Who ever thought that zombies could run and jump? Obviously Marc Forster did.
Rarely does anything this original come from one of the most popular fiction themes of the 21st century. Zombies are so popular from the thrilling, scary, and insanely gory walking dead to the hilarious and romantic Warm Bodies, but no one had ever considered that zombies could run, jump, and climb on top of each other like ants. The book of World War Z was like the other normal zombie stories, so the movie of course wasn't very much like the book that shares it's title. I think that this movie is an instant classic. The story was based on a man trying to find a weakness in the virus that was turning billions of people into cannibalistic monsters. I loved the visuals of the zombies climbing all over each other, and jumping onto the low-flying helicopter. While sitting in the theater, the entire time, I felt the suspense creeping up on me every second, and all the action made it hard to stay still. Unlike most zombie stories, there was no gore, or blood gushing everywhere. The overall feeling of the movie was suspense and excitement throughout. Sometimes it was too much, so it gets a B+.
Hey! I posted a comment on this but it isn't showing up. I was wondering how you can have "too much" suspense and excitement in a movie.
ReplyDeleteAlso, what did you think of the acting? Didn't you think Brad Pitt could have taken at least one shower? I don't mean onscreen, of course, but just so his hair would be less greasy?
