Synopsis

Robert Neville is a scientist who was unable to stop the spread of the terrible virus that was incurable and man-made. Immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and perhaps 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.

Starts promisingly, leading to disappointment.

I read the book some years ago and was intrigued to see what they'd do with it.
The first 3/4 of the film are interesting, lively and entertaining, enough so that I didn't mind the initial divergence from the book and was looking forward to how they might alter the rest of the story. Unfortunately, whilst the early alterations are fine, the latter part of the film really just falls apart because of the changes. You're given the feeling that they were rushing to get finished, with all the careful ground work of the first part of the film thrown away in a rushed and cobbled together ending.

A bit disappointed with how this film unravelled. Definitely more hype than was actually contained within.

empty streets...

Well it's definitely better than The Omega Man. Still, as an adaptation it's bound to disappoint the fans of Richard Matheson's novel by the end. The first hour or so certainly keeps you watching, with the scenes of an abandoned New York charting somewhere between 28 Days Later and the godawful Vanilla Sky in 'empty streets' movie chart. Will Smith is watchable as ever - especially as he's the only (human) actor on screen for the vast majority of the running time. Overall it's not bad as a piece of Friday night entertainment but in terms of adaptation I'd stick with Vincent Price.

I was expecting a bit more from this than it act…

I was expecting a bit more from this than it actually delivered. Will Smith's acting is good, and his impending derangement as the last person on earth entirely believable, but unfortunately the CGI is fairly poor and not well blended with the background which does spoil the illusion somewhat. And although the story-line is reasonable, it's quite different to the book, and the ending is typically hollywood cheese where they think you can't cope with what's supposed to happen. Overall about 3/5.
