Great film, despite what some may say.

Rating: 9/10 (28 October 2007)

I think this is one of the scariest movies I've seen in a long time. It's not corny, it has realistic action with realistic situations which keeps you engaged in the story. What makes it so scary is not the jumps, although they are very good, but just the suspense and anticipation of what might happen. You really can't ever rest, there is always something waiting to happen, and there are a few scenes in particular that make you wanna pee your pants.
Some have talked about how astoundingly stupid some of the decisions are that the characters make, and some of them are stupid. Even just the idea of repopulating england seems retarded to me, but I don't think it's far fetched. Stupid decisions are made all the time, with governments, the military, and normal people. Especially since it's the US military guarding the streets in england there, it doesn't surprise me they didn't take better precautions. I don't thing the preposterousness of the decisions at all reduces the quality of this movie. If anything, it makes it seem real to me. There's no lame one liners, no flashy characters, just a lot of normal people that you can relate to, and that makes it seem real, and much more scary.
