Did You Know?Trivia

Brad Pitt was most intrigued by the book's geopolitical aspects (what with his partner being aUN Goodwill Ambassador and all), and his production company Plan B, together withParamount, spent $1 million on the film rights. However, it soon became clear that much of thegeopolitics that Pitt was interested in would have to be dropped if they wanted the story tocome together on screen. Furthermore, Pitt's production company, Plan B, had never taken ona project of this size, its experience limited to eclectic, low-budget dramas; their biggest filmbefore this was Eat Pray Love (2010).

Goofs

Just before the infected come over the wall in Jerusalem, Gerry says, "If I could get into India,where would I start?" "India's a black hole." The lines originally named Russia, not India, andyou can still read Russia on his lips. The editing of the scene fails to completely conceal thesecond overdub as well. See more »

User ReviewsWorld War Z is an entertaining, fun night out but not original in the

slightest27 June 2013 | by FilmMuscle (United States) – See all my reviews

Finally, after years of facing difficulty with production and resources, World War Z has comeour way, and it promises an epic and grandeur scale. The film definitely contains most of theelements fans have always desired in a zombie movie; it actually mixes horror, suspense, andaction all in one movie. One act transpires underneath the roofs of a daunting apartmentbuilding when another act takes the audience across the world to Israel where the people leftare forced to defend themselves against a monstrously colossal horde of zombies as they pilein. There are jump-scares. There are grisly and highly unfortunate deaths.

Anyways, the film focuses on Brad Pitt's character (Gerry Lane) who's required to assist the UNwith discovering a possible vaccine/cure to the horrifying virus that's spreading throughout theworld and turning human beings into ghastly creatures. If he refuses to comply, they'll willinglykick his entire family off a tanker- one of the few safe locations left in the world. From thereon, Gerry Lane is forced to transcend country after country in order to secure his family'ssafety and possibly save humanity. A hell of a lot is at stake, that's for sure.

Now, I can definitely state that one of the best aspects of the film is its acting, especially BradPitt's, which, as usual, doesn't disappoint. One can clearly witness the fear and terror presentin almost every character's eyes, as well as one specific character quite convincingly pulling offthe feeling of sheer pain under horrendous circumstances.

With that being said, the very beginning of the film starts off a little bizarrely as the paceseems to suffer. With the running time that the movie possesses, such a rich and complexstory is compacted to fit its duration, which means right off the bat, we're met with theapocalypse and the zombie outbreak. We only receive a few minutes, if that, of the mainfamily's daily lives until they're cast into the conflict almost instantly. As a result, conversationsfeel extremely and oddly brief and segments that could've been expanded on feel like they'reset on "fast forward" in order to get to the "point." This means that there's much less space for

character development and characterization in general, and zombie movies (or we can sayHorror movies as a whole) definitely need to spend some time on their characters so that theaudience is able to connect with them and feel for them as they progress on their journey.When they feel fear, we have to feel fear for them as well. Unfortunately, as this is largely aHollywood blockbuster and not something like 28 Weeks Later, the film has to reach the action-packed bits as soon as possible.

And this is when the film will cause a fair amount of decisiveness- the audience who read thebook will approach the film differently than the ones who've seen the trailers and are justsimply interested in the plot that's promised. I've read up on reviews, and most of thenegative reviews originate from the individuals who expected an honest- shall I say-adaptation of the book (this is exactly the issue that faced The Great Gatsby or any otheradaptation for that matter). I haven't read the book, which means I don't need to furiouslyrant about the film's disconnection from its novelistic counterpart. If you haven't read thebook, you have no reason to worry about potential disappointment; that's practically reservedfor the book's fans. If you're a book fan, on the other hand, you should be expecting the two'sdifferentiation from one another.

So, to put it most understandably, if you're entering this movie the way it was marketed, you'llexperience a wild, roller-coaster ride that's fairly effective in its capability of featuring somedramatic moments of diplomatic negotiations and political discussions over the world's collapseand then placing you into intensely impossible situations only to be followed by an incrediblysuspenseful, nerve-wracking sequence. It's highly entertaining…however, it's the furthest fromoriginality a film can get. I mean, it's yet another zombie movie, dealing with the entire worldunder a deadly zombie virus. You've basically seen everything in this movie already as 28 DaysLater and 28 Weeks Later highlighted the serious effects of such an event already. In thatcase- during its first act- World War Z feels unbelievably similar to the two films mentionedabove. Especially considering the decision to exclude the more political aspect of the novel andturning the adaptation into an action flick instead, there's not much here that'll bask inuniqueness, really.

This all begs the question: how much longer will these numerous entertainment industriescreate zombie stories after zombie stories? It's time to move on to another fascinating idea.Leave the genre alone, but then again, as long as these studios continue to rake in millions,they'll continually produce the same product. In the end, World War Z is a fun, entertainingnight out, but if you can't make it to the showing, don't feel too bad because you've most likelyseen everything displayed in this film already.
