World War Z (2013)

Genre: Action/Horror
Directed by: Marc Forster
Starring: Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Peter Capaldi
Running time: 116 minutes



In World War Z, a former UN investigator has to leave his family behind and travel around the world to stop a massive zombie outbreak that threatens to overtake the whole planet.

Visually-speaking, World War Z offers some great filmmaking. I was simply amazed sometimes at the images shown on my screen. There was some great work done in special effects. The biggest issue for me was character development. Not much effort was put into that, and the movie suffered because of it in my humble opinion. We just did not care what happened to these people. Also, the acting was uninspired. Even Brad Pitt, who can sometimes be very good, did not seem really into it.

Overall, World War Z was a really disappointing effort. Other than the visuals, I did not find much good in it. Unless you are a fan of the genre, I would pass.
