WORLD WAR Z (2013) FULL MOVIE REACTION AND REVIEW! Today on Reel Rejects, Greg Alba and Paige Kimsey visit the most expensive, high-stakes zombie blockbuster ever made to analyze how this global undead apocalypse hits entirely differently in a post-quarantine world. World War Z Full Movie Uncut Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ With Aliens invading in Disclosure Day, Greg and Paige brave a kinetic, tension-fueled rewatch that explores mother nature's status as the ultimate, creative serial killer. We unpack the stellar performances of the main cast, starring Brad Pitt (Fight Club, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) delivering a masterclass in survival calm as former UN investigator Gerry Lane, Mireille Enos (The Killing, Hanna) as his resilient wife Karin Lane, and Daniella Kertesz (Shtisel) as the fierce, short-haired Israeli soldier Segen. We also break down the high-profile supporting players and cameos, including James Badge Dale (The Departed, Iron Man 3) as Captain Speke at the dark Camp Humphreys base in South Korea, Elyes Gabel (Scorpion, Game of Thrones) as the ill-fated young virologist Dr. Fassbach, and a famously brief appearance by Matthew Fox (Lost, Speed Racer) as a Navy SEAL pararescue officer stationed on the U.S. Navy command ship. Our hosts react to every pulse-pounding, breakneck setpiece, starting with the claustrophobic panic of the Philadelphia traffic jam escape and the terrifying 12-second countdown that tracks a human fully transforming into a raging, headbutting monster. We break down the sheer chaos of the pharmacy looting sequence, the dark rainy bicycle stealth mission in South Korea, and the jaw-dropping visual onslaught at the Jerusalem salvation gates where mountains of infected scale massive walls. Finally, we analyze the terrifying commercial flight plane crash triggered by a loose grenade, Gerry's agonizing survival walking around with a piece of aircraft debris stuck in his gut, and the incredibly tense stealth sequence through the W.H.O. research facility's B-wing Vault 139 in Cardiff, Wales. We evaluate the brilliant 10th-man logic theory, the editing frenzy of the action sequences, and the absolute genius of the iconic, unhinged Pepsi machine advertisement moment that unlocks the ultimate camouflage vaccine strategy, so drop your thoughts in the comments below! #reaction #react #review #WorldWarZ #WorldWarZReaction #WWZ #ZombieMovie #ZombieApocalypse #BradPitt #MovieReaction #FirstTimeWatching #Film #Movies #HorrorReaction #SciFiThriller #MovieReview #firsttimewatchingmoviereaction #WorldWarZMovieReaction #WorldWarZReview MEN IN BLACK (1997) MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/qLVr2uqSwWc INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 2x08 REACTION: https://youtu.be/biPxGRvbe-U THE GENTLEMEN (2019) MOVIE REACTION https://youtu.be/1w2_eETiA5Q Follow *Greg Alba* https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ https://twitter.com/thegregalba Follow *Paige Kimsey* https://www.instagram.com/paige.popcorn?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== 0:00 Checking In! 2:06 World War Z Reaction 1:04:26 World War Z Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8

Gerry Lane casually pausing a life-or-death stealth mission to down a cold can of Pepsi right in front of a clicking, snapping rage zombie is easily one of the most legendary blockbuster moments ever! - Hit *LIKE & SUBSCRIBE* for more https://www.youtube.com/user/TheReelRejects?sub_confirmation=1 - Catch our completely raw, feature-length *Watch-Along* video for World War Z over on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - Grab your official *REEL REJECTS* apparel and premium channel merch right here: https://www.rejectnationshop.com/

22:11 Gerry wasn't just a regular investigator. The movie implies he was a high-level UN crisis specialist who investigated wars, disasters, and international emergencies. That's why he has global contacts, can work with governments and militaries, and is so good at finding patterns others miss. During the zombie outbreak, the UN needs someone to investigate and solve the crisis, not just fight it.

Peter Capaldi was named as the new Doctor on Doctor Who, just days after the release of WWZ in which he was credited as Who Doctor.

Fun fact: you have seen the pilot of the (commercial) plane before. The actor also played the pilot/smuggler Yuri in season 4 of stranger things

There were talks about a sequel, but it was cancelled in 2019, yet Paramount is hoping to do either a sequel or a reboot to the film or a new adaptation of the novel.

Fun fact: Brad Pitt said of his involvement in the film, "This whole thing started because I just wanted to do a film that my boys could see before they turned 18 - one that they would like, anyways. And they love a zombie movie."
