A Bad Copy???

Rating: 6/10 (6 January 2008)

I got what I expected out of this film. I was suspecting that it would be a copy of "28 Days Later" and it is very very similar. It really is an Americanized version of it though. 28 Days was a quite nicely done post apocalyptic fantasy that gave a stronger sense of human psychology. Consider the rape-inclined soldiers, a very strong sense of survival etc.
The first part of the movie is great. Will Smith is a great actor. I must say the dog isn't bad either! Nice acting on Sam's part also.
At the bottom of it though this is a spiritualized, Americanized version of 28 Days Later. Especially at the end when he is trying to talk to the diseased. Let me save you??? OK we get it you are Jesus.
Post-apocalypse is an interesting theme in itself but I suppose American audiences need a bit of God in everything.
