Mother Nature is a seriel killer, she's a bitch
Really loved this movie it was clever a fresh for a zombie flick. It has the same level of intensity as 28 days/weeks later and reminded me of them in a few parts, particularly the start. Some parts slowed down a bit to catch up on plans and to catch your breath but when the action comes in just brace yourself, you don't have time to think. I remember sitting on my bed watching the zombies coming over the wall. I had my arms up beside my head and every single muscle in my body was like a rock. It really has you on edge because you cant help but imagine what you would do in that situation. The words "omg run ...get in get in, hurry up" were said multiple times during this movie. Some parts are so frantic and crazy you really don't know how they will get out of it. The part in Israel really impressed me, its amazing how much mayhem happens in a matter of seconds. The digital work don't in these scenes are something to behold, you actually think they are real bodies running around but they are actually all drawn.There are some very frustrating parts in it where ALL they had to do was to be quiet but there is always someone who wasn't watching where his weapon was or where he was standing on. I was screaming at the TV but I guess the audience should be grateful that they do screw up and get chased all over the place. Otherwise nothing would happen. But in reality you would do anything to make damn sure that you don't make a sound, since it will result in you getting torn to shreds.The zombies are quite frightening, not just because they are fast but just because of the way they behave. They kind of reminded me of how army ants cling to each other to create hills or bridges. Other times they seem to just fling each other into walls and cars or off buildings at high speed. They almost move as a single moving unit which has an amazing effect on screen and my jaw was just on the floor for some shots. When they descend on an area there are merely seconds to decide what to do. This reminds me very much of the zombies in 28 days later with much less mess (no projectile vomiting of blood) but just as twitchy. these zombies don't want to bash your face in they just want to infect you. Then they run off and grab another.Their eyes actually look dead (greyed out) and not bloodshot and their skin is dry and shrived (this makes sense if you don't have a pulse). This is not rage like in 28 days later, it is a full blown virus and there are some very good theory's on how these viruses behave in the bonus features. The zombies kind of represent a manifestation of that, once they infect the victim automatically looks for another host to infect. They are just so freaky and it take roughly 11 seconds for a victim to change once bitten.I would highly recommend this movie for a thrill and an intense ride. There is minimal blood and you don't really see anyone getting bitten up close. This movie works more on your nervous system, its very VERY tense in a lot of the scenes. Some are very claustrophobic, others show sheer scale with amazing ariel views of cities ect.full stars from me.

Always time for light refreshment...
The world is plagued by a mysterious infection, turning the majority of the human race into rampaging mindless zombies.After him and his family barely escape the chaos, Gerry Lane is persuaded to go on a mission to investigate this disease.What follows is a perilous trek around the world where Lane must brave horrific dangers and odds to find answers before human civilisation ceases to exist.......In a summer that has been really underwhelming since the end of May, this has to be one of the surprise of the summer, even the year, because along with After Earth, this movie was the one I had little faith in.I needn't have worried, because not only is Pitt really good in this, its entertaining from beginning to end. The cast are great, even blink and miss them roles like Fox and Capaldi, so Pitt has even more strain on his shoulders carrying this.Forster has done a great job making the movie, and having not read the source material, its still a great story and slickly directed, despite him tripping up with Quantum Of Solace.There are three really good standout scenes, the opening rampage, the plane sequence which is by far the most tense scene of the film, and the final act, which despite being set in Wales, is is terrifying.There are a few parts that drag, the Jerusalem piece is a little out of synch, and the film has the worst product placement ever depicted to film, which takes you away from the film because its literally laugh out loud funny.But as I've said, in summer of depressing movies that could have been great, but were not, this is a refreshingly good blockbuster, and not a superhero or robot in sight.Plus, its the best film ever to have Brad Pitt stop for a refreshing can of fizzy soda whilst avoiding Zombies because he's a little bit ill.

4K Smashing.
Excellent transfer from Bluray to 4K Ultra.Picture Spot On.DTS Soundtrack Spot On.I replaced my standard Bluray as the Bluray forgot where I was up to in the film when stopping for a Break E.T.C.The 4K picks up right where you left off.I'm sure my Parents will be happy with their new World War Z Bluray.

Great Survivor Flick
The teaser trailer for this movie aired like 12 months before the movie dropped and I almost turned into a zombie waiting for it, but it arrived and it was terrifying. In 28 days later and the Walking Dead you are always gutted that the main protagonist is asleep whilst the world falls apart, in 28 days later the notion is used to great affect, in the Walking Dead the journey echoes 28 days until it gets stuck in. WWZ is all about those crucial first hours and days where contagion is attempted and repeatedly failed, patient zero is searched for at global length. I like the fact that they choose a sensible route, not entertaining the usual don't go down there on your own stuff that we all say just isn't realistic. Generally good movie, however the survivor genre need to more widely adopt the 28 days later theory that the animals will starve to death, or that the bodies will become unserviceable as muscle and tissue degenerates.

No extended cut.
With discs of this price it's not unusual to have the theatrical release and the extended cut (especially when the extended cut is only 7 minutes longer) included in the same package.This release has only the theatrical release and an accompanying Blu Ray for the extended cut.Given the overall price the package is not bad, the extras are nice if not exceptional...but no way is it worth the full price when the extended cut is Blu Ray only.Worth a purchase but only when the price drops.The film itself is a step up from the Blu Ray but it is not a whole world of difference...hence why it's worth waiting for a sale.Well worth having but not at this price.
