The theme is all too familiar – an apocalyptic story with a zombie touch. A single military virologist is working in a 2012 zombie-inhabited infected Manhattan, trying to find a cure for a man-made virus, initially created to cure cancer, that went wild causing massive deaths, and for most remaining humans (and some animals), to go zombie. This could have been a much worst movie if it was not for Will Smith’s acting, who is able to bring some credibility into this otherwise wild tale. Yet this could have also been a much better movie if less of the zombies was to be shown… As Alfred Hitchcock could have told you, our imagination is much more powerful than any CG effect. The situation portrayed at the opening of the film reminded me of one of Robert A. Heinlein's short sci-fi stories that starts with something like: “The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door…” Now that is the way to go… But once Zombies started going haywire, I was waiting for Woody Harrelson, in his Zombieland character, to show up and start shooting… In short, the film can be entertaining, if you like the genre, but it could have been much more satisfying and smart, as occasional moments in it indicate, if the writer and director would have taken it in a slightly different direction.
