Inconsistent story about how religion saves mankind from the evil of science

Rating: 1/10 (29 July 2009)

The first about two-thirds of the movie were actually quite enjoyable. Will Smith's acting was superb, I was pleasantly surprised as I was merely expecting another zombie shooter the likes of "Resident Evil". Instead I got an interesting story (with a "Cast Away" touch) about lonely survival with a pet dog being the only companion. Plus the great views of empty Manhattan overrun by plants and wild animals. The story started to be inconsistent pretty quick though. First, our hero remarks that the zombies/vampires/infected have no social behavior whatsoever, and yet later we clearly see that they have a leader controlling and planning coordinated attacks of disciplined followers. And the infected who are supposed to be mindless are capable of perfectly and easily replicating a mechanical trap that our hero lays for one of them, along with somehow figuring out a perfect bait. But in the same time they don't use any tools or existing technology whatsoever. Oh, and they have romantic relationships.
The part that was even more annoying was that the whole story is about the evils of genetic engineering and medicine which will of course create monsters and destroy humanity instead of curing diseases, and will be helpless against their own mistakes. But a message from god will bring the survivors (with immunity, obviously) together to rebuild the world.
Don't waste your time. If you want to see an abandoned Manhattan, just watch "Life After People". If you want to see zombies and vampires, well I could name a dozen better movies off the top of my head.
