...Will Smith's da man............

Rating: 6/10 (19 December 2007)

Will Smith is very good in this movie and he really knows how to pick his projects. It's mostly just HIM this time around and he does a fine job as the (nearly) sole survivor of a cataclysmic biological event, who is beginning to succumb to his inescapable loneliness. He has really grown in his craft. The stark New York City setting is great as is the back story, told in flash back form. The unfolding of the story was pretty much what I had expected, remembering the Charlton Heston version, and it has been updated with modern CGI effects. Over all I think it was pretty good, however, NOT worth the regular $8.50 admission price, but I would highly RECOMMEND it as a decent DVD rental, or budget theater outing.
