The opening 20 minutes or so (the initial outbreak) is quite frightening. You'll be in for a wild ride because World War Z moves at a fast pace. The entire movie rarely slows down. The super wide shots of people running away from zombies are extraordinary and jaw dropping. The zombies themselves don't look fake at all. If you were worried about that from the trailers, don't be. They're quite scary.
I thought Brad Pitt was great in his role. He doesn't have to do much in terms of acting range but it's enough for the story to keep moving forward. His character never does anything stupid (well maybe except for one part but it didn't matter in the end). His family was great as well. Nobody was annoying.
After the movie, I looked for the soundtrack and was disappointed that Matt Bellamy's material wasn't on the official release. It was called "Isolated System" by Muse. I thought it was used perfectly in the movie. It was basically the main theme for World War Z.
If you followed the movie closely during production, you'll remember that they had to reshoot the entire third act because it tested poorly or something. The final product's climax is still tense and effective.
8/10
Side note: I have a crush on Daniella Kertesz now. She plays the tough Israel soldier in the movie. Hoping to see more of her in the future.
