saw it last nite...Will is in incredible shape....

the movie was ok I guess....I'm still confused about one thing...when he gets caught in the snare...is it one he had set and he had a brain fart or did the infected set it...confuse...

I felt it kinda over explained parts of the story and didn't explore other parts deep enough....


I'm still unsure about that part too.

weird that it would release the same time as a major blockbuster based on the same story, huh? confuse


Nono; smart! It is smart to KNOW there are LOADS of DUMB people that fall for that shit.

The UK movie mag Empire (best in the world, with Premiere in the US) has an article about movies that are made to fool these suckers.

I Am Omega
ALien Vs The Hunter
Transmorphers
Snakes On A Train
Pirates Treasure Island

All mimicking the more famous version. It is a very entertaining read.

a-ha!

that's what I kinda thought too...I thought they would explore that side of the story more...it seemed the infected had one leader too but nothing was ever made of it...
those things left it a lil' too open ended...

I actually hated this movie. I thought Will was great in it, but movies with (mainly) one actor don't do anything for me. Also, I am totally opposed to dogs getting injured...

my family is going to see this on sunday... we are all big will smith fans!

we went to see it today...

i think will smith is an incredibly talented actor, the movie was entertaining, however, it was not my favorite movie of his by a long shot.

that being said - its a movie that is best on the big screen nod

I won't see this movie because I refuse to see anything with Will Smith in it. It does look like it could be entertaining, though.

I should have seen this movie this weekend. We saw "The Myst" and that wasn't the slightest bit scary.

It had a lot of semi-complex themes (government, religion, human nature), but the movie was too kludge to make any of them stick out. At it's core it's a psychological thriller desperately trying to incorporate Hitchcock aspects into it, but the special affects were underwhelming as to make the flick unbelievable, and the creatures rendered were less than sinister looking.

The ending was different from the typical Hollywood ending though lol



Oh, and Thomas Jane's ass in tight levis is shown mutliple times. MULTIPLE times.



Still not a good flick.



I think I'll check out "I am Legend" some time this week.


I'm really waiting on Alien-vs-Predator-R redface

Will smith was a saucy piece of man meat in there and acted his azzzzz off. The trap was set by the infected, and I think that happened right after smith recorded in his notes that they lost all human reasoning etc. For a second I was wondering if they were chasing will cuz he had that infected chic.

I liked the movie...you didn't have to think too much, you weren't grossed out too much, and you were entertained as Will was perfect candy.

His corny ass makes it impossible for me to view him as anything other than a corny ass. Too many wise-cracking roles in films like the cringe-worthy Independence Day and Men in Black have rendered him intolerable. His scrate-awful "music" career doesn't help, either!

I agree...he's a talented actor and always presents a believable character in his work...even in some of his cornier roles, IMO...

I can't actually think of a single thing I like about Will Smith (maybe that novelty song about stealing his fathers porsche back in the day) So the idea of him doing well in a horrible movie is entirely believable to me

It is my opinion that he set the trap and forgot, he was going kinda nuts (as one would) being all alone and talking to mannequins and shit.

When he set up that initial car to catch the zombie for tests, it gave you insight that he had done this before... then when he got caught in the trap, the trap was the same way.

Plus, the zombies were already displaying no signs of human thought or planning. nod

I think the zombie set that trap. He(zombie) saw Will's character set up the exact trap to catch that one zombie. I think those zombie's were smart..and had a plan to catch him and eat him.

I was talking this scene over with a friend who saw the film last night and I have come to the conclusion that you are right. I think the one "head" zombie who witnessed the "kidnapping" of his zombie girlfriend watched how he trapped her and repeated the trapsetting with his mannequin friend as a lure.

That is one smart zombie. nod

In the end of the book, the "vampires" eventually rebuild society after the virus mutates. I think that's what the film makers were hinting at.

I just saw this movie and it reminded me waaaay to much of 30 DAYS OF NIGHT and a hundred other zombie movies. Will was great in it though.
