Brad Pitt, like many other stars, doesn’t have the type of acting ability where you forget it is them on screen. For me, she was more interesting hero than Brad Pitt was throughout the movie. She makes mistakes, pays for it, but still keeps fighting. I say this because, unlike Brad, she doesn’t come off invincible.
WORLD WAR Z END MOVIE
In this film though, I felt with Kertesz’s Sergen, we were given a female character in an action movie who didn’t necessarily need to be saved, doesn’t play someone who is a liability, but truly plays someone who gives you the complete human experience. The reason I point her out is because often in action movies, the women are either the hot chick the guy has to end up saving by the end, or the woman who seemingly is modeled to void any sense of femininity type of femininity as if the character can’t be strong and still have feminine qualities.
Now, one thing I did like was the role of Segen played in this movie. So, basically it has the same workings of 90% of all action movies. All the while, he manages to get by hundreds of thousands of zombies and only ends up swallowing a little of their blood. Korea, Israel and, ultimately, Wales to find something to save the world. So, after Brad makes sure his family is safe, he goes off to S. In most cases the reason for the call would be a terrorist, but in this case it is a Resident Evil style outbreak which seemingly has no exact origin. So, with that said, as you can imagine Brad plays this former soldier who is in the process of trying to live a normal, low-key life, but then something happens which forces him to show why people high up in government know who he is. I don’t know why though, for it resembles 28 Days Later much more. Story wise, at the end of the movie I got a sort of I Am Legend vibe from it. I mean there is also Gerry’s wife Karin (played by Mireille Enos) and the lovely Ruth Negga who plays a WHO (World Health Organization) Doctor, but she is not given a name. Outside of those two, the only other character worth noting is Daniella Kertesz’s Segen for she helps Gerry on his quest. However, in order to do so, he has to aide Thierry (played by Fana Mokoena), the UN deputy secretary general, in his quest to find patient zero or a cure. Naturally, Brad Pitt has the lead role and he plays Gerry who seemingly is a former Special Forces soldier trying to more so protect his family than save the world. The amount of developed characters in this film are nil, but you at the very least are given a name and title to identify them by. Though many could be drawn by the source material or just because you got an itch to see some zombies? Either way, let’s get to it! But, for the rest of you, I assume Brad Pitt could be the reason for seeing this movie. To be perfectly honest, the only reason I saw this film was because of Ruth Negga.
