WORLD WAR Z AND MORE!

IT.  IS.  INCREDIBLE!!!

With that kind of intro, you just know spoilers are afoot.  If you don't dig that kind of thing, avert yer eyes!

Nothing would have ever prepared us for World War Z.  Nothing.  It was literally a heart-pounding ride all throughout with only the shortest stops for a bite of popcorn.  And before you go saying "Not another zombie movie!", oooh... World War Z promises to be that and more.  MORE being the operative word here.

MORE ZOMBIES.

Think 'army of ants attacking a downed roach'.  That's how much more!  And these are not your typical Walkers.  This breed of undead are runners... no wait, athletes!  They sprint like Olympic Gold Medalists, throwing their bodies over walls, catching wind for a fraction of a second, and then resuming a mad dash for your jugular without breaking a sweat.  Oh, and once they bite you, you're zombified in 12 seconds.  Hence, more zombies in record-breaking time.

MORE EMOTIONS.

Brad Pitt takes the helm in this survival fest.  Starting off as the father of a happy family.  Quickly catapulting into a panic-stricken dad running around with his brood in a zombie-filled city.  Then, relief as his family was saved.  Only to get angered by the government keeping his family hostage unless he saves the world.  Followed by utter desperation to get the job done... all for his family.  And you thought you knew what an emotional rollercoaster was.

MORE HEROIC... uh... INTUITION.

Ok, I know this movie is fast-paced.  But I just think Brad might've been way too swifty in figuring out a way to protect the survivors from the zombie menace.  There were a couple of signs.  But were those really enough?  Oh well.  It's a slight kink which, with all this slam-bang happening, I can simply overlook.

And... MORE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE THEORIES!  Love these!

Is this a mere 'rabies' epidemic gone out of hand?
Is this a massacre brought on by the serial killer known as Mother Nature?
Is this a plague sent by God to reset the mankind button once again?  I got all giddy when He tried to spare Jerusalem all over again, too.
Or, is this an invasion conspiracy wherein only the healthy turn into zombies while the ill and weak continue to survive while they can?  Seriously, these zombies won't even eat you.  They just bite you so you, too, will turn.  Evil.  I say that's pretty scheme-ish.  It makes the zombie apocalypse almost like a weapon of war.  Hmm...

But I overanalyze.

If you plan to watch World War Z soon --and I highly recommend it-- prepare to lose your breath.
If you plan to survive the zombie apocalypse in the future --and I highly recommend this, too-- lose the stilettos and run.
