...without the religious nonsense. God still loves us. Oh really? It's batting 1,000 with his domestic violence of humans. Like a spouse beating their mate and saying, I'm doing this for you own good or you make me do it!

Anyway, the I'm Anna and this is Ethan is a gender switch on Adam and Eve and they're headed to Bethel in Vermont. Bethlehem...see? Get it?

Giant eyeroll. You can tell this is an American film because no film is repleat without mention of god and Jesus. So tired of fairytales for grownups.

Like everyone else, I praise Will Smith's performance. Back when it first came out, we didn't know what a giant... He is.

The first half is great and the scene in the bank had me in the edge of my seat with suspense.

Others are complaining about the fact that the story doesn't spell everything out. Oh come on! You don't need all of that. There's enough exposition to give you a good idea of what happened and to put two and two together. American audiences always win everything spelled out for them!

The virus went airborne so even if you weren't treated for cancer, eventually the virus mutated, became airborne much easier to transmit.

And we see with covid what it was like and how people refused to believe that it was real or to wear a mask or to take precautions. So it's easy to see how a viral infection can spread very rapidly from zero to a worldwide catastrophe.

I didn't need all those details but yes I agree the ending felt rushed and the film was pretty much ruined by the rushed ending as well as the CGI monsters.

I don't understand why they couldn't hire a hundred extras preferably acrobatic people, people who are extra bendy, thin people, people who are dancers, people who are very athletic and use them because the CGI is just awful.

Anyway I've seen this movie multiple times because I really do enjoy Will Smith's performance and the setup of the movie. And I loved the dog!
