Plot Summary:
Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable... and manmade. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City... and maybe the world. But he is not alone. He is surrounded by "the Infected"—victims of the plague who have mutated into carnivorous beings who can only exist in the dark and who will devour or infect anyone or anything in their path. For three years, Neville has spent his days scavenging for food and supplies and faithfully sending out radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. All the while, the Infected lurk in the shadows, watching Neville's every move, waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But his blood is also what The Infected hunt, and Neville knows he is outnumbered and quickly running out of time.

what exactly do you want to be explained? Dr. creates a cure....which turns to a resilient virus....and then it jumps to the air....people start going bezerk!.....So, I would like to know, what wasn't explained? I found this movie to great!!!
I *did* feel that the movie started to fall apart when the girl and child came into the picture. In the book, the girl was actually ANOTHER form of the vampire so that's what I was expecting in the film.
The other problem I had was the goofy CG looking vampires. I would normally say that "real" looking vampires (i.e. NO CG) is way scarier than CG looking vamps. Though I heard they went the CG route to get their PG-13 rating. Would love to see the new version of this movie (with the alternate ending) without the CG mouths on the vampires. I think then it'd be a pretty solid flick.
As it stands, I agree with "J", only 6.5/10. With the new ending? Maybe a 7/10...
Smith was good. Lawrence is a terrible director though. Once again we have a director who decides to use CGI instead of real actors and it comes out looking like a Roger Rabbit nightmare. And then the 2 hacks that totally screwed up one of the best horror novels of all time. To get rid of the Ben Cortman character was ridiculous and then the rest of the changes made this a very mild and easy to forget film.
All in all, not the worst movie I've ever seen but let's just hope the NEXT time they remake it, they get a star as good as Will, a director who is 100 times better then Lawrence (and thats not saying much....did you see Constantine...yuck!), and screenwriters that will not F up something great!
the alt. version of the film is loads better!!
