A refreshing new twist on an old idea,with few flaws.

Rating: 7/10 (8 January 2008)

The whole flesh eating zombie idea has been seemingly done to death,but what I like about this film is instead of a small group of people fighting them off,all we have is one man,or so it seems,and his dog.The man happens to be a scientist,one of the best in the field.He struggles to find a cure to the disease infesting these people while having to fend them off alone.Or is he alone?I find this new angle very refreshing and exciting.Will Smith does a credible job here as he continues to establish himself in the science fiction genre.The only real flaw I see in the film is that these "zombies",while intimidating,are featured with a little too much computer graphics.I think they would have been just as scary without them.Good film.
