If you've read other half-positive, half-negative reviews on this, I'm probably backing most of what they've said.
The acting was great. That's about it. This is yet another fight-the-whole-world, everyone-else-is-a-zombie movie. It had some great thrills - I practically jumped out of my seat a couple of times.
But overall...it could be Resident Evil 4, or 28 months later...or...you get the point. It had very little to contribute as far as giving a fresh, new idea in the recent "zombie film" obsession.
It's worth a look, once. After that, you might as well give Resident Evil or 28 Days Later another spin in your DVD player.
I'm usually pretty picky about what I watch in theaters, and actually got some recommendations for this one, so I paid the ten bucks each for tickets. What a waste...like I said, worth it just once, but wait for the dollar theaters. I wish I had. This is the worst movie I've seen in the theater in at least 2 years...and though I don't see everything right after it comes out, I see quite a few. I think the last time I was this disappointed for the price I paid was Star Wars Episode III, but at least THAT had some expectations attached.
This baby is a renter or dollar-theater movie, at best. Bad (video game) CGI, stereotypical plot, nothing new. Will Smith made it worth that one viewing. That's about it.
