A Wonderful Experience

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2007)

I find this film both amusing and suffering. I'm the kind of person who really gets involved with a movie. Just like The Last Man on Earth (1964), when, of course, with the last man trying to survive the new dreadful earth. That is filled with some kind of monstrous being. I was amazed that the movie took place in 2012. Which is remarkable, because Nostradamous (a famous prophet) wrote that the world will end in 2012. Will Smith is a perfect match to his character, and I even appreciate that this character was given some human effect. I say this because, in these kind of movies the characters are always heroic and fearless. But this character is a normal man who lives with his dog. I special effects were well done and I like the way New York was portrayed. It was a empty ruin, with grass growing tall and objects stable. There are movies were the "ghost" city is just (I guess) empty. So, the setting was perfectly matched, along with the actor. I this movie, real life connections were established. The connection with Bob Marley and cancer. Furthermore, I hate when people title this movie a "zombie movie." It is a "zombie" movie, but the difference is that it uses the "zombies" to be more of a mutated 'human.' Anyway, the movie matches drama and horror at the same time. A complete top of your seat thriller.
