a decent sci-fi thriller

Rating: 7/10 (22 May 2009)

The cure for cancer has been discovered and a genetically modified virus is the solution for our problems but it turns out that this virus is turning humans into man eating zombies and Robert Neville(will smith) is the lone survivor . Now its upto him and his dog Sam to find the cure for this disease and save mankind from extension. So we have Will Smith driving Shelby Mustang GT500 on the 'empty' streets of NYC hunting deers. We get well constructed shots of deserted NYC. The bond between Robert and his dog is amazing. The strength of the movie is its pace with well inserted flashbacks that explain the plot.Will smith is as usual good. But the script has some loose ends and is not very convincing at parts especially when the is a hint of god's intervention to save mankind. Its a worth watching once affair.
