Finally! Will Smith's BEST movie and my new favorite!

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2007)

I am not your typical Zombie movie genre lover. I'm a 27 year old woman,a girlie girl, but underneath it all I am absolutely enamored with all (well portrayed) things Zombie. This film was so amazing, Will Smith gave an outstanding performance of a man trying to survive in what is truly a "living hell." All alone except for his Dog, Sam. His conversation with the "dummies" at the video store just to have interaction or at least pretend to was quite moving. When Sam passed, I was reminded of Tom Hanks and Wilson from Castaway. The only soul you could connect with is gone. After you've already lost so much. The effects/CGI were amazing. To see Manhattan so desolate and in ruins is breath taking. They were very detailed in location, I saw Duane Reade Pharmacy in one scene. I also loved the Promotion in Times Square of the Superman vs. Batman movie "coming soon". The dark seekers were horrifying, especially when they came in so many numbers and could scale walls. These types of movies rarely have a happy ending, but it shows the dedication, faith and sacrifice of someone for a cause on a grander scale. Truly a masterpiece- scary but meaningful.
