Good influence and a good show of a legendary man, but...

Rating: 7/10 (27 January 2008)

But I gave it a "7". Why is that? It is really a good influence, and it really shows us a legendary man.
The reason I gave it a "7" is -3 points for visual effects. It could be a remarkable movie if visual effects would be more realistic. After I have seen the first mutant, I felt like I was watching a computer game. Even the new generation computer games have much more realistic graphics than those mutants.
It was a very beautiful starting that we see an alone man after a little information and a show of TV news. There is a man with his dog, and walking in a world became natural. It is a very good influence.
Making people curious is one of the most important things in a movie's screenplay. We feel that curiosity in first scenes of the movie. This is another good influence.
We see a very lonely man talking to mannequins. His loneliness gave him a need for people, and to satisfy this need, he makes mannequins and talks to them, even falls in love with them. This gives a very good influence of loneliness in movie.
We really see a legendary man, who gives everything for humanity to live. He is the one and only man working to fix this cure in the heart of these events, actually, we end watching this movie feeling a respect for a movie character.
Francis Lawrence directed an original post-apocalyptic movie; but the importance of post-apocalyptic movies, the reason people like these kind of movies is its closeness to the reality. "The Day after Tomorrow" was a very good example of this reality. We have seen very realistic effects and a very good reason for this apocalypse. In this movie, we see a very good reason, but very unrealistic visual effects.
In an action or fantasy movie, visual effects can be computer-like as "Constantine" directed by the same director was a very good movie. In this movie, demons were computer-like, it was good; but in that movie, it is a mistake to show computer-like creatures; because there is a very important difference: These creatures are mutated humans. Men cannot mutate to a computer-like creatures. It is very unreasonable.
Apart from unrealistic visual effects, this is a very good movie. Watching this movie as a very good movie is possible. Just ignore the visual effects, consider mutants as realistic, then you will see a very original post-apocalyptic movie, and you are going to meet a new hero, then you will not forget the movie.
