After waiting in the cheap theatre for what seemed an extra 10 minutes to fix whatever it is to get the dvd to play...the horror movie finally began. Yes, a horror movie.
Once upon a time their was a pig or a bird or something to infect someone somewhere. The possible first one to be infected and named as the grand zero victim is a small boy in Taiwan a virus spreads and spreads quickly.
What begins as any ordinary day for the Gerry Lane family quickly changes.
In the first scene when we see Brad Pitt as Gerry Lane with his wife I thought "Oh, he has greasy hair. When is he going to wash and cut that. Yuk!" The hair only gets worse, as does the movie.
Back to the horror show, After seeing zombies bite and maim and re-infect other beings, the terror sets in. Lane is reactivated into the "army of armies". How would the world have survived with out him? He is able to win battle after battle with the beasts. At the climax of this movie, our hero Lane is chased by a zombie into a room with only one way out. The zombie stares at Lane while he clenches his teeth, up, then down in quick succession. Sooo scary! Or it should have been. Sadly, laughter filled the theatre. I couldn't help but join in.
The movie ends well for some, not for others. I must say that I didn't bother with the movie reviewers on this one. I tried to get my son to see this one with me an he refused. He said he wouldn't waste $1.50 + popcorn on this.
My recommendation is wait for it to be on Netflix. Hulu, or other cable channels.
