how can this film be so successful?

Rating: 4/10 (12 January 2008)

This film is so flawed and just plain boring. The ending is obvious for anyone with half a brain and all we do is wait for the ineviatable to happen. Of course he's going to find a cure, find some survivors and help repopulate the planet. The only other endings could've been for him to end where he begun, as the only man on earth, thus no plot progression and a possible suicide. This was obviously not going to happen in a Hollywood crowd pleaser.
And what's with all the grass etc growing through concrete. The road out front of my place has not been re-paved in over 10 years and still no grass growing through the cracks.
Bad bad movie. I'm so glad I saw it free, otherwise i'd be demanding a refund.
