Saturday, I went and saw the latest and greatest from Will S And I was expecting somemith. I had seen the original, Omega Man, and was curious as to what they could do with today's film technology.
Apparantly, the title I Am Boring was already taken, because they did very little to make itmore appealing to me. In fact, I would venture to say, that the original was more entertaining.
For starters, Will Smith is not believeable as a scientist. He was the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire. He may be for a younger audience, but not to me. He isn't horrible, but he's not exactly Denzel Washington when it comes to acting.
The basic premise of the movie that a cure for cancer is found, but it ends up having horrible side effects.
90% of the population is killed, and 90% of them are Darkwatchers, or something like that. Will Smith insists that it is up to him to cure the human race. But in doing so, he's the only one left in New York. So basically its a movie about him filling his time and trying to find others.
Instead of the fine opportunity for action of him avoiding the Darkwatchers, instead we see him finding dvd's.
We do see him clash, with one epic battle, but not nearly enough, and the epic battle wasn't all that epic.
At least the dog was entertaining.
I give it a 4 out of 10
