Storyline
In Philadelphia, the former UN Investigator Gerry Lane, his wife Karin and their two daughters, Rachel and Constance, are trapped in the traffic jam. Out of the blue, they witness several car crashes caused by the attack of hordes of zombies. Gerry runs with his family and he steals and drives a RV, heading to Newark, New Jersey. Gerry calls his old friend, UN Secretary General Thierry Umutoni, who promises to send a helicopter on the next morning to rescue Gerry and his family. Gerry stops at a supermarket to get supplies and medicine for his asthmatic daughter and the RV is stolen. They flee to an apartment building and a Latin family helps them, lodging the family in their apartment. On the next morning, Gerry invites the family to go with them to the roof, but they prefer to stay in their apartment. However they are attacked by zombies and the boy Tommy joins Gerry and his family in their runaway. The helicopter brings them to an aircraft carrier anchored offshore New York City and Gerry is assigned to travel to South Korea with the virologist Dr. Andrew Fassbach to seek out the patient zero to develop a vaccine. When the team arrives at the base, they are attacked by zombies and Fassbach panics and has a fatal accident. Gerry has a conversation with an insane ex-CIA agent that is imprisoned and he goes to Jerusalem to talk to the Director of Mossad Jurgen Warmbrunn to learn why he built a wall and transformed the city in a safe zone. When Jerusalem is attacked by a horde of zombies, Gerry observes that the zombies do not attack terminally ill persons. Now he travels with his escort Segen to a research facility in Wales to disclose his findings to the scientists.Movie Reviews
World War Z is a zombie
outbreak movie that supposedly bases itself on the amazing book of the
same name by Max Brooks. What this movie truly is, is a shamefully
mediocre attempt to create a movie that appeals to the widest audience
possible. Pee established fan base from the book? Check. Star power
(this is Brad Pitt)? Check. Focuses on intensity rather than horror and
gore to not alienate non zombie fans? Check. Safe, young PG 13 rating?
Check. All the makings are here because this is what the big Hollywood
studio wanted. Despite the fact this movie doesn't resemble the book at
all, it appears that those attached to make this movie tried to make a
decent movie such as the visually interesting director Marc Foster who
wanted to make a movie with a message which would emulate the tone the
book was going for. However, the big studio disliked this and demanded
rewrites and re-shooting that damaged the relationship between the
director and Brad and results in a quick, intense action movie that
lacks the character development and messages it needed to be a truly
memorable movie because almost every one of those scenes were cut so
much to the point that central characters get barley any lines. While
the action scenes are intense and enjoyable on their own and Marc foster
adds style to the lack of substance but its just not enough to save
this movie. While it is better than it had any right to be thanks to
Marc, it needs more and it lacks in crucial substance. However from the
reviews and box office reports it appears Hollwood has succeeded in
creating a successful marketable movie that everyone will eat up and it
will be too late when we all get the nasty aftertaste.....
