About as Good as a Zombie Film Gets

Rating: 7/10 (12 July 2013)

This movie revealed close to nothing in the trailers and, having read the book, I was anxious to view it. It took about 90 seconds for this movie to start its engine. Then, it flew off like a bull on crack. As you watch in the beginning, while Brad Pitt's successful acting leads his fictional family to safety as ordinary survivors, you are hooked by the time he assumes his past position with the UN. As he travels here and there you are poked with action, suspense, thrills, a slight amount of horror, sadness, and epic adventure. Oddly enough, this movie was slightly realistic, at least, as realistic as it gets that is.
This movie is worth the ticket and the disc.
