Movie Review by B Movie Ben
May 11th, 2008

God didn't do this. We did!

Favorite Movie Quote: "Every *single* person that you or I has ever known is dead! Dead! There is no god!"

OK, I got the short end of the stick here on Mother's Day. My stepdaughter took her mom to Red Lobster and brought me Will Smith. Thanks a lot! As sci-fi goes, this really wasn't a bad movie. It didn't have the character of Vincent Price in The Last Man on Earth - sorry, Will, you just have no depth; but it did have some fantastic sound and visual effects.

The hunt for deer through Time Square was a wonder. The sound of the infecteds was intense and thrilling. I would have preferred human infecteds like in 28 Days Later, but I'm a bit of a purist. Why use CGI when humans can do it just as well? It was an enjoyable film, but I still would have preferred going to Red Lobster.

I agree...this film had potential to be great....but I feel the CGI and slow pace ruined it. If they would have added a little 28 Days Later or Dawn of the Dead in this I would have been hooked.

I think they were more interested in making money off Will Smith than producing a great movie.

Well I must say that even though your right that Smith is and never will be a Price....I still think this role shows that he is talented...its hard to carry an entire movie by yourself.
