World War Z 4K 2013

The anticipation for this movie was huge, among the myriad blockbusters of 2013, I definitely have this movie in my top five. It has the ability to pull you in with one shot in the trailer when you see a bunch of people trying to climb a wall.

I really liked the advertising campaign for this movie, which in the trailers didn't talk about zombies or specifics at all, making it feel like you're going to be watching a family drama with a certain... planetary troublemaker. When I found out that the movie was going to be about zombies, though, and I saw this footage I realized that the movie might be the new word in zombie horror for me.

That's pretty much what it turned out to be.

The movie takes a huge note of suspense from the first few seconds and is incredibly surprising. In fact, to see a rushing pack of people failing at turns so monstrous, so terrifying, so overwhelming to you, it's impressive, it's amazing. The picture changes one by one and each successive scene brings more and more horror to this reality. These are truly the most horrific zombies I've ever seen. Not the best zombie movie, but the most horrible dead people in cinematography. For the first half of the movie, the viewer just can't get a breath out of what's going on, it's so creepy and shocking.

Unfortunately, after the bar is raised, the second half of the movie runs in closed corridors with the whole set of staples. The plot is almost as anchored on stamps, clichés and predictable moves, with a few exceptions.

The characters of the family are not revealed at all, you just don't notice them, and it seems that the trailer showed all the segments with the family.

All technical aspects are top notch, especially the sound, which started doing its job right from the credits.

Overall, this is a very peppy zombie action movie that actually makes the old, well-studied zombies scary again for the viewer.
