You are an idiot

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2007)

Obviously you (whoever commented before me) did not watch the movie. First of all we do know why the epidemic started... there was a cure for cancer and it backfired causing this "mutilation." You even mentioned that yourself. Also, why would we need to know why he was chosen? My guess would be because he was a general in the army and a the scientist who helped make the "cure," but i don't know, but the point is, it would make things more complicated and the movie longer and would probably make it worse because, most likely, it would take a turn and not know how to get back on track. And did you stay for the entire movie? Near the end when he is talking to Anna he explains everything to her. He gives her a bunch of statistics that explain what happened. So what he doesn't say why some people were immune, but how would he know? He doesn't even know what the cure is. And for the acting... you must obviously not like Will Smith, or at least love Tom Hanks, but i can tell you now he gives a much stronger performance than Tom Hanks in castaway. The entire film i related to Will and he did such a good job of making you feel what it would be like to be alone and sad, especially after his dog dies. (And by the way the dog dieing was much more sad than the Wilson scene in Casaway.) And for the special effects... sure they weren't the best, but not every movie is going to be like transformers. Plus, I'm sure budget had to do a lot about it, making New York empty and destroying the bridge cost 50 million dollars. So what i have to say is this: Will Smith's acting is very very good, the plot is awesome (i know there are a lot of "end of the world" plots but this one is the best of all those types of movies i've seen because curing cancer and having it backfire could actually happen, probably not the zombie part, but that type of movie needs suspense.) This movie is very good and all of you readers out there don't listen to this review or any other's like it (which are many and that boggles the hell out of my mind) and go see the movie if you haven't already, i know i will go see it again, especially in the imax! i say 10/10
