Mediocre

Rating: 5/10 (3 May 2008)

So here we go again. To be honest I was not expecting too much from this movie having already herd friends opinions of the movie and that coupled with my liking of 'The Omega Man' did not leave me with high expectations and I was not surprised. The premise of the last man left alive in New York as he struggles to find a vaccine to the virus that has turned a portion of New York's population in to zombies who in turn have killed anyone else who could not escape. Nothing is done badly here just averagely the story, the acting and the special effects. Thankfully at least Will Smith manages to play a character that is not himself for once but I could not work out what age he was supposed to be and was confused by the mix of grey hair and gym body. The film slips by and even when we are finally introduces some other characters I did not empathise with any of them. Actually the dog was the character I liked best. So would I watch it again? Only if really desperate and there was absolutely nothing else on.
