Good not great

Rating: 7/10 (26 August 2008)

I enjoyed it a lot. I knew little about the plot before I watched it which was beneficial because there were a few new elements I wasn't expecting. There are a few annoying things here and there - inconsistencies, 'why did he do that?' moments etc - but overall its a good movie. The Neville (Will Smith) character is relatively understated which makes a good change. Smith himself is credible and easy to relate to. Some of the CGI is not up to modern standards but then I think there was more work to do on it than you would initially think. If you have an imagination it won't bother you! I wasn't happy with the ending though. I actually think it would have benefited from a cheesy love story more than the cheesy hero ending.
