Zombie Apocalypse?

One movie I have recently picked up from  my local Redbox is World War Z, starring Brad Pitt. Starting the movie, I was not sure what to expect considering the plot circled around an attack of zombies; needless to say, there have been some pretty cliche "zombie" movies that have premiered in the box office recently. However, about 30 minutes in and I was hooked already. Finishing the movie I was pleasantly surprised to realize that World War Z doesn't portray the storybook version of zombies. These zombies are more lifelike, which in turn makes the movie more realistic and more relatable. In the movie, there is a deadly virus that has been spreading and nobody knows where it originated. The side effects of this virus turn those into flesh eating monsters, and the process of transformation is over exaggerated in a cinematic way...but the theory is not improbable. After all, a few years back we had an incident in real modern time of a man eating another's flesh. Other than the two thumbs up I give to this film for being realistic, the CG and special effects also were well executed and the entire storyline left me captivated and entertained throughout the whole movie. I do wish there was a little more elaboration on the ending, as the movie sort of finished abruptly with a war between the humans and zombies, but besides that I would personally give the World War Z 5 stars for sure.
