I Am Disappointed

Rating: 4/10 (22 March 2008)

I liked this movie much better when it was called "28 Days Later".
Seriously, though, "28" was an extremely well done movie, where this rip-off/re-make of "Omega Man" is the typical load of Hollywood dreck, starring the Stale Prince himself, Will Smith.
Smith just doesn't have the talent to disappear in a role. You always feel like, "Will is hunting deer. Will's dog just died, etc." Also, is it written into his contracts that he has to flash his physique in EVERY film he does? Yuck.
There's nothing really creepy about the mutants,or whatever they are, in this film. "Omega Man" was wonderfully creepy/cheesy with it's sentient mutants. The mutants in this film look very similar to those in "The Descent" (Another superior film), especially when they converge on the Stale Prince's lair in the end. Reminiscent of the scene where Juno is set upon by hordes of the cave mutants.
Really boring, and there just seems to be no purpose to the characters of Ana and Ethan. Too many plot holes to enable you to suspend reality, and a typical Hollywood ending. "Waterworld" did post-apocalyptic much better than this, even if it was something of a dog.
Save your money for "28 Days Later/28Weeks Later", or "Dawn of The Dead", if you like movies of this genre. If you can get past the fact that it's very dated and '70's cheeseball, "Omega Man" is so much better than it's re-make.
