That didn't come through for me. You'd think she'd have known about that, having survived so long and all.But that aside, what I didn't feel from this movie that I got from the book I'd read so long ago was the profound sense of loneliness Neville felt.
I didn't mind the movie makers changing coasts and moving the action to New York, didn't mind them making Neville an Army Scientist, didn't mind them making the dog a bigger deal than he was in the book, didn't mind any of those changes.I did wonder how a woman and a child could fight off the zombie-like monsters (they were vampires in the book, but I didn't mind that change so much either) when Neville who was in about a perfect a shape as a man can be couldn't do it. Although I have nothing but the greatest respect for Will Smith as an actor and believe he did an extraordinary job in this film, I found the movie wanting.
He told her drive around till it was light. So she had some light, Neville had plenty of that.
And why would she lead them to his home. The shear terror I got from Matheson's words.
It was an okay movie, but it couldn't light a candle compared to the the book.
Very Good Effects.Excellent sound and images.Will Smith when kill his dog for love and protect himself, is one of the best part of the movie.For me almost excellent.
The great thing about Amazon is that you can buy these movies for a fraction of the cost of a new one. This is a great movie. I was wanting to have a copy. They are just as good as buying a new one. Thanks Amazon.
Really enjoyed this movie.It is a relatively suspenseful movie that told an original story. Worth the watch if you are a fan of such movies (i.e. Signs)
First half of the movie really raises your expectations.Great scenes of a decaying city. And Will Smith playshis part to perfection.Unfortunately, the dialogue with his german sheppardis much better than the interaction between Will andthe female he meets toward the end of the movie.This is another one to add to my "Last Man" Movies."Last Man on Earth", "28 Days Later", "Omega Man", etc.All Good. None Great.
