World War Z (2013)
6/10
Worthy of watching

World War Z is a fast paced film, like most zombie movies. But it is also very "detailed" in a sense, that it at times shows the Undead very up close and personal and they even have some interesting behavioral qualities. The zombie masses are surprising in their efficiency at and in their persistent strive to kill (recommended in 3D). In some tense episodes we can get acquainted with the personal qualities of individual zombies quite closely, like a clapper of teeth, inspired by hunger. Or something similar.

This film, like many other end of the world films, contains a good scene of a regular morning, when everything looks normal, but then suddenly a mass of people starts attacking other, peaceful and pacified, mass of people, who are unable to resist in any way. One can sense hundreds perishing (and then rising). The turning of fortunes towards the living is the story of this film.

Interestingly enough, I had the impression of a "green message" this movie was somehow supposed to convey - that the zombie epidemic was Mother Nature's punishment for the Mankinds "evil ways". At least one can get an idea like that from the opening scenes.
