World War Z

I'm not a critic. I'm a fan. I see the glass half full. Not half empty.

This is a mainstream zombie movies(non zom-com) from Hollywood since I am Legend.

World War Z adapted from the book of the same name. I haven't read the book so it's pretty explicable that I'm not going in there to see the book in motion. It's pretty delusional to expect it.

The film brings the subject of the movie into the picture pretty quick. Doesn't make you wait with impatience. The pace of the movie is engaging.

The storyline is like one from the Bourne series where you just have to move from location to location and try to stay alive. The only difference is the apocalyptic world and the flesh eating zombies.

Now to the visual effects and the character presentation. The movie, post processed in 3D is a good attempt. You will get to see zombies landing on your face and the view from the chopper are a treat. The presentation and the acting of the zombies are close to scary and that's a very good attempt by those. Each scene where the zombies chase the humans and the epic zombie wall scene was worth it.

Acting. Well, Brad literally takes the movie on his shoulders as he is the one fighting against the zombie army and is mostly alone with a couple of side kicks helping him out now and then.

The movie is directed by Marc Forster, he directed the critically acclaimed Finding Neverland, Monsters Ball and The Kite Runners. Making a zombie movie would have been a different experience for him and it's a brave attempt.

The soundtrack of the movie is awesome. Especially the ones where the piano touched turn in a bit techno and eerie. You can sense that the composer is Hans Zimmer especially in the scenes where the USA is wiped out. But you would be sensing wrong as it's not Hans Zimmer.

The sound effects, the zombie growls and the echoes of their footsteps in empty corridors would make you feel uncomfortable.

PS: The multiplex I watched had a Atmos Sound system. And that was an amazing experience.

A game with more enhancing sound effects should be released and that would be a treat.

One thing I didn't like: The plane scene. I didn't expect people making alive from it. But they do. It's a bit illogical but that you should just move on from it.

Like a boss scene of the movie: Brad Pitt drinking Pepsi in front of the zombies and waiting for them to attack. If they attack.

Catch OST of the movie : 

Mother Nature is a serial killer. No one's better. More creative.
