First half good/Second half bad.

Rating: 6/10 (29 April 2019)

Hmm, its a hard movie to review without spoiling it, but i wanted to try and give it a review, since for a change i am not strongly feeling one way or the other about this movies.
First of all, i'm not really a Will Smith fan, so the fact that Will Smith is acting in this movie does not move the rating any higher in my case.
It is one of them "end of the world, scenario" movies, and i understood that it is based on some book? might be interesting read, as was the first half of this movie.
Without spoiling the movie too much, we have this guy Neville ( a scientist ) who seems to be the last man alive, somehow immune to the outbreak virus which got everyone else infected, we also have the real star of the movie - he's dog Sam, the first half goes on with him and sammy exploring the apocalyptic world and trying to find sings of life, and come up with a cure to the virus... The danger creeps in the dark, as the zombies seem to be afraid of light.
I don't know why they chose to use CGI for the zombies, they had better effects in the 1985's movie "Fright Night" so i can't figure how do the zombies look like cheap video game enemies planted on a movie at 2007.
Here is a serious spoiler, but if you have seen the movie or just don't care, about the second half:
The dog dies, it is sad but also frustrating because now the movies dies too, this only proves that the dog was the true star of the movies. Now Will's character loses he's mind cries to some mannequins and tries to kill himself. But suddenly some woman and a kid appear to save him, in this "deus ex machina" moment... But okay, its a movies, movies have deus ex machinae.
What really bothers me is that now that Neville finally did find someone, he is so messed up that he is getting rage fits over some old bacon, and being depressed in general - i mean, c'mon wouldn't he be thrilled to see other humans that he has been looking for? well, then there is some awkward moment when the kid watches Shrek on he's moment and Neville speaks the lines... Ok ? there is also some forced babble about Bob Marley wanting to "cure people of racism" just like "he wants to find a cure for the zombies" a promising (first half) of the movie turned into some awkward mess IMO, and they seem to know it as now it is going to end soon!
Its easy to guess what is going to happen next, the zombies attack to the house... They go to the basement with the live test subject (zombie) who the "Alfa zombie" and he's crew were apparently looking for...
they get behind the armour glass (Or panzer glass whatever it is called in english) with the zombie that seems to be getting cured? , Neville gets some flash backs inspired by the woman's neck tattoo and start believing in god...Takes some of the zombie's cured blood gives it to the woman who goes hiding inside the wall and blows up himself - End of the story.
( Or almost the end, then they show this clip of the woman finding the "refuge" place )
It is not bad for a Will Smith movie (like i said not really a fan) but it could have been a lot better, if they had not messed up the second half, and if they made the zombies look better instead of using cheap computer graphics.
6/10. The dog was very well trained.
