave his family but it is made clear that if he doesn't join the global search for a cure, his family will be kicked off the ship. The search takes Gerry and a brilliant scientist to South Korea in search of patient zero. Using his knack for observation, Gerry is forming a plan to fight back and hopes to continue the search in Wales at a World Health Organization lab. However, the plane has a zombie stowaway.
The movie's ultimate strength is its ability to consistently create tension-filled situations for its characters after laying out very specific parameters.Although it has an investigative aspect to it,World War Z gets most of its mileage out of danger that is experienced by the characters. Despite the fact that it has a couple of loose ends from a story standpoint, the film's visual spectacle makes up for its implausibility.Overall,World War Z a very tense and action-filled film that wrings maximum tension out of its life-or-death situations using the future of humanity at stake as a plot.
