Looks like a pretty good movie. I've always enjoyed his movies. Have to say my fav Will Smith movie is Pursuit of Happiness.

The book is really fuckin' great. Even if you are not a big reader of horror or a big reader at all I HIGHLY recommend the book by Matheson. It is pretty short, but VERY good and freaky and insightful at the same time. Stephen king sites it as the book that made him want to be a horror fiction writer.

 

The Omega Man was the first attempt at trying to make this great story into a film. As I read the book I kept thinking to myself that it could make a GREAT film if done right. Then, when I was telling a friend about the plot they told me about Omega Man... I rented it and thought that it was terrible. I am hoping that this one is better. The only problem is that the Neville character really needs to be a gritty, bitter and dealing with GREAT inner struggle… can Will Smith pull that off??? Not sure. I am not as big a fan of his as some of you, but though he did a pretty damn good job as Ali, so maybe this will be a good role for him. It is the type of character that, if truly acted according to the novel, could easily earn him a best actor nomination (unless they decide to make the movie too “action packed” and sensationalized.

 

Regardless, I am very curious and will go see it.

 

Once again all… read the book before you go… you won’t be sorry. It is a fun read.

The reviews are in, it was fucking amazing, sorry, pardon my French.
 
Definitely a must see movie. I actually went out last night in a soon to be snow storm to go see this movie, it was amazing. Will Smith was terrific, the storyline was smart, entertaining and had you scared shitless most of the time and also times that had me a bit tearful.
 
Will Smith is in such amazing shape for this movie, I guess he needed to be to sell you for the movie being he had to stay in shape to kill those rabie infested humans.

I watched about a half hour of this movie the other night...
 
It remined me of Castaway, he was just talking to himself the first half hour, it was really lame. I don't know if it gets better, but from what I have watched so far, it sucked.

I enjoyed it.  Not the best movie I have ever seen nor Will Smith's best work.
 
Overall I was entertained but this is not one I will have to have on DVD.

I watched it in IMAX last night and it was pretty intense.  I didn't realize it was supposed to be a horror movie till it started and my nerves were on quite a ride..  I'm still picking my girlfriends nails out of my arms!


It reminded me of when SARS was going around.

I watched this at Imax about an hour ago and holy was it ever intense. Like previously mentioned it had the Castaway feeling to it in te beginning.
 
I love how it ended though.

No way on the Batman rental comment.  I think you have to see it on the merit of the last batman movie.
 
The last Batman ranks right up there with all the Superman stuff.

I totally agree Broc.. I can't wait for that to come out in the IMAX.  I definitely think it's one for the big screen.

The new batman trailer looks sick. Can't wait for it to come out.

I saw I am Legend on IMAX last night and let me tell you... IT SUCKED DONKEY BALLS. It was a waste of money and the plot/storyline sucked. I don't care what anyone says. I don't understand how anyone could think this was a great movie. After an hour into the movie I was sitting there saying to myself "Damn this movie is finally starting to get sick" and then 25 minutes later the movie ends. Give me a break. Its like the guy who wrote the movie was writting a 5 page paper and when he got the 4th page he realized he was only half way through what he wanted to write but only had 1 page to finish it off and rushed everything. If the movie was 2 hours or a little longer it could have been a much better movie.

I will rate it a C.
