Why does everyone love this movie?

Rating: 2/10 (16 December 2007)

I had high hopes for this movie, especially since I really like Will Smith and the trailer looked cool. Now I must admit, I'm not much of a sci-fi fan. But this movie looked really interesting. Yet I was really disappointed with the entire film. I thought using real people instead of computer graphics for the mutants would have been much more intense and frightening. And it seemed like a long movie even thought it really wasn't. Smith was decent, especially since he really didn't have much to work with. The movie didn't draw the viewer into the story at all for me. It seemed like it all just kind of happened on the screen and you understand why, but I had no connection with any of it. Giving a little more background information and less graphics would have been much better. Overall, I would never consider watching it again, even if it came on dish for free.
