Looking through this I wanted to see this simply for another apocolyptic Will Smith movie and it does exactly what it says on the tin. In itself it isn't exactly original in it's storyline and feels somewhat of an American take on 28 Days Later (and of the two I prefer 28 Days Later).

On its own though the film is enjoyable, primarily the interaction between one man and his dog! It creates the depth you wouldn't expect from this sort of character ineraction. The main let down is the CGI used for the creatures which seem a let down for the grand scale of the film. You can't beat an actor and make-up for authenticity but they chose the CGI route which is the main let-down.

As far as the story goes it holds the audience and isn't filled with dialogue, it relies primarily on the acting and emotional depth of the character that Will Smith conveys onto screen. This would have to be one of his better "blockbuster" "action" film performances.

Certainly one for the collection but ensure you get the 2 disc version as the ending of the theatrical version doesn't stand up to the film and the second version....well I'd advise having the freedom to choose from the 2 disc version.

Sit back and enjoy.

the best actor to fill this role is will smith and he changes what could be an ordinary film into something brilliant. the film gives out a sense of lonliness and fear. its different and i like that as it isn't a love story or a war fim, it isn't a sport comedy or gory horror. but the thing i like about it the mst is that it sends out a clear message, it is that don't mess with nature and its process as the consequences can be terminal and devastating. the story is about some scientists alter a measels virus to creats a cure for cancer, this in turn creats a virus called a KV virus that causes a pandemic that turns humans and animals into killing creatures that are very powerful and unstoppable called 'darkseekers'. but only 1% of humans are immune meaning 1% of the human race is unaffected but can still be killed by the creatuers. i wont reveal the ending but what i will say is that there is a scene where his dog called Sam gets attacked by infected dogs while she is saving robert… more »
