Ok I just came from this film and I enjoyed it very much.

What did I like about it?

*spoilers*

I enjoyed the flash backs now and then to give us an idea what had happened 3 years before the movie starts us off.

I loved the quietness of the film when he was alone in the city just with his dog.

The virus laden creatures that were once human were cgi but I think it was better that way than get real people in make-up. They were fast as hell too.

That one scene where his dog chased that dear into the dark car garage was intense. And what the hell were they all doing in that circle there anyways lol. I suppose that's how they rest in between day light till the night.

I like how he would catch them and do experiments on them to try and reverse the effects of the virus. Well it only showed one time he did this but it was pretty neat.

A few things that bothered me:

Why didn't he know that was his own trap that he ended up getting caught in? He was starting to lose his mind there so perhaps he had too much going on in his head. The sequence that followed with the mutant dogs, well they were afraid of that tiny strip of sunlight. But I just can't see it stopping a dog that was making a run at him. They'd have zipped by that light before they knew what hit them. Maybe got a burn out of it but still can't see it stopping them. I guess it helped make the scene a little more intense as he was dragging his butt back to the car while the strip of light kept getting thinner and thinner as the sun was going down.

Why his UV lights on his SUV wasn't keeping them from charging at him since that sunlight scene with the dogs was so effective.

Same with at his house.....they all charged at his UV light lamp stands not fearing them the least. I just didn't see it as sticking with the logic it started off earlier in the show with how sunlight scared them so much, they'd instantly run back and hide.

At the end there, why didn't he go into that chimney with the girl and her kid, yet just before doing so, unleash that bomb of his at the mutants. He wasn't that far off from them the way he ended up going about it. Maybe he just didn't want to take the chance.
