A well crafted, excellent movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2008)

A stunning performance from Will Smith who seems to improve with every new movie. This gritty, lonely film is essentially a remake of the Omega Man which starred Charlton Heston. I went into this movie (having seen the preview) expecting good things and was not disappointed. A well produced, beautifully photographed post apocalyptic nightmare is shown from the eyes of the one man who is left alive following the mutation of a virus that was originally devised to immunize against cancer. Will Smith plays the tortured character extremely well and and delivers one of his best performances. The tension is apparent all the way through the movie and the viewer really felt for him, struggling alone in this nightmare world. A great movie.
