Our generation is very much infatuated with the supernatural, be it vampires, werewolves, and now, zombies.

Of the hundreds of zombie related movies and franchises, what makes World War Z worth your money?

If you are a horror fan, you may or may not enjoy the movie. This is the kind of movie whose objective is to give the audience a good time rather than scare them to death. It's a great movie to see with your family for it will convince you that you enjoyed the whole movie experience when you leave the cinema.

As a PG-13 zombie horror flick, World War Z automatically turns off loads of zombie fans that are in it for the gore. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be any violence. The movie is filled with action that can be thrilling to some unlike other movies where the civilians suddenly become sharp shooters or where there are unnecessary car chases put in to the mix. What the movie lacked in gore, it made up for a great plot, story line, and really great zombies.

The movie centers on Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt), a United Nations investigator who retired to be with his family only to be pulled back in for the sake of the world. Dramatic don't you think?

What's great about the movie is that you can actually FEEL the apocalyptic chaos going on but it’s not just about the zombies. The movie starts off in an everyday traffic and then next thing you know someone's head-banging their way into your car. People stealing left and right, trying to hoard what they can. It’s absolute madness, indeed.

One of the things that makes World War Z different from other zombie franchises such as Resident Evil, The Walking Dead, and Zombieland, is because we finally get to see the authorities' perspective where they aren't the ones screwing the world over. Usually in zombie flicks we only get to see glimpses of what the government is trying to do only to fail miserably. This time we get to be the civilian then the hero. It's a video game waiting to happen.

Rating: 8/10
