When is the new Batman out? The last one was ace apart from the Batman voice

I did D/L it recently.

It was too reminiscent of 28 Days later....

However it was a lot more creepy than the 28 days......

Will Smith is simply amazing..... He does most of the movie alone and I think that it's a lot harder than it looks to carry a movie alone.

Kudos to Will Smith!

He's come so far from that little fluorescent wearing Fresh Prince!

i also didn't get why he was trying to shoot deer. was he hunting for food? were they zombie/vampire deer? for sport? did he just hate deer?

Fresh meat...perhaps

or maybe he was trying to capture a larger animal to test his serums...

I thought he set up the trap and forgot about it because he's gone loopy.

Fred?!? What the hell are you doing out here?!?

Dog was the best part of the movie.

It was good until that chick showed up. Then the movie turned to pure doggy doo-doo.

I saw it recently and - as someone said above - thought is was a potentially great film that turned out to be sub-par.

As for hunting deer, I agree that he was looking for fresh meat. Remember how happy he was to find tinned salmon and Spam in that apartment? Protein would probably be in short supply after a short time, unless he was willing to boil up some post-apocalyptic 보신탕.

A few complaints/questions, though:

* Was the injection of religion (by the woman who shows up and saves him) really necessary? It didn't seem to add anything to the story.

* The survivor's colony is located in Vermont because, supposedly, the Dark Seekers can't tolerate the cold winters. I've spent some cold winter days in NYC, though, and I can vouch for the fact that it gets mighty chilly there, too, so how'd them zombie-vampires survive in that environment?

* If it was necessary for Will Smith to sleep in the bathtub - rifle in hand - at the beginning of the film, why was it OK to put the little kid to sleep, alone, in the bedroom at a later point?

Just asking.

Worth seeing in a dark theatre because you need to be distraction-free to get into the premise, not because there's a lot going on, but to appreciate the way the story develops. Clicking pause for a pee break or chat with friends is going to rob you of the experience. This is a film for the theatre.

All I knew about the movie going in was that it had Will Smith whose movies I almost always enjoy. I was pleased to see that the film was more of a drama than a zombie or action film, that its focus was more on the main character and the situation he found himself in. I can see why as an actor he took the role: it's got some substance as a character study. And as an audience member I felt engaged with the scenario, imaging what I'd be like to have something like that happen; there was a reality to it, a resonance that comes from the nice and slow pacing to the film. But the ending did come a bit quick and wasn't wholly satisfying.
