Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) is a government employee that is racing againest time to stop a Zombie pandemic which is a serious threat to the survival of the human race.
World War Z is based on a novel by Max Brooks, I haven't read the novel myself so I am uncertain of how well the movie follows the book. This is definitely a big budget summer flick from Paramount Pictures which is estimated to of cost around $200 million to make.
There have been many reports of problems during the production of World War Z, like problems with over running costs and production problems. There are reports that a whole new ending to the movie had to be written as the current ending just didn't make any sense, this lead to whole new scenes having to be created so the whole thing would tie in together.
Visually World War Z is suburb, the acting is solid, Brad Pitt does a nice job of portraying a father struggling to keep his family alive. There are some gaping big plot holes in this movie which can ruin the enjoyment if you focus on them too much.
While I did enjoy watching World War Z, I didn't find it partially scary or atmospheric which was a bit of a disappointment if the truth be told. World War Z is certainly worth a watch, however it does have it flaws and it's unlikely to blow you away in terms of a cinematic experience, apart from maybe visually.
