This also helped stop the movie from becoming a loud, brainless drivel. This made some quite tense scenes with a good amount of scares. The movie changes tone several times and slows down in others. From so-called experts riding squeaky bicycles in the complete darkness to people making careless noises by simply not looking on what they’re stepping on. The plot is quite thin and sometimes cringe-inducing. There were some inquiry into Jerusalem’s past, but this was quickly overshadowed by more zombies. The social commentary is quite vague and underdeveloped. There are some huge plot holes and some “Duh” moments. Those looking for a deep movie will likely dislike WWZ. I would say my favorite part of the film is how they unquestionably adopt an orphan into their family. The characters are a bit one dimensional, but I enjoyed the fact of how Gerry calls his family daily and has a loving relationship with his wife. I would say that several of these were said in anticlimactic scenes and made them feel unnecessary. The cursing is quite heavy, with about 21 uses: 5 GDs, 5 sh_t, 4 b_stard, 3 b_tch, 3 as_, and at least one use of b_tch. Gerry gets impaled with metal the wound is shown protruding from his back. A man accidentally falls on a gun and shoots himself. To save a life, Gerry quickly cuts off a woman’s hand after she is bitten. One shoots himself in the head (off screen), and another detonates a grenade after he is bitten on the neck. Some of the infected people commit suicide before the illness takes over.
Zombies go through windshields and are shot and bombed by the military. Some up-close shots are shown of the bitten people painfully contorting while they contract the mysterious virus. This happens in several scenes throughout the movie. Zombies invade by the thousands, tackling people down and biting their victims” arms and necks. Though mostly bloodless, there is plenty of violence, so this movie should definitely not be seen by younger children. On the other side of the spectrum, I usually prefer to avoid movies with heavy amounts of violence and felt the movie did well in this aspect. I saw the film with a friend who’s a huge fan of zombie movies, and she said that the lack of blood and gore takes away from the authenticity. The harsh jerks of the camera help keep the film at a PG-13 rating, since hardly any blood is shown and several direct impacts of violence occur off screen.
This might bother some, but I’m unsure how else they would have shown thousands of zombies running amok, ruthlessly attacking a city, and piling over themselves to climb up a wall. There is a galore of CGI effects and shaky camera chases. That is about all there is to the plot, any more might reveal spoilers. Gerry Lane ( Brad Pitt) is a former United Nations worker who is summoned back to duty to help the government research a zombie pandemic that is shutting down the world’s countries. Whether or not, you’d like this movie depends on if you’re a fan of zombie movies.
Brad Pitt plays his part rather well, and the film remains rather bloodless. I am usually quite analytical, but WWZ kept me interested. It’s been a long time since an action movie has held me in suspense.
