World War Z - Review
20.00.00
Because of the release of the DVD and Blu-Ray version of World War Z in Denmark, Paramount Pictures sent us the Blu-Ray edition, so we could review it. Over a busy Christmas, we finally had time to finish the review. Find press-information in the bottom of the post.
Introduction

Only Brad Pitt, who, already 13 years ago, had to
catch a serial killer in the movie ‘Se7en’, is able to follow this trail and
reveal even the biggest killers.
The plot
In the role as former UN-Agent, Gerry Lane, does Brad
Pitt have to find the solution to the virus riddle, which Mother Nature
started, to remove those tracks that she already left. The virus transforms infected
people to a kind of zombies, who attack every single victim they see. Society
breaks down in no time, and the most of the world population is transformed
into brain-dead zombies.
But not only does he have to find out how to cure the
virus, before it is too late for the fast decreasing population. He also haves
to save his wife and two daughters, one of them have asthma.
Final comment
Even though there are a lot of great things about this
movie released in the summer 2013, there is things that seems a bit too much in
the favor of Gerry Lane, the politicians haves an unnatural reaction on the
virus, as the epidemic have been known for a while in other parts of the world.
Gravity not always working as it would have been in the real world and stuff
like this. It doesn’t “destroy” the movie, and can with a bit of good will and
some fantasy, be convincing enough to make the experience for those watching,
as good as Paramount Pictures of course hope to serve.
I have seen a lot of movies, and World War Z, is not
in my top 10. Because of two things:
- We already have tons of movies in this genre, and I would like to see something new. I just feel like there is missing something, that really makes this movie unique and worth to watch, because we have never seen something like that.
- I’m not a big fan of zombies, dark scenes, and scary plots.
But if you are into zombie movies, and wants 116
minutes of action, tension, love, and scary scenes. Then World War Z would be a
good movie to watch!
