World War Z Attacks The Audience With The Same Old Hero Movie Moments By Art Byrd I am not a zombie fan. Even though, my good friend, Jason got me to watch the first season of The Walking Dead, the AMC hit series about zombies taking over the world and a small group of people trying to fight them off. I like the series, but still not a zombie movie fan.

I saw the trailer for World War Z. It showed a lot of people trying to scale a wall, but you can’t tell if they were zombies. In fact, zombies were not mentioned in the trailer. The movie caught my attention. The movie starts off with an opening sequence showing the world in chaos with human suffering and animals eating other animals. Then, we moved to the calmness of a family setting in the suburbs. Brad Pitt who plays Gerry Lane and his wife, Karin played by Mireille Enos (The Killing) are awakened by their two young daughters in bed. The loving family is having breakfast looking at television and something is happening worldwide and they are not sure what it is. The youngest daughter says to Gerry” Daddy, all you do is make pancakes.” Gerry tells his daughter that he did something else but wanted to stay-athome with the family. His look of seriousness lets the audience know that whatever he did before was important.
“I'm positive and I smile a lot, and I'm kind of a banana, but serious work just seems to find me, so I'm not going to argue with it.” Actress Mireille Enos (The Killing) starring in World War Z playing in theaters now.
