Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2008)

Francis Lawrence directs this post-apocalyptic science fiction film based on a Richard Matheson novel. Will Smith plays Robert Neville, a virologist that fears he is the last man on Earth after an airborne virus kills 90% of the planet's human population. He is at ground zero, his New York apartment and lab. Just over 9% of those infected with the deadly UV radiation have turned primal and aggressive and roam the cluttered streets of NYC and Neville is forced to hide in dark places during the day. He keeps trying to find a cure for the virus. His wife and daughter have been evacuated and it appears they have died in a helicopter crash during the chaos. Neville is by his lonesome except for his faithful dog Samantha. He feels he can find a promising treatment for the virus with a derivative of his own blood. The brave scientist is almost killed if not for being rescued by and pair of immune survivors on their way north. Anna(Alice Braga)and her young son(Charlie Tahan)try to convince Neville to travel with them to a survivor's camp in Vermont. The three are attacked by a group of infected and are trapped. Will they survive? Better yet, will mankind be saved?
