Just got back from watching the premiere of World War Z @ CGV Wangshimni. Ok, first thing first...I still remembered the first time I watched the trailer back then and it was like.."Whoa" It's huge...and I thought I knew what it was all about: well, simply put: an outbreak of zombie apocalypse. But, was it all about that?
It was almost full-house that I got to squeeze myself in between couples. Luckily I managed to get a rather well-situated seat to enjoy the movie.
I had to admit that it was way much better than what I had expected. Brat Pitt delivered what he promised to be one of the sweating summer blockbuster. I was holding my breath in some of the scenes. The fact that this movie is sort-of divided into 4 or more acts is something fresh: Philadelphia--> Off the Atlantic --> South Korea --> Jerusalem --> Plane Ride --> Scotland(?)--> ...???
It was grandeur in scale and grandeur in its premise of scaring me ...enough to make me squirm in my seat.
The fast-paced zombies were so fast in seconds-in-the-making that in a blink of an eye I just could not believe what I saw.
Zombie apocalypse on the global scale raptures the whole world that the only thing we could do is succumb to it...
I love the last 30 minute in the lab which I think is one of the best sequences in the movie.
Or the cinematic achievement of creating a giant wall all over Jerusalem is also one of the vividly haunting scenes in the movie.
So, I give it a **** out of 5.
Simply loved the idea of the movie.
Well executed.
Well Done, Brat Pitt.
