No frights, tension, or nervous fidgeting in this one. I "think" this is supposed to be the "thinking man's" zombie flick. About as exciting as 'Contagion' this film wows us with a few neat CGI tricks and drags us across the globe pointlessly.
Pitt somnambulizes his way through by playing the reluctant hero charged with a heady task. The rest of the cast just takes their cues and say what they have to say. Noticing that Pitt was one of the producers make me feel like he is trying to make a global statement...what that is I dunno.
This is a good rental but until that time just watch the trailer on repeat and you will see a more exciting film.
