Yet another virus outbreak - boring and predictable story!

Rating: 2/10 (3 January 2008)

Yet another remake of 28 days, 28 weeks, 28 months, 28 years, virus, outbreak, "you-name-it" end-of-the-world disaster movies. Even the special effects were lousy! The lions really didn't look really  CGI gone mad and bad.
I'm a movie fan  a big one  and watch a lot of stuff, but I'm getting so sick and tired of all these remakes of the same boring stories. If they're going to spend $100 million plus on a movie, why not make something new, exciting, and creative? There are billions of good books written, but NO, let's use the same story over and over again.
Story: Virus gets loose, because of silly scientist, everyone eats/kills each other, and one guy has to save the entire planet from going under. Wow  that's worth a Pulitzer price, or not?
The only character that acted more or less believable was the German shepherd  maybe he deserves another dog biscuit!
Deep sigh  what happened to the creative Hollywood minds  maybe they should be reading more books, before grabbing another familiar script in their hands. If you really want to use genetic engineering as a story line why not make a movie using "Blood Music" from Greg Bear as an example, or his "Forge of God"  would also make a nice disaster movie, but with a whole lot more story-line!
Hollywood  you disappoint me  somewhere, somehow you lost it for me.
