I haven't read the book but I have seen the old Omega Man film with Charlton Heston. I liked that film a lot. It's kind of put me off of watching this film as I figure, the old one works, why do a remake?

That being said I preferred the 70s version of Invasion of the Bodysnatchers (the one with Geof Goldblum) to the original black and white. To be fair, that's the first one I saw, but I do think it is the better film with better acting thann the original.

Didn't stop them doing another remake (in the 90s I believe) called
"Bodysnatcher" (not too bad but not as good as the 70s one). And just the other day I saw trailers for another film called "Snatched" (or some such name) with Nicole Kidman.

what can be healed by Bob Marley and Shrek, apart from a shortage of Bob Marley and/or Shrek?

Lots of loose ends here in this film.

How were the Zombies able to climb walls?

WIll Smith was a lab scientist but was also an officer in the army.Seems unlikely.

How *exactly* does a cure for cancer [whatever that was - it was never explained] become an airborne virus ? Not explained at all.

Also Measles was mentioned too.

How did the lovely lady save will smith from the zombies and how did she know where he lived ?

If i was will Smith i would have had fun with some of those tanks and armoured cars that were around.

Great scene driving the 4by 4 around and squashing and running over Zombies that were attacking.

Bemused about the splashing of water around on steps outside the house unless the zombies have an aversion to it but they didnt seem to .

I have always fancied being in that situation and having a free roam of the entire city with no one around.

I hated this film, mainly because it scared the shit out of me.

I hate scary films. If I'd realised it was effectively 28 Days Later in New York, I wouldn't have gone to see it.

I hope South Park satirises this film in a similar fashion to Wild Wild West. "I'm a bad ass scientist memorising Shrek in a dystopic hood. Jiggy jiggy mope mope."

"How *exactly* does a cure for cancer [whatever that was - it was never explained] become an airborne virus ? Not explained at all."

I think it was designed to be an airborne virus, except a nice one, that would cure cancer. That's why she mentioned measles, they had somehow mutated it into a cure, so you could "catch" the cure. Or something like that, maybe I just totally misunderstood. Either way, the cure then mutated into the virus. I think.

Read the book over Christmas and really enjoyed it (despite the horrible bleakness of it all). Will probably go and see the film and moan about it.

It looked like Emma Thompson in the film.She was waffling on and gave a ridiculous analogy of driving a cop car .

I cant even be bothered to try and work it out and you probably have as much idea as i have.Why conduct experiments with viruses in a built up area anyway ? [backslash]

Anyway its irrelevent .We the audience dont need to know these things ! Lets get to the action !

That's the spirit!

Of course! It's the English way!

On a related note, H(onky)MV currently has The Omega Man in the sale for Â£3, brother.

Just got back from seeing it - birthday present from the better half. She thought it was boring. I thought it was boring. Had a cracking Chinese first though, so on average - good night. Now it's a bottle of wine and the last episode of the Shield (series 1) to counter act the effect of the movie.

BTW - the 'water' was to cover his scent...it's why he used it on the steps and on the blanket!
