Robert Neville is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable, and man-made. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York Ci... more »ty and maybe the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague -- The Infected -- lurk in the shadows... watching Neville's every move... waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered... and quickly running out of time.« less
A nice sci-fi CGI reboot of the original Omega Man. A real shame about Smith's downfall.

The worst version of the classic Richard Matheson Novel yet
Will Smith sleepwalks through this boring and pointless film. If your idea of a good time is seeing Will Smith fight badly done cgi creatures knock yourself out. Nothing else happens. He fights the cgi abominations. It ignores the majority of the book and makes pointless changes. Cheap attempt to cash in by the filmmakers on the zombie/infected film craze (Resident Evil & 28 Days Later r the two films this movie steals from the most). Lazy filmmaking is never good and the people involved in this film appear as if they were just going through the paces. Will Smith got another paycheck seems to be his sole reason for being in it.
Check out The Last man On Earth starring Vincent Price for the BEST adaptation of this story. Even the Charlton Heston version The Omega Man did a better job.

It reminded me of that Tom Hank's movie Cast Away or whatever it was called. Lots of solitude which led to bordum. Tom lost the volleyball and Will looses the dog - at which point I decided, yep this is horrible.... Don't waste your credit. If you have a need to endulge in some Will Smith I recommend Pursuit of Happiness, heck even the MIB movies!

This movie is intense, but that intensity never really goes anywhere. You sit there and breath hard but nothing really BANG! happens.
The only time I jumped was when my brother leaned over and went "BOO!" and grabbed me. So unless you are with a bunch of annoying relatives you won't get a scream out of this movie, although it might raise your blood pressure! :)
