Read the book then watch the film - you'll realise what a missed opportunity the film was.

Too true. The whole point of the book was utterly lost and typicaly hollywood took the name of the book and threw out everything else.

Why do they bother.

Very disappointing. I do like Will Smith but this film was rubbish. IMHO obviously.

As yes I remember now, you are quite right. Sorry, I was trying to block that horrible memory from myself.......... biggrin

Shockingly poor ending too IMHO but I thought most of the film was superb, subject to my previous caveat....

What a total pile of cack that film is.

A pretty substantial plot hole. (trap goes off, set by whom?)

Some totally unrealistic character realisation (as people have already mentioned it, the dog, he kills it singing along to a specific CD, the very next day he plays the CD to somebody who'd never heard it wihtout trace of emotion of the previous days goings on, which is pretty pathetic considering what it made him do!)

And an ending that didn't really make sense!

Other than that, top notch!

Hang on in there till 12:35 and I'll tell you.


(On the other hand, I seriously doubt it, but for some reason I'm staying up late to watch it even though i've got an early start in the morning. Like I say, I must be high or drunk or something)

11 minutes in and I'll say no. No. It is not a good film.

There were quite a few, but that wasn't one of them IMO. The lead "sick person" set the trap. He copied what Robert Neville had done to his (the lead sick person's) Mrs.

It was an OK film. Prefer the 28 series.

i was hoping they'd have the balls to show the alternative ending which at least gets close to the point of the book, but no...
