Unfortunately WWZ which could have been a great film is plagued with bad script writing, as character motivations often make no sense with how people act so from the start of the movie the audience is taken out of their suspension of disbelief. When will script writers & directors start to realise that each scene has to make logical sense to the audience for them to invest their belief in the possibility this could happen, as we are willing to accept outlandish ideas so long as characters act realistically.
Brad Pitt's character "Gerry Lane" comes across as an idiot, who ( with the knowledge he has at the time in the movie ) puts lots of innocent people's lives in danger by acting completely irrationally so he comes across as a selfish jerk we don't like. There was no need for the Director & script writers to do that as the audience want heroes that we like & want to root for too.
For some reason the script writers want us to think that though "Gerry Lane" is incredibly stupid & dumb he some how is well respected by his peers & former bosses for past history, so is vital to save even though he has no real knowledge of how to help & on top of that only "Gerry Lane" can figure out how to save the day when specialists in their field are too dumb to be able to work out the same conclusions for themselves. "Gerry Lane" being an idiot savant just doesn't work for the audience.
There are many plot holes & ridiculous scenarios that are used to try to cause drama & move the story along, plus moments where decisions made make no sense & unnecessary risks are taken for no logical reason, as script plagued by bad writing.
