'Photomarathon Presentation Day' today so I caught the 8.42 train this morning. After a coffee at Pret I settled down for the 11.45 showing of "World War Z 3D" (it was the earliest showing of ANYTHING!)
Basic premise goes thus: World turns into Zombies - Brad Pitt has to save said World.
Now I've seen my fair share of Zombie flicks over the years. Dawn of the dead (the remake), Shaun Of The Dead, 28 Days later and most recently Warm Bodies. This film had no humour whatsoever (apart from the mention of Cardiff Airport which got an unintentional laugh from the audience!). But the lack of humour wasn't a problem. The film was a 15 certificate and I think it would have benefited from an 18 cert personally. That being said it still spooked me on occasion and there was an overall sense of tension and dread. I even got accustomed to the CGI zombies after a while.
All in all I really enjoyed this movie. ****
