Great but Very sad

Rating: 8/10 (26 November 2009)

In my eyes this movie is probably one of Will Smith's best roles ever with The Pursuit of Happiness being the other. The scale of this movie is unbelievable, when he is driving around New York in the opening scene it really shows the scale of it, the emptiness of it.New York is a very big place and so far this is one of the few movies that has managed to show that on screen. It starts with a very nice scene of him and his dog Sam going around New York during the day. It moves on to where they are at home eating dinner and washing up, but soon it turns to night and the whole hose is put on Lockdown, the shutters are closed, all the doors are closed and will and Sam get to the safest place they can........the bathtub. As they sleep you can hear the noise of the infected outside the house they're in and the terrified look in will's eyes is very believable. This just really gets the movie going, it shows exactly what happens every day for them. As the story progresses we lose a beloved member of the cast.......Sam. Sam gets bitten by an infected dog and will brings her back to his lab and tries to inject her with the cure, but as he holds her he finds out that the cure he picked doesn't work on dogs and we lose Sam as a character. This scene had me in tears the whole way through and has me in tears every time i watch this film. As it continues will goes crazy from the depression and nearly gets himself killed until a fellow survivor saves him. They returned to the house and tried to get away from it by hiding in the lab but the infected got in, will gets the fellow survivor and her daughter to hide in a safe and will cocks a grenade and blows himself and the infected up. The woman and daughter get out the next day and find a safe zone free of infected and full of other survivors. This movie is well worth the watch and hopefully it will move you just as it has moved me. Thank you.
