Above the average, good... but far from perfect or classic

Rating: 7/10 (23 December 2007)

Note: I have not read the novel and basically I comment on the movie, not on the relation of the movie to its basic source, the novel.
This comment will not contain any spoiler as I will just point out what's good about it, and what is not.
+ His best show off or not, who cares, because Will Smith acts well and is very likely to make you sympathize with him and his actions. You will feel with him and for him. He has a steady desperate look in his face expression and eyes, which is very appropriate.
+ The directing is good. It is not considerably amazing, but at least it does not fail its job.
+ Sounds are accurate, too. i.e. Sometimes you can hear heartbeats, adding tension to the movie.
+ The Plot is very interesting, and the atmosphere feels right. The movie makes you like the light much more than you might imagine.
sounds brilliant so far. but there are a few issues: - I was missing more incidents, or character development and maybe a bit more on the disease spread. An additional flashback and incident would have done the job. Basically what I try to say is: the movie is too short.

Since Neville is alone in NYC for already a VERY long time, Will Smith could act with a more hopeless, desperate face. more than he puts on.

The basic idea of the plot ending is okay, but its American signature is a cliché that I personally don't want to see in any movie. Especially in the way it comes over in this one. (it is hard to literally say what I mean, without offending other people's beliefs, so I just stop it here, about the ending.)

Conclusion: Strong points of the movie overweight the weak one's, but not enough to make this movie a very, very good one. Although, I can easily recommend it to everyone, for me it was worth watching, even though the ending was, not bad, but, a weak one. The message the movie provides is nothing new either and does not make us think for a long time, or even regret anything we did or do, but it will remind you of going on, having hope and do good things in life.
So, go to the movies and enjoy this one. You can.
