World War Z
/26th of 365.
This movie doesn't live up to the book. It isn't the book. There are a few similarities, but not very many. This partial story is rumored to be the first of a trilogy and that's about how much information you are given in this story.
Don't get me wrong, it is still an enjoyable movie, it has a beginning, middle, and end. However, the end is the beginning is the end.1 The best part about this movie is that Brad Pitt is always one step ahead. He makes the smartest decision at every turn and you are always surprised at what decisions he makes.
The conceit of the movie, besides that there is a disease that creates Zombies, is that Brad Pitt is the guy that needs to go investigate the origin of the virus because a single UN guy believes in his investigative skills. The US means that Brad Pitt and his family are important enough to be saved with a helicopter, then sent with an elite team to the most dangerous parts of the Earth.
Judgement: Send Away for It.
