It's excellent eye-candy, that when stripped to it's core, it's just a Disney movie for adults. It seems like Cameron should have spent a bit more time writing than on post-production. The story is as cliche as can be, and there are no surprises. On the other hand, Cameron is a good storyteller, so he does pull you in even when you know what's about to happen. Everyone should see it, but not for the film itself, but for the experience; kinda like going to Universal Studios.

Talk about re-inventing a genre! Pontypool is a fresh take on, not only the most cliched of all movie genres, but on modern cinema. "Less is more" is the key when talking about this excellently delivered thriller. But don't be fooled, there is huge profundity under the minimalism.
