what is it with these movies
The Omega Man. The Quiet Earth. I Am Legend. Etc....
All these movies tease some crap about a normal guy figuring out he's the so-called "last" man alive...cool idea.....then.....
He runs around, and finds token female (hottie), and then the premise goes straight out the window. I liken it to watching something being advertised as porn, and it ending up being about plate tectonic shifts on the Pacific rim.
I still like the movies, but keep the premise straight. OR......
Is it just that nobody, even cutting-edge directors, don't want to handle such a dramatic subject, as someone actually BEING the last human alive? Begs the question. And don't tell me about how "boring" it would be. How "exciting," exactly, was this gem? I thought so.
As a side-note, I liken this entire situation to the state of most horror films made in the USA today. They make "horror" films, but just HAVE to toss in humorous crap here and there, for so-called "comedy relief." Why? If I wanted to see comedy, I would go SEE a COMEDY. Poor audience members today....can't handle real horror and drama anymore. More dumbing-down, nanny state crap.
Let the flames begin.
