Pleasantly surprised.......except

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2007)

They obviously ran out of money, or imagination by the time they turned their attention to the mutants. They looked like decent video game characters,completely unbelievable, and were one of the few chinks in the armor. The scene where they overrun Neville's house looks as if they are under the command of the same software program, and they are entirely over the top superhuman in their movements. They should have found a halfway point between what they ended up with, and the hooded albino hippies from The Omega Man. I haven't seen the movie where Will Smith lives in a bathroom with his son, so taking that out of the equation, this is the best acting work of his career. The scene with his dog....putting his wife and daughter on the copter is lump in the throat stuff.
