Unfortunately, they should have tipped me off and changed the title to "I Am DVD..wait until then". I read reviews before going and thought it might have potential.
This movie actually bored me in parts. The premise, from a great old Charleton Heston movie, "The Omega Man", is really good. A lone intelligent man struggles to survive in a world turned upside down and restart the human race. The opening parts are interesting in how they set up the potential end of humanity, then it just gets dopey. Will Smith manages to make the "man's best friend" thing between a guy and his dog and turn it into a bad Lifetime Network love story. You start caring more about the rabid zombies...they were better actors.
If you're a Dad and want to take your kids under 13, they might like it. Adults who expect something like a plot, acting, and and characters you invest some emotion in, will think this is 2 hours of watching a video game.
