A good movie, but not an original idea...

Rating: 7/10 (6 January 2008)

The movie is good. Someone told me not to see it, but I realized after the first 2 min. it was a remake of an old movie, that I liked already a lot as fan of sci-fi, trash movies. Yes Omega Man 1971 is probably the most similar movie, even because of the name of the protagonist, but I relate the movie more to The Last Man On Earth with the great Vincent Price. Of course this movie has many more special effects than the previous ones, times have changed..., and different monsters. We go from the 50s and 60s style zombies of Last Man On Earth to these night sort of vampires, very similar by the way to monsters already seen somewhere else. So, not an original movie and not an original idea, but I like Will Smith and generally I like the story. Some mistakes and stupid things around to make the movie more exciting, but ridiculous: I was expecting more to go around on bicycle (after 3 years of world's end...) than with a new Ford Mustang crashing on goats or wild jungle animals... but it's OK... hey, it's Hollywood!! I suggest to see this before saying that it is awful, and you have to like this kind of movies.
