Description: New York City, 2012. Robert Neville (Will Smith) gets up every morning, does his exercises, eats breakfast, listens to music, takes his dog Sam out for walks, and goes out to pick up supplies. There is nothing that appears unusual in Robert's life except that he is, as far as he knows, the only living human being on the planet. He and Sam are entirely alone, and have been for three years since a virus, originally created to cure cancer, killed 588 million people and "changed" the ones who survived. Cast Includes: Will Smith, Alice Braga, Willow Smith
MPAA Rating: Rated PG-13 for violence, terror and disturbing images.
The film's plot was as loose as Paris Hilton's underpants (when she wears them). Speaking of women's underpants, you don't see any in this film... Although Alice Braga does show up near the end of the film - And suddenly the next day she's walking around wearing Will Smith's shirt! I think something was cut out of the film. Hmmm? Oh right - Was it good? Pretty nifty visual experience. Thre are a lot of subtle things in the movie that keep you looking. For example: Will Smith's apartment is full of rare artwork... but it's never brazenly shoved in our faces. Overall, a good popcorn flick for the holidays. Thank you Will Smith for rescuing us from more Golden Compass or Wonder Emporium crap.
