{4.5\/5} “Each and every one of these people are here because they serve a purpose. There’s no room here for non-essential personnel. If you want to help your family, let’s figure out how we stop this.”<\/p>\n
An outbreak of a new disease spreads around the world quickly — the disease basically turns people into zombies. Because Gerry used to work as an investigator for the UN he’s able to get his family to a ship where they’re safe. But he must go with a team to try to find out how this disease started — and what to do about it. Gerry races against time to try to find some useful information while more and more people succumb to the disease.<\/p>\n
World War Z<\/strong>, released in 2013<\/p>\n It’s loosely based on the book by Max Brooks. I saw it in 3D — I felt that the 3D put you right there in the midst of the action.<\/p>\n It’s not gruesome but it is scary. It’s a combination between a zombie movie and a disease-outbreak movie. If you’re looking for a traditional zombie movie, you’ll have to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n Brad Pitt plays a determined and resourceful man whose skills at asking the right questions lead him from South Korea to Israel.<\/p>\n It was exciting, and had some clever parts — for me, that added up to an enjoyable movie.<\/p>\n The final third of the movie was reshot — leading to speculation about what the original ending would have been like.<\/p>\n The music by Marco Beltrami (Hellboy<\/strong>) was OK but not particularly memorable.<\/p>\n Brad Pitt (Twelve Monkeys<\/strong>) plays Gerry. Mireille Enos (the TV show The Killing<\/strong>) plays Gerry’s wife Karin and Daniella Kertesz (the TV show Loving Anna<\/strong>) plays a soldier named Segen.<\/p>\n David Morse (The Green Mile<\/strong>) has a small but interesting part.<\/p>\n The movie was directed by Marc Forster (Stranger Than Fiction<\/strong>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4.5\/5} “Each and every one of these people are here because they serve a purpose.
