For 2 hours just now at PS, I watched Will Smith so closely that my neck still ache till now.

The movie is tearing and I think this word fits the description for the movie because I am bored to tears. The whole movie is not exactly boring but the pace is quite slow from my point of view. One reason I can think of is that the zombies are slow. They don't look strong, or rather speedy enough. Perhaps I have stereotyped all zombies to be powerful and fast by the recent Apocalyptic movies.

Luckily, there are some interesting scenes that stir just a bit of my imagination, such as deers running about freely while lions go around hunting for them. It is irony that why didn't the lions hunt for Will Smith? Whatever the answer might be, sad to say that this movie is not exactly my cup of tea.

For more than 1 hour, I hear only Will Smith's voice, perhaps you can consider some dog barking so that it won't sound so pathetic. However, since plastic models can't sprung into life out of sudden and start talking, why didn't the remaining characters be introduced earlier. One man plus a dog show get boring pretty fast.

After criticizing so much, there are actually some good points worth taking note of. I got myself caught in my flashbacks when the credits started to roll. I see myself inside the movie, back in 2009 NY City.

I got caught up in mixed emotions. Virus mutates and becomes out of control. My loved ones are infected and died one by one, soon I will be dead too. The whole feeling is so overwhemling that I want to commit suicide in the cinema so that I won't get to see myself mutate. Luckily (What a pity), my friends woke me up. That is so frightening and exciting. But after that instant of flashback, I know I appreciate what I have now more. Sound so weird isn't it.
