Could have used more back story

Rating: 6/10 (20 March 2008)

I enjoyed this film but I feel like a lot of the story was left out. There could have been a lot more back story added, such as how the virus was developed & spread, Neville's dealing with trying to keep it contained, and later how he found himself being the lone inhabitant of New York City. I know it would be hard to tell the whole story in flashbacks, but this movie could have used it.
There are also some things left unexplained, such as how Neville got all that electricity (3 years after just about everybody died off, I'm sure nobody would be manning the power plants feeding the city), and how Anna & Ethan got onto Manhattan Island after all the bridges were knocked down.
This movie could have been so much longer and in-depth, but as it was I thought it was good & entertaining. If some more of the story had been added, I'd probably have rated it higher.
