World War Z
Finally got around to this. Not as bad as I was imaging from the critique on here, but nothing spectacular. Came across as a standard B-movie with a bigger budget. Overall feel had a very similar vibe to the Crazies remake a few years back, which I was a bit fan of because it was intentionally schlocky. I think World War Z suffered from taking itself a little too seriously, not to mention taking serious fucking liberties with the source material (MASSIVE fan of the book)
Some of the set pieces were good, the bit where they are creeping through the lab was well done, but felt the descent into anarchy section at the start could've done with a little bit more pre-amble...the use of news reports to give glimpses of what was happening was just too lazily done, unlike the remake of Dawn Of The Dead which handled the same situation a lot better IMO.
Worth a watch, glad I did take the time with it, but yeah...nothing particularly spectacular.
