Would have been OK but....

Rating: 4/10 (24 December 2007)

this film was completely spoilt by the worst CGI in years. It was half film, half video game. Seriously dreadful and unconvincing monsters.
What was the director thinking ?
A summary :
It starts off fine although it reminds one of 28 days later. It also introduces some needless religious wobble towards the implausible end. Will Smith is fine. The flashbacks work well.
But I think Hollywood is lazy once again in rushing out a picture that's been on the backburner for years. And unless you can produce Gollum in the studio, don't bother with shoddy CGI that's only suitable for a game.
