World War Z (2013)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0816711/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Opening credits contain a montage of news reports talking
about how things in the world are going bad.
That is also just called the news.
One of them mentioned a rabies outbreak and that is called
foreshadowing. Brad Pitt, along with his
ginger wife and 2 girls, decide to go out for a nice afternoon drive through
Philly. All of a sudden a cop runs by
and clips his cars mirror. A little
odd. Then another cop runs by and yells
at him to stay in the car. Brad starts
obeying but a dump truck comes down out of nowhere and starts running
everything over. At first I thought
something like “whoa, the zombie thing is starting” but also maybe some guy
found a way to keep drinking into the 4th quarter at the Eagles
game. Next thing you know, the zombies
are out and they are moving fast. Some
of them seem to jump 20 feet at a time, making them some kind of super zombies.
This movie has zombies and gingers
Brad and family escape the mass chaos by finding their way
to a camper and on the still has time to count out how long how long it takes
for some to turn into a zombie. They
leave Philly, choosing to go to somewhere safer like Newark. Cape Cod must’ve seemed too sketchy. On their way they stop a store to do some
looting and Pitt has to save his wife from getting a little raped but all in
all they make it to some high rise apartment building. There is zombie chase up the stairs that
leads the family to the apartment of a Latino family and safety.
The safety only lasts one night and they are off again in
the morning, this time with the boy Tomas from the Latino family. They escape by helicopter to the UN’s command
ship somewhere in Atlantic because Brad used to work for them. The dude in charge tells him that the
president is dead and this outbreak is now worldwide. Some army guy tells Brad that he’s has to go
to South Korea and look for the first person infected with their main scientist
or they’ll kick his family off the ship.
They get to Korea and the scientist looses his cool, accidently
killing himself and making the trip a waste of time. Pitt gets inside the base and learns a little
about the virus from the guards. One guy
from the CIA there tells him that to fight the spread of the disease the North
Koreans took out all of their people’s teeth.
I don’t think they were big corn on the cob people anyway.
Pitt’s next destination is Jerusalem to find out how that
they knew to lock up their borders before the outbreak came. There is a huge wall all around the city that
would seem insurmountable but the zombie’s climb all over each other until they
break into the city. There is a nice
little chase scene and Brad saves one of the bitten Israeli soldiers buy
cutting off her chomped on hand. They
make it to the airport and take off to safety.
They are running to get ice cream not from zombies
Except not really because a zombie made its way onto the
plane and everything goes south fast.
Pitt’s only option of possibly surviving is damaging the plane so he
throws a grenade and the bird crashes.
He wakes up and is impaled by what looks like the armrest. The Israeli chick and Brad head to the local
W.H.O center where he passes out. He
wakes up to the new Doctor Who’s face and after finally getting on speaking
terms Pitt tells them his plan for beating the zombies. He thinks that the zombies won’t go after
diseased humans so everyone will need to infect themselves with like SARS or
something and then treat that. It’s not
so easy to test though because all of the centers diseases are stored on the
zombiefied wing.
SPOILERS
The rest of the movie is just Brad trying to get to the
diseases and then testing it out successfully on himself. It takes a while to get there but in the end
it looks like the day has been saved.
This is probably what Jennifer Aniston thinks Brangelina looks like
SHORT ONE
Favorite Scene: I liked the plane scene the most. Something about being stuck in a small space
with a zombie just seems better than a big city. I really had no idea what he was going to
do. Also the scene of him waking up from
the crash was up there too. It was the
best use of music in the movie as well as the best looking visually.
Memorable Lines: “Most people don’t believe something can
happen until it already has. That’s not
stupidity or weakness, that’s just human nature”
“Expert” Reviews: Lisa Kennedy says “As compelling as Pitt
is at reflecting the world's pain through Lane's eyes, the movie treats him too
often as if he truly is the only one with loved ones to lose or a world to
save.” It did that once in two hours Lisa.
That’s the only one because the other
rotten reviews are actually pretty spot on.
This is a first.
Rating: 6.5 Tootsie Pops. Cherry.
The movie was ok but I’m a zombie Nazi and those weren’t zombies. They were people with rabies or something,
just like the infected from 28 days later (which was a better movie). Brad Pitt did good job acting and fit his
roll really well. I didn’t understand
the need for the Israeli chick and could’ve done without her. Also Brad Pitt seems to be pretty invincible
for instance if they are being chased up the stairs in the apartment building
by the same zombies that climbed over the wall in Israel there would’ve been no
second or third acts. I did like the
global aspect of the movie and seeing whole cities blowing up was cool (in a
not columbine way).
Alternate Ending (Spoilers): If I ever am in a zombie
apocalypse I’ll probably worry about surviving but when I’m just watching a
movie, I want to see the zombies goes down especially in one called World War
Z. Instead of going to the World Health
Organization, Brad goes to the World Bomb Organization (formerly known as
Mythbusters) and they make a zombie bomb which saves the day.
What would I do if I was the main character: Either grow my
hair a little longer or cut it a little shorter. Didn’t care for that length.
What happens in the sequel: I always wanted to read this
book but never got around to it because I don’t really read anymore. I’m guessing they’ll make a second because
they like money. The zombies will probably
get desperate and start eating everything.
There was a quick clip of Piers Morgan in the beginning and if he lived
through the first somehow I hope he is eaten on screen in 2.
