A bad disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (2 April 2008)

I have to say that remakes are a bad idea at times. This movie was done out of context of The Omega Man with Charlton Heston. And at that time when the movie was made was a more understandable version than this one with will smith. yet will smith did a fantastic job of acting alone for the most part. The creatures that evolved after a cataclysmic epidemic resulting in the deaths of billions of people, his character was to make a antidote to reverse the effects of the mutagen. Not a bad story but lacked more cohesive answers to the questions. Like such as why this outbreak happened during a cancer cure. Or why he was the only man to stay unaffected or why survivors found him after listening to a radio broadcast?. The creatures as far as i understand it in the omega man all talked and no grunts or loud screaming. Now i don't know if the story was to be that way or they changed it for that reason of rage bellowing endless hours after dark. But it was more feasible than todays version, and it also bordered too close to 28 days later for my taste. This movie should have been thought through a little more before production, and using graphic visuals for the creatures was a bit too much as well. You could actually see the mechanical movements border lining each one when they moved. Real people should be used for this sort of thing, acrobatic or not. I would not recommend this film unless you are a will smith fan like i am. And thats all i saw it for.
