Haven't I Seen Most of This Before?

Rating: 6/10 (14 December 2007)

Let me say right off that movies that hype themselves with lots of fanfare are normally kind of a let down. This movie did not 'hype' itself the way MOST Hollywood films do, so I was more inclined to go see it.
With that being said ... this movie was only so-so story wise. Will Smith is a great actor (never cared for his music much) and the special effects of the abandoned city are damn near seamless (the one thing I really was surprised about) but the CGI of the 'Dark Seekers' and the animals were fair at best. I kept thinking 'Is this I,Robot with that creature from Lord of the Rings?'. The story has been pilfered over the years in so many ways with movies like the ones IMDb recommends, that this one has really missed it's window to be a really good movie that everyone should go see to be entertained.
Of course this is all just opinion, but isn't that what this comment section is all about?
