My Heart still races just thinking about the suspense scenes inside that building

Rating: 4/10 (23 January 2008)

OK. So I am a wimp, but at least I'm prepared to say so. I hated the mutants, they scared the pants off me! I'm totally sensitised to that sort of thing though because we don't have TV and never go to the movies. I hate horror or psychological thriller so Will smith creeping around in the dark trying not to let his light be seen and looking for his dog and stumbling across the 'hive' of mutants and then the one that ran at him screaming... really freaked me out.
Thought that Will Smith did very well, acted mostly convincingly.
Loved the product placement of so many Apple Mac computers.
A few continuity things...
Can someone please explain how the woman and kid got across to the island and back off again in only their car / truck. I thought the bridges had been blown!! Where did all the animals come from? this is NY island so how did they get there? Tunnels would have been blocked / covered too and they'd never survive long enough in the zoo without food to get out! Doesn't the dog react rather too quickly to infection? How did the mutants trace them back to his house? And if they did why didn't they attack the first night they were there?
otherwise quite interesting, except for that badly made model of the aircraft he was hitting balls from - see the painted red blanking plate on the thruster!!
