Refreshing Movie

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2007)

It seems that nowadays, every time I go see a movie I end up leaving saying "Geez, I just wasted money and time I will never get back." This time, I left in a decently satisfied mood. Will Smith delivers a terrific performance as Dr. Robert Neville, the last man on Earth. Whenever I see a zombie movie trailer I have the assumption that it is just widespread chaos, fires, bodies, destruction, all of that sort. Not this time. It is good to take a somewhat realistic but far-fetched approach to a zombie-survival movie with a great plot line built into it. New York in the near future empty looks phenomenal. The only flaws I can really point out are that the action sequences were short and few, but ultimately satisfying. Be prepared to jump out of your seat and leave feeling good because this is a holiday movie that you must see.
