San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
Exciting, truly harrowing and smartly directed apocalyptic thriller from Marc Forster ("Monster's Ball"). It's the scariest zombie movie in many years.

Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
Forster and his team have also mastered the discreet edit, leaving a lot of the blood, gore, and zombie slime to the imagination. (It's still a pretty convincingly creepy affair.)

Rolling Stone Peter Travers
World War Z is still as smart, shifty and scary as a starving zombie ready to chow down on you, baby, you.

Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern
This enjoyable shambles of a sci-fi thriller, directed by Marc Forster in impressive 3-D, stands on its own as a powerful vision of planetary chaos.

The movie has made it to theaters not dead on arrival, but walking dead, running dead, and - when it's really working - swarming dead.

USA Today Claudia Puig
Essentially, it boils down to familiar fare: a well-paced, entertaining, conventional action thriller where a reluctant hero saves the day.

New York Daily News Joe Neumaier
It is no summer thriller. It's an anemic actioner that fosters excitement like dead limbs as it lumbers toward a conclusion.
