Castaway meets Dawn of the Dead

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2007)

The eight vote is because the movie itself was still fairly good, even if it didn't resemble the book.
I'm particularly pleased with the way they developed Robert's character, with his periods of introspection and flashbacks. Illustrating the methods he used to find companionship was also creative and interesting to me.
That said, I wish that Hollywood didn't have the incessant need to CGI everything. The vampires would have been 2135023567027843 more frightening and believable if they'd used true live actors and used CGI to enhance. (Like in Blade 2, for example) Imagine Dawn of the Dead with the zombies almost entirely rendered in CGI? It would be a mess! At any rate, this was still a good movie with a few good thrills. I recommend it.
