World War Z | Ratings & Reviews

"Amongst all the chatter that the zombie concept is played out, consider that the closest these horror staples have come to a blockbuster depiction is the Resident Evil series – something that leaves ample scope for improvement. As the title suggests, World War Z follows the cascading plague of undead around the globe via a series of clashes, stalemates and counter-attacks, and from its broadest, most removed perspective the film offers an enticing blend of action, disaster, pandemic and horror."

"A surprisingly smart, gripping and imaginative addition to the zombie-movie canon."

VarietyVariety

"Choosing quantity over quality, intensity over tension and big-screen thrills over low-fi shocks – this is probably what the zombie apocalypse will actually look like."

"The result looks less like a horror flick and more like a thinking man’s action-thriller – the ‘Newsnight’ of zombie films (you’ll know if that’s your cup of tea)."

Time OutTime Out

"While some of World War Z is rotten, the whole stands as a punchy, if conventional action thriller."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"Pitt delivers a capable performance in an immersive apocalyptic spectacle... Waves of startling action counterbalance standard one-man-saves-the-day Hollywood heroics."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"This nightmarish travelogue is coy about gore, but it’s still an effective thrill-ride. If the sequel happens, let’s hope it delivers some actual combat."
