To close to I Am Legend! 5/10

Rating: 5/10 (27 October 2013)

Review: I'm in two minds about this movie. In one way, the film is quite intense and you do stick with it to see the outcome, but in another way, it was just too close to I Am Legend which was a much better movie. The director done a good job with making the whole zombie situation seem real, and the effects were brilliant, but the pace of the film made it seem much longer than it was. All the way through the film it is pretty intense, unlike I Am Legend which makes you care about Will Smiths character, and of course, his dog. I think that was what was missing in this movie. Don't get me wrong, it is made very well and all of the characters put in good performances, but no one mentioned the people that they have lost which would have brought emotion to the film. In all, it's full of entertainment and intensity, but it wasn't amazing. Watchable!
Round-Up: After not seeing Brad Pitt on screen for some time, due to all of the kids that he is being a daddy to, he is quite moody in this film and, in some ways, his performance didn't really stand out. It wasn't that surprising that he was playing the man who saves the world, but he could have brought some sort of emotion or wit to his role. I know that the emergency of the situation was why he was so intense, which was why Will Smith was an excellent choice for I Am Legend because he was able to mix it up. All of the other characters don't really get a chance to shine in the film because the focus is manually around Brad Pitt, even though the whole world is being swarmed by zombies. It's obvious that everyone surrounding this movie had faith in the project because of the high budget, and judging by the money that it made, you can tell that Brad Pitt can still pull in audiences, but this won't go down as a classic.
Budget: $190million Worldwide Gross: $540million
I recommend this movie to people who are into there zombies movies were one man has to save the world. 5/10
