While the Alternative ending I liked better, overall I am disappointed

Rating: 4/10 (26 March 2008)

I guess I expected too much, but this movie was just silly. Its one thing if a movie is trying to just be a horror movie or whatever, but when it tries to pretend logic and science I become a lot more critical. I also found Will Smith completely unbelievable in his role as 'soldier scientist' - perhaps with another actor in the role I might have liked the film better.
I better liked the alternative ending with the creatures exhibiting relationships and love to each other. And the shots of the wall full of all the photos of 'monsters' the good doctor had killed in his quest to fix everything, to make up for the deaths of his wife and daughter.
The original ending just seemed silly and manipulative forcing him to be martyr while claiming he was listening to god suddenly. All the manipulative "god stuff" in general really annoyed me, too. I could tell right from the beginning they were going to use that tactic.
Overall, I think the movie was silly and unbelievable and I would not recommend it. If you want a good zombie movie, there are tons of better films out there, funny or serious.
