Another film about the Zombie Apocalypse.

Rating: 4/10 (15 March 2020)

I immediately realized, just by seeing the trailer, that this was more of a post-apocalyptic film where an individual, somehow, survives or tries to fight a disease that almost completely exterminated the human race. I am not a fan of this type of films, as they are usually stopped and make me sleepy. Even so, I decided to see it to confirm the preconceived idea I had.
The film is essentially Will Smith moving around an abandoned New York while talking to a friendly dog. The way the film starts has an impact and holds us back, but what holds us still more is seeing the way Smith lives and emotionally connects with his canine companion, who is totally adorable. The actor is good, and does a satisfying job. The threat he tries to contain has always seemed a little unrealistic, within the line of the "zombie apocalypse" that is common to many films and has been in fashion, but which has nothing new and, frankly, has become tiring. The movie is better when Smith and the dog roam alone than when all the zombies enter the scene, willing to eat their brains. As the film develops, it gets worse. The arrival of more characters from Brazil is even stranger than everything else.
Technically, I really liked the big plans of the deserted and abandoned city, and the scenarios and props well elaborated and made in a convincing way. The soundtrack is somewhat sinister and works well, taking into account the environment and the theme.
