World War Z (Marc Forster, 2013)

Presumably the writers decided that the world created by 28 Days Later, with its sprinting, instantly turning zombies was 'worth exploring', so World War Z is basically a whistlestop tour around the globe with pauses for CGI mass carnage. The hero, Brad Pitt with his doleful Jesus face on, is reluctantly pressed into it, of course, having his cute kids to worry about, and even after decades of celluloid devoted to the pressing problem of armies of the undead, little progress seems to have been made in adding plausibility to the premise, albeit it that is now only called a super-virus and they don't go around hankering after brains. Apparently you can also fly in a day from South Korea to Israel in an antiquated cargo plane without stopping, and this sums up the overall level of pointlessness quite neatly.
