Snippet from My Review: (read my full review here)

World War Z is messy, there’s no doubt. At one point a presumably important character slips, falls and shoots himself dead. The reaction to this moment is so muted and dismissive you begin to think, “Okay, maybe that person wasn’t so important?” However, as the story evolves, I found myself increasingly drawn into the narrative, leading up to a final 30-45 minutes that had me wishing there was another hour left in the movie rather than a disappointing montage before the end credits.

Starter Questions

Here are a couple of questions to help get the conversation started.

1.) I felt I could have watched another hour of this movie and was disappointed in its abrupt ending. How about you?

2.) I actually really liked some of the 3-D moments, particularly the aerial scenes involving the helicopters. As always I would prefer all movies be in 2-D, but outside of a little too much shaky camera work, the 3-D didn’t bother me as much here. You?
