Recycled Zombie Movie

Rating: 3/10 (30 December 2007)

It's a plot that needs to die, yet it keeps coming back. Just like those darn zombies! It's all been done before. Last person on earth, so it seems, (it's in the trailer, so it's not a spoiler), except for the zombies who survived, blah, blah, blah.
The plot was such a ripoff that whoever wrote the screenplay didn't seem to care how they contradicted themselves. Now THAT'S a new achievement, ripping off a plot line older than dirt and managing to screw it up.
What the goal appeared to be is to take a plot that was "in the bag" and dress it up with Will Smith and special effects. No care taken to any sort of accuracy in the sub-plot line or dialog. It's sad because this movie could have gone a whole other direction and it is simply recycled crap.
Will Smith turns in an exceptional performance. It's a shame the writers didn't do the same.
One last thing, if you are going to simulate medical procedures in a film, try watching a few episodes of ER. At least they get it right. Just one more insult to the viewer this movie throws on the pile.
At least I'll get the parodies on SNL and Southpark.
