World War Z 2013

World War Z     Gerry Lane is a former United Nations investigator.  It was very dangerous work but he's retired and now his specialty is making breakfast pancakes for his wife and two daughters.  They become stuck in a typical Philadelphia traffic jam but his wife notices a lot of helicopters overhead.  There is a sudden explosion and chaos begins.  They learn of a highly contagious virus that transforms infected people into zombies.  Gerry agrees to go back to work with the UN in order to investigate the cause of the plague and a possible cure.  He is doing this because his family will be safe aboard a UN fleet in the Atlantic Ocean as long as he is on this assignment.
     Most of this film has been done multiple times before.  There is action every minute that keeps you from examining plot and visual holes.  A lot of scenes are at night so you can’t see the details.  Brad Pitt is the only man in the world who can save us!!!  Some scenes are unbelievably funny because of the epic scope!!!  3 * (This movie is OK)

116 min, Horror directed by Marc Forster with Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Daniella Kertez, James Badge Dale, Judi Boeken, Matthew Fox, Fana Mokoena, David Morse.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 ½*, imdb 7.1 out of 10, 67% critic 74% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
