Is Will Smith

QUOTE
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.

The teaser looks pretty good, no bad one-liners and a sense of desperation biggrin.gif

Also, this is made by the guy from Constantine (Francis Lawrence)

Both Resident Evils sucked big time.

I dunno! I like the first 2 RE's - 3rd was a flop!

Well each to their own opinion

Number three is not out yet?
JuCa
Oiy, seems like I am always resurrecting my own threads a year later tongue.gif

Anyhow, gave this bad boy (hoho) a good old fashioned spin and turned out to be mediocre.

Good

Will Smith gives excellent desolate performance
You can see where the budget went to (minus baddies)
Darker than I expected (Grenade bombing? His wife & child blow up?)
Some parts were pretty intense

Bad

Somehow they couldn't focus their budget on the baddies
Why did doggy die sad.gif

I didn't have a problem with the bad guys though (their visual side) which so many people seem to have problem with, they could've improved upon it though. From what I've read, they first tried putting guys into costumes but it just didn't look as convincing or frightening (or so they say). I'd give it a 7/10, it made me feel pretty depressed and bad for the sake of Will Smith and I sure wish I ain't in that scenario.

Give it a go, but do not expect an instant classic

I thought the "why did" part was quite intense and a good twist in the story line.... lol was sad though, especially how it went happened and then him having to.... well ya know....


I didn't like the end, he shoulda miraculously survived IMHO :-) ....
Paul
then watch the alternate ending, its "different" to say the least
Gitano
What alternate ending?
Paul
the movie was filmed with 2 endings, test subjects "preferred" the original, I preferred the other
JuCa
the original is where he blows himself up with the grenade right?

If so, what is the alternate ending? (I got the DVD but I am just too lazy)
Paul
the creatures let him live, they take the girl he was working on and see that he was trying to save them, him and the other woman leave and drive off together

You would think that is an ending people would rather see...Luckily they kept with their ending seriously, blowing Will Smith up was unexpected
