Overall highly recommended

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2007)

I saw this title in the IMAX theater. This greatly enhanced the movie and I highly recommend seeing it in this format. Will Smith's acting was top form, as always. The zombies were perfectly scary and gory. The storyline was A+. I did not expect much from this movie, but it delivered way beyond my expectations.
The premises is that Will Smith's character is the last surviving human after a viral cure for cancer turned humans into flesh eating zombies. Luckily the zombies are burned severely by the sun, so day time is safe. Smith's character, over the course of three years from the first outbreak, has developed a secure hideaway where he and his dog Samantha live. He is a scientist and is trying to develop a cure for the virus and is testing it on rats.
Smith hunts through New York for deer, but seems to be very bad at it as he doesn't catch any throughout the movie. You figure three years would have helped him gain skill at hunting. He also transmits a radio broadcast on all AM frequencies telling anyone who hears it to meet him at the pier at noon and he goes there daily.
The ending is less than spectacular, but necessary. It shows some gleam of hope. Although a friend recently commented that it could have done without the very ending, which I agree with.
Overall I highly recommend this movie and think everyone should go and see it if they have not already done so.
