What's the story? Robert Neville 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.
Reasons to watch this flick: A worldwide blockbuster in true sense; a production of galactic proportions starring superstar Will Smith in a very intensive performance as Dr. Robert Neville - the only possible survivor on this planet! Had seen this one in theatres back in December when it released. The direction, the special effects, the cinematography, the sounds, everything was so perfect. Can easily be termed as one of the biggest sci-fi movies of all time. No doubt it was one of the highest grossing movies of 2007. If you miss this, then you indeed miss a Legend!
So how much do I rate it? 5/5
