Not that bad

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2008)

A fairly good movie. I never rented or saw it in the movie theater cause the title and picture seemed egotistical and most movies these days suck, so I figured this one would as well.
But I watched it on one of those free movies sites and thought it was pretty good. If you get past the many problems with the story; That after 3 years most of the food would have expired, That all the gas would have been gone or been no good anymore, That the electricity would have all been shut off, That the zombie monsters with rabies would have long since died of starvation.
That there was no real explanation why some people get this virus, while he didn't, his dog didn't, the deer and the lions didn't and many of the other inconsistencies and confusion with the stories....
If you get past all that, it's a fairly good movie and subject matter. I'm sure everybody has dreamed about such a thing, having a whole city to themselves, I think they could have done a little bit more with that other than going to the video rental store, you'd think.
But in a new world of floods of horribly bad cheap crappy Hollywood movies, Will Smith still makes a movie good enough to wait for it to download for free, and that is saying a lot these days.
I think I'd even buy it if I see it for sale on the previously viewed rack at the local drug store.
So two thumbs up, with a lot of plot line problems.
