Roger Ebert

"The notion of telling this tale in a roundabout way, by having survivors of the conflagration sit there and talk to an unseen cameraperson—perhaps against a plain black background, with or without cutaways to still photographs or 'news video'—is electrifying to consider."

Much of this film is zombie business as usual, with Pitt in full save the world mode, but it's fun to see this familiar material done with intelligence and skill.

The Verge

There’s tremendous joy in watching a movie like World War Z that just works. Too many films this year have seemed more concerned with showing the audience how clever they are — either though misdirection, callbacks, or faux gravitas — instead of just telling good stories. In that sense, World War Z is practically a revelation: a smart film that’s able to deliver on its promise, no matter how many problems it encountered along the way.

World War Z, inspired by if not really based on the popular book by Max Brooks, isn't just a zombie movie. The film, which Pitt also produced, is designed to be less a horror movie than it is a globe-spanning, international thriller, albeit one with zombies in it.

If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the movie. It literally shows everything that happens in the movie, completely destroying any suspense that might have been had.

Rotten Tomatoes

Successfully captures the fragmented and anthological nature of the source material, with the scope and scale managing to deliver exciting sequences not often seen in low-budget zombie fare.
