weird...

Rating: 5/10 (21 December 2007)

OK, well, I give this 5 points because it has some good basic ideas. But the tendency is giving less points. In the beginning of this movie I was really excited and happy of seeing something kind of "new" in this Post-Apocalyptic scenario. I didn't know anything about the movie so I was really looking forward to where it all would lead. Unfortunately I was a little disappointed. The devastation that hit New York is impressive. But throughout the movie it looses the rather good plot and thought behind it and looks like a lame remake of "28 days later" meets "The Descent". I do not like patriotic heroism in movies and there is certainly a lot of other really stupid things in the story, which I really dislike but wont mention to not spoil the movie for people who might enjoy this flick. I like Will Smith, I think he plays his character pretty good in a couple of scenes, but after half the movie I just couldn't help but loosing interest. Its obvious where the movie ends and dialogs about the greatness of good really suck bad, although one conversation -as can be found in the information to the movie (fun stuff)- would be worth sampling. All in all watchable but yet not more impressing then the first 15 minutes.
