Keep in mind, however, that the quality of what you see and hear is also dependent upon the quality of the TV monitor you are watching on as well as the home theater set up you are using. The monitor I use is a fairly new Panasonic ZT 65" plasma and the amps, speakers, cables, BluRay player and Surround Processor I use are hi end esoteric gear to provide me with a more realistic and objective perspective.
VIDEO....
The video quality of this film varies. All of the film is beautifully presented with deep blacks and excellent contrast. At no point did I see any artifacting, dropouts or haloing from the many CGI effects. I also saw no banding in the many sky shots which is where banding can often be seen. Color grading was fairly natural with excellent skin tones and slightly saturated colors. The color grading did vary from cool for the night shots to an overly warm grading during the scenes in Israel. For many films shot in the mid East, the editors produce an overly golden color correction. Not sure why this is as that is not the what you actually see when in the mid East. Maybe they think that the desert is always of a golden color. The mass rush of CGI zombies goes so quickly in its many scenes of this type that the zombies themselves are often a blur of movement rather than a detailed depiction of each zombie running by. This blur obviously causes a loss of detail. Details for the real actors and actresses however are sharp and defined even in the shadow areas. The average Mbps rate appeared to be in the mid 30's and, overall, the quality of the extended version on Blu Ray was really very good.
AUDIO...
I love that there is a 7.1 lossless DTS HD MA audio mix which the film defaults to. If your system is still a 5.1 system, not to fret, the additional 6th and 7th channels will be muxed to feed into your 4th and 5th rear channels without any issues. The lossless audio codec provides clear and transparent dialogue and the audio levels are set so that foley fx does not step on the dialogue. Once you set your volume control you will not need to go back to it to readjust for roller coasting audio. I did watch this film on a 7.1 system and there is excellent use of all channels for panning between the left and right and front and back audio stages. The 6th and 7th channels are not given specific foley sounds to reproduce but add a more expansive and immersive theater experience creating a wide field of ambient sound. Discreet directionality between the channels is more often than not used for larger audio occurrences rather than a cup falling to the floor on the right stage. In other words, not too much small foley fx but more for larger crowd and helicopter type foleys. There are a couple of scenes that produce some of the deepest bottom end for your LFE channel that I have ever heard and your sub will get plenty to do throughout the film. 5 stars for the audio
EXTRAS....
The one clearly negative thing about this Blu Ray is that there are 3 previews of other films. You are paying for their advertising which takes up room on the Blu Ray calling for even more video compression in order to fit it all in. Who wants to pay for an advertisement ? Not me, I'd rather have an improved video transfer with less compression.
Other than that, this Blu Ray has plenty of excellent extras. Often I find the 'Making of ' documentaries to be rather boring but this multi part documentary on the writing of the script, the creation of the CGI work, Stunts and more was really very interesting and included brief and on going narratives with the writers, actors and producers. Also included is a small section on the scientific basis for zombism and it symbolism in the real world. There is no on going commentary while the film is playing.
The Digital copy offers 2 choices between downloading to iTunes which I am doing as I am writing this and Ultra Violet which I have never liked. First I went to the UV address and entered my code, email address and password..all properly...UV said my email address was not valid, weird since that is the only one I ever had. Just don't care for UV. I had no problems at all putting in my Digital copy of the film and redeeming it on iTunes.
I do hope that this review, which focused solely upon the quality of the actual transfer to Blu Ray has been of some help to you in deciding your purchase. All of my reviews are of this nature and I hope they can be of HELP to you as well.
Thanks for reading.

The pace is frenetic, we meet Gerry (Pitt),his wife Karin (played by AMC's The Killing's Mireille Enos) and his two daughters. Gerry has left his position with the UN due to some crisis lightly touched upon in the film and is reconnecting with his wife and children. They are making their way home when chaos erupts in downtown Philadelphia. Traffic is gridlocked and explosions become prevalent...there is a sense of manic urgency as vehicles come careening through other cars to get away....the cinematography is top notch...you can see something is occurring on the periphery, but you can't quite make it out. By the time you see hordes of zombies, you are well entranced by this movie. It is wild.</p>
There is word of an outbreak of rabies then various shots of various countries where the sense of panic is palpable. The Lanes' trip from locked traffic to an apartment to their eventual departure from the city is exciting film-making. You are in the trenches with them and you are rooting for them before you even realize you are doing so.</p>
The film is panoramic, spanning a run through several nations, briefly stopping in Asia, Jerusalem where a goodly part of the story comes to a head and Cardiff, Wales where a major discovery is made. There is a lot going on...Pitt's character when striving to determine the cause of the outbreak asks the apt question to his friend Thierry, Deputy Secretary General, (played with genuine verve and boundless sympathy) by Fana Mokoena, "Is there anyone doing better than us?", hoping some nation is gaining momentum against the growing plague.</p>
Not wanting to spoil anything for anyone....but the plane scene is well.....insane.... this is a ride of epic proportions. For many years, Hollywood has been trying to link Brad Pitt with a franchise...with "World War Z", it might well have succeeded. Pitt's zeal for the role is demonstrated in his performance as well as his world wide marketing campaign. He believes in this project and when you see it, you will understand why. Very much worth your while
