While I thought the movie was entertaining on the whole, there were several parts that really caused my suspension of disbelief to falter and took me out of the movie. Just going to go sort of stream of consciousness here...
Hunting deer with an automatic weapon from a Mustang GT was just silly. No way New York is overgrown to that extent after only 3 years. How did Anna get her custom SUV onto the island if the military took all the bridges out? For that matter, how did the deer get on the island with the bridges out? What the hell are lions doing in North America? How are the lions surviving in the city if there's such a huge number of vampires, who apparently have no qualms about biting animals since they infected those dogs, running around at night? If Anna survived for 3 years on her own with vampires running around how does she not know to stay away from the house until the sun rises? The butterfly/God/faith thing at the end was pretty clumsy, although I didn't dislike the ending as much as it seems most people on the internet did.
Anyhoo, good popcorn movie. I may see it one more time when it comes out on DVD.

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
