Waste of Time

Rating: 2/10 (22 May 2007)

My husband and I saw 28 Days Later and loved it but this movie was not even close and the end cried sequel like so many others these days. The story is weak and the gore is just over the top. The movie lost me very early. First of all, if a woman is a virus carrier and she is locked up and strapped down, why does her husband just walk in the door with not a guard in sight? It made no sense considering the whole city is under lock and key and they still hadn't cleaned outside the borders. Did the army just turn stupid overnight?. Then there was the gore that was sometimes so crude that I held my popcorn box up to my face. The whole helicopter scene was so disgusting that it was laughable. As for the tunnel scene with the infra red camera, I didn't know what I was watching for most of it-Blair Witch Project came to mind. All in the movie was a total waste of what could have been a real good story. If you haven't seen Distubia yet-Go!...and skip this one. Or better yet rent the 1971 movie "The Omega Man" with Charlton Heston. Same concept-better writing.
