Still resonating months later

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2008)

I saw this movie when it first came out in Australia and going in i was sceptical it would be as good as it looked, i have seen other movies that where majority one person and where boring as bats hit and i was both blown away by how good this was but also by how well the script was written and how well Will Smith played Robert Neville, so much so that months later i still think about the movie and it still resonates, one of only about two movies thats ever done that.
i wasn't expecting it to start after he was the only one left in new york and the sounds of nature set against a city that we know is traffic noise sirens and honking was eerie and so bloody effective.
as for WIll Smith in this role i think he deserved an Oscar nomination for this role, he did a brilliant job of portraying the loneliness, despair and sometime near insanity that being the only person left in New York possibly the world. And when it came to Sam and what he had to do was just heartbreaking.
this is one of those rare movies that make you think, make you wonder if you could survive like Robert Neville did, if you could cope with the loneliness and despair that comes from a situation like that
