Great film, not as good as original, but what is...

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2007)

Well, I was worried about this, as I gave the original film 10/10, as I think it's going to become a cult classic like the Crow etc...
I had nothing to fear... with one of the all time best intro 10 minutes I've ever seen... really stunning filmed and the music taken from the original... believe me, it's breath taking filming.
Carlyle is exceptional and was perfect for the role.. with all the other actors in top notch form especially the marine. However, found the boy to be annoying and woeful in his acting ability, which is one of the reasons I've only given a 9/10.
The use of the army but not giving it the "lets kick ass" typical yank style is refreshing, making them as vulnerable as ourselves in the UK...
One of the best soundtracks of 2007, with a great way of making the virus spread again... I was trying to work out how they were going to do it again, from a dog? Cat or something... very very nicely done in a fantastic scene (even if it does steal from the original)... Watch this and watch how horrors should be made USA... because this is nigh on perfect like the original!
