Cross between "28 Days Later" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"

Rating: 3/10 (5 January 2008)

I had high hopes for this movie, given all the publicity it has received. It was a big disappointment.
There was nothing original in it, the majority of the ideas having been blatantly copied from the brilliant "28 Days Later". But while "28 days Later" used stroboscopic effects to heighten the tension when the infected attack, Legend seems to rely on having the camera shaken around resulting in an irritatingly blurred image.
And the reason the movie requires the camera shaking is to attempt to disguise the appallingly bad CGI zombies, hence my Roger Rabbit reference. They really are totally unconvincing, which is surprise given how good other effects in the film are, particularly the deer running through the streets.
One or two moments of inspiration but overall just a another Hollywood "turn the handle on the sausage machine and regurgitate someone else's ideas" effort.
