Not Bad

Rating: 7/10 (22 June 2013)

Went and watched this movie in theaters yesterday on 6/21/2013. I Was pretty excited about this film from what had been elucidated to me in the trailers. I have to say that if you're going to see this movie, be prepared for a of The Walking Dead and I Am Legend.
One of the things that was nice about this movie is that there wasn't ever a moment of sluggishness in this film. There was always intriguing and exciting action that kept me the edge of my seat. There wasn't any boring filler, all fairly realistic (as realistic as a zombie movie gets) action. While the special effects of this movie were great, there is one thing that I didn't like. What wasn't desirable about this movie is just how fast and ravenous these zombies were. I mean ravenous is expected, but these zombies made it so that the humans couldn't do anything to stop them. My and I would hope others perception of the zombie apocalypse would be that at least humans could fight back against the zombies, but no, the zombies straight wrecked everyone. Which brings me to another facet in the plot that I adored. The resolution of this movie was great. Instead of a mainstream kamikaze finish where a "brave" group of zombie fighters goes out to finish off as many zombies as possible, the movie finished with a creative intelligent resolution, and leaves the humans in the running for a hopeful survival.
I left out the resolution because I want you to go see this movie! World War Z is a great zombie thriller wrapped in good special effects, and great acting. If you haven't seen it yet, now's the time.
