A letdown

Rating: 4/10 (6 April 2008)

I watched this movie twice. I first watched it in the cinema but wasn't blown away by anything in this movie. I decided to watch it a second time after my friend told me it was good and when I did, all the mistakes started presenting itself.
The story revolves around a military scientist Robert Neville who is immune to a mutated virus meant for cancer. This virus is airborne and anyone who comes in contact with it will become a blood thirsty zombie. New York city has been sealed off due to the spread of the virus and the number of zombies in it. However Neville decides to stick around the deserted city in search of a vaccine for the virus to save mankind.
Cons:
Will Smith acting reminds me of when he acted I robot. Similar character and dressing as well as attitude, which is probably why I felt it was a reminiscence, nothing special.
The zombies and animals look very animated as like it was in a video game. Badly executed! I mean come on its 2007!
Most of the film involved him walking around, trying to find food and in his house though there are times where he worked in the lab. The zombies didn't appear until later part in the movie.
The ending was too rushed.
Pros:
The only good thing about the movie is the city itself which was clearly isolated and deserted.
