Ridiculous

Rating: 3/10 (15 December 2007)

I usually do not go to horror movies, but I decided to view this one because promised more than this.
And it actually delivered less than a well done horror movie.
I'll just list several of the mistakes that made this movie ridiculous: 1. when Neville (Will Smith) injects the cure into the captured mutant, it takes only few seconds to see the effect, which is impossible. That cure had genetic re-writing at its base, so it is not possible to be visible in a matter of seconds. Why didn't they choose to see the effect a day later? 2. the mutants first are said (and shown) to have lost any human characteristic, but then they prove to be very organized. They even know how to set elaborate traps and they have dogs, even though they communicate only via screams.
3. the heads of mutants must have been made of titanium. Only two of them are able roll a fully geared SUV. They smash special protection glasses with no scratch.
4. they move at incredible speeds, climb buildings as if are spiders, have amazing muscular force, how did they get all these? This movie was supposed to be realistic, not a pathetic post-apocalyptic story about spider men.
5. they have a very increased metabolism, which means that actually they had to eat all the time. nothing is left in NY after 3 years, but they're thriving. In reality, such animals wouldn't have survived one winter.
And the list goes on and on. I gave 3/10 for Will Smith and the dog. Otherwise, the movie cannot be rated.
