Sadly Too Cliché

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2007)

I must admit that this is my first post and i am incredibly hard to please when it comes to floating my cinematic boat. A huge disappointment once again, this did have so much potential. The opening scene of abandonment and isolation are real enough and this continues for a good 2 thirds of the film. Sadly the film decended in to an 'undead' stereotypical monster movie. I doff my cap to Smith's acting it was really well delivered although i felt that the 2 extra characters were only introduced to allow the 'cure' to be passed on.....sorry but just too too cliché !!! There was also a distinct lack of characterisation for the pair, we just did not get to know them. All in all it passed a couple of hours time, very similar to 28 days/weeks later although packed with CGI not as good as the latter. Worth a watch for Smith's acting which is much better that you would expect.
