It's kind of humbling when you realize that you are the last line of defense against a formidable disease spreading quickly across the planet, effectively turning anyone infected into the undead. Former U.N. special agent Gerry Lane has plenty of experience in dealing with natural disasters, but nothing could have prepared him for a zombie apocalypse of sorts. In order to figure out the disease's origins, he reluctantly leaves his wife and daughters in the care of some old friends from the U.S. government, and begins a trek across the globe and dive headfirst into the unknown in search of the disease's origins hoping to ultimately find a cure.
I don't know how my friends got me to see World War Z, I tend to stay away from any type of zombie apocalypse/horror film. For as long as I can remember I'm the kind of guy that gets freaked out pretty easily. That being said, (and I'm completely surprised I'm saying this) I really enjoyed World War Z. It ended up being more an action/adventure movie rather than horror. The story reminded me of 2007's I am Legend. WWZ was an action-packed, exciting adventure that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. My only complaint was the ending seemed a little far-fetched to me. I have never read the book, so I can't compare on how close the movie follows the source material, but the movie itself is fantastic. For those of you who like zombie movies, you will most likely enjoy this one.
