I don't make a point of reading reviews, b/c most critics come across as cynical bastards when attempting to pick apart a film. I have always enjoyed these "last people on earth" type movies since I was young and read Stephen King's The Stand
Right, well I've seen it. The nightwalkers were more vampiric and less 28 Days Later. I liked that better as it seemed to make them act more sinister particularly as they demonstrated more intelligence in a well, more demonstrateable way. The lack of background music added to the atmosphere and the ability to shock when something did happen and that too was better.
The story was changed abit as it would have to be given the advances but it wasn't particulary bad. Over all it could have been longer, but Smith didn't once bring in the "Hell Naw" factor but rather took on the pain and rigour of isolation and survivial. I liked the dog as a symbol of a last connection to family and humanity.
Anyway I was stoked going in, and was very happy coming out. Except the kid behind me that wouldn't shut up.
