Zombie flick of the year!

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2013)

World War Z gets its concept from the novel written by Max Brooks. Although this movie is not an exact adaptation of the book it still impresses in its portrayal of the zombie apocalypse seen through the eyes of UN employee Gerry Lane (enacted by Brad Pitt). Gerry Lane has been tasked with investigating the outbreak of a virus that turns humans into mindless, angry zombies similar to those infected with the Rage virus (28 Days Later) and pushes mankind towards extinction. The zombies in World War Z are far scarier than any you've ever seen on TV before.
The movie starts thrilling right from the very beginning and is fast paced with many startling moments that will keep you on the edge of the seat. I watched it in 3D and I must say that I really enjoyed the effects. There were moments when I reflexively ducked to avoid an undead arm from grabbing my throat! The cast played their characters very well and were complemented with dialogue far more meaningful than your average zombie flick, good screenplay and a very intense soundtrack.
This is by far the most realistic and thrilling zombie flick I have seen since 28 Weeks Later and will be on the must watch movies list of this year. Fans of the apocalypse will love it! A thrilling ride for everyone is guaranteed.
8/10 Enjoy!
