"World War Z: Zombietastic"

The Plot:

We step into the shoes of UN Agent Gerry Lane who is tasked in aiding a doctor to find a cure for the growing zombie pandemic. We join him in an international zombie gorefest as he raises to find an answer for the sake of mankind.

Spoiler Alert...Just a little...You have been warned...

The Good:

- Mankind vs. Zombies , after being over loaded by the Humans Vs. Humans theme of The Walking Dead it was actually nice to see Massive Hordes of Fast striking zombies chomping down on humans.

- There was a trip to South Korea...and there were no K-pop stars that greeted them...I hope the cute ladies got away...the guys who look like ladies, I hope the zombies got them...

- The Panic in the streets sequence...

- The Eerie Apartment sequence...Great lighting...

- The whole South Korea sequence...

- The whole Israel Sequence...

"Leaping Zombies Batman!!!, Robin said before Batman slapped him in the face"
- The plane sequence...A Hole in the side of my plane...just how I want to spend my vacation...take note of Gerry Lane's hair here...

- All through out this movie is really great Lighting...I liked the motion activated lights of the B-Wing...

- Zombie Dormant and Active modes...

- Zombie Immunity as discovered by Gerry Lane...Awesome...Zombies pass through you...Human Ghost mode...

-All the running...looks good but it made me tired ...


The Bad:

- That rotating Zombie in the lab that Lane and company had to pass through...made it seem like a video game somehow...

- Israels defensive walls that enclosed the city but oddly had no perimeter guns on top of them...

"See what I mean?"


- When Gerry Lane injected himself from a cocktail of deadly infectious diseases...he didn't even break into a fever!!!

- Now that I think about it who funds the WHO vaccine program? They were giving it out for free...free air drop service too...that stuff is expensive...

- Gerry Lane cut off an Israeli female soldiers hand...without seeing any cautery equipment...and torniquets just won't hold that kind of bleed...she must have one hell of a clotting factor...she wasn't bleeding all over the place!

The Ugly:

-The Doctor who seemed very interesting when he pointed out his theories accidentally shoots himself and dies early in the story...what?
That was a real face palm moment there...

Conclusion:

I know that they already have a contract for the trilogy of this movie and I am really looking forward to the sequels...The humans just found out an advantage in the war against the Z's but that does not mean that things will be easy...

  1. Very, very different from the actual book, Doc. And to think this was a book deal done since 2006? Come on. Just wondering if Leonardo Di Caprio's production company won the bidding to get this deal, would they be doing the narrative story telling as it was supposed to be told by the survivors. Hey, just my two cents worth.

    1. I have to agree with you in that regard...they did make it into an action film...
