Nothing new

Rating: 6/10 (3 April 2012)

Here is another end of the world action film starring Will Smith and a German Shepherd as his loyal companion on the road of an apocalyptic, dark and dreary landscape. The dog is more genuine than Mr. Smith, with his usual aw shucks demeanor which makes me nauseous.
Smith is Robert Neville, a man on a mission to find out the cause and cure of the virus which has decimated mankind and has created vampire like creatures. He captures a woman, Ruth, and she seems to be immune and so he injects some of her blood into his body. He passes out and wakes up a prisoner of the undead, of which Ruth is a part of. They are angry with him for killing so many of their compatriots. His fate is left in the hands of his opponents and Smith never convinced me that he was really the hero of this mediocre movie.
