The
very existence of human race is in danger…again. This time, it is not about aliens
or some creepy creatures but man-eater zombies who are spreading all over like
some terminal biological syndrome, ready to bring down the world in the most gruesome
manner, identical to the plague of locust’s attack!
Based
on a novel by Max Brooks, Mark Forster’s WORLD WAR Z scares the hell out of
you, especially with its horrific visuals. You may not get frightened and
panicky as regular horror flicks do in a prescriptive routine sequencing of the
events but the spine-chilling imagery it creates of world being wiped out of
mankind itself keeps you on the edge of your seat for most of the time.
In
an apocalyptic circumstance, ex-UN investigator [played by the producer Brad
Pitt] is back on mission to find the root-cause of worldwide zombie-attacks and
the search for clues and crumbs to reach on substantial buoyancy in fighting it
back. The race to save is against the time. And the film does really good in
keeping you on your toes through constant interesting twists in the plot and a taut
screenplay. First 20 minutes in the film and you know where this ‘thrill that
chills’ sci-fi horror film is headed to.
The best part about it is that it doesn't restrict itself to be a typical horror film but tries its level best to overwhelm you with the intelligence of a thriller. The effort shows but sadly doesn't always pay off and it becomes only an acknowledgement for first rate cinematography specifically while using aerial shots and a good direction in bringing out some of the nastiest zombie attacks on screen ever. A good one-time watch for people who can admire even a ‘world coming to an end’ movie without much of loud action & heavy VFX construction! [3/5]
