THE REVIEW:
This movie centres Gerry Lane and his family as they face a zombie pandemic.
.
Unfortunately, Mr Lane has to leave his family somewhere safe as he is being sent on a mission to find the source of the infection that's killing off millions daily and also to find the cure. He is running on limited time as the world is on the verge of extinction. This was originally a novel by Max Brooks written in 2006 made into a movie that chose to focus on one family. It's meant to be a zombie film but its more of a world disaster.

As a whole the movie is only half way there because it's far from a complete zombie flick. The director lacks vision, the script is poor and he doesn't get enough emotional connection between the characters. I enjoyed about 40% of the film only due to some of the action sequences. The best thing about this movie is the editing. It's sharp, fast moving thrills, builds tension and is sometimes imaginative. Some jumpy parts I wasn't ready for. Too bad the idea of the film seemed too big for the Director to handle.
.
I saw too much improvisation on screen, which only makes me to wonder what they had originally. There are comedy moments I don't think were meant to be gags. This is also the first time I've seen a zombie film without much blood. These infected humans run around way too fast all the time and pile up too many times as if trying to reach up to the heavens. The computer effects on the zombies looked brilliant and well detailed with their movements. It's a difference from the traditional zombie films but that's not a good thing in this case.
.
Brad Pitt is the leading man but his acting is average and that's because he doesn't do much of it, spends his screen time running around and on planes, not many memorable lines, if any. He is meant to be the hero but I didn't get enough background info on him and his family to believe his story or anything of what he's done in the past. The rest of the cast also put in a mediocre performance. I wouldn't have guessed the world was on the verge of ending if this was a random movie I found on TV.
