Good for what it was

Rating: 4/10 (27 June 2013)

The movie is way to overrated. I believe the movie itself apart from the ending was fantastic. Towards the end it got a little unrealistic in terms that suggest realism. For instance, the plane crash - This scene was such a let down as it bought suspense and tenseness but it was obvious that both the two characters Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) and Segen (Daniella Kertesz)survived such a unfortunate event. One thing I did like was the locations used. Not many zombie-horror films are set in multiple locations, however, with this movie I really enjoyed the fact that they used a small town in Wales and Jerusalem because it showed creativity.
Just a little bit of my own analysis here; what I found controversial is that Jerusalem is believed to be the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the theme of zombies obviously is being resurrected from the dead - the living dead. Perhaps, Director, Breck Eisner is trying to make a point here. Who knows.
Overall, this film was to typical. It showed good aspects to a zombie horror film but I wouldn't recommend if you're the type of person who likes a good dialogue and story line.
