breath-taking

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2010)

Extraordinarily suspenseful movie. There are quite a few scenes when the excitement almost becomes too much to bear - I was sweating and my stomach began to get irritated! - Definitely not a movie for weak nerves. As indicated, the movie "contains elements" of "The Omega Man" with Charlton Heston. However, it really looks like a very well done remake of the sci-fi classic, improving to an astonishing level the weak parts of the older movie, for example the time before the vampire attacks and the accompanying suspense, and making the main character a lot more positive and easy to identify with. Very nice as well the incorporation of the dog. All in all maybe one of the best "no-future" Hollywood movies of the past few years (I'm not telling the ending). Brilliant performance of Will Smith.
