So maybe I'm a little late for this, again, since I don't live in America most films are released later here.
World War Z was very loosely based on the book with the same name (which I've never read), also reportedly has had major problems, where they had to rewrite the entire third part of the movie, and make a new ending.
This movie was supposed to be a trilogy and word has it that a sequel is already on the works to hit theaters later 2014.
Now, for my humble opinion... I think the worst part about this movie is that we don't know who the main character is AND we don't know how the hell did zombies started to pop out and spread out so quickly (something about Raibis... Maybe?).
Gerry (Brad Pitt) starts the movie as a normal, very down to earth dad, and mentions his "old job", later in the film we find out he used to work for UN, and that's about it; Now out of every single person in the planet HE was the one choose to find out the origins of the Zombie Apocalipse... WHY????
Also, during the entire film he was this cool, tough guy that seems to have only a small clue on what's he was doing (but, no one knew that zombies were even a possibility, so I'll give him that). Because of his old job (I guess...) Gerry was really observant and with very few evidences found out how to camouflage the humans from the zombies.
The movie was entertaining, it really was, I will most def watch the sequel, and hey, it's Brad Pitt! It was a smart storyline, and a new take on zombies. Some scenes will blow your minds, it had great moments of excitement, but the ending felt rushed.
Bottom of line is, me and my friends left the movies with a very uneasy feeling that we should be prepared to fight Zombies.
