It was a great movie.  not really what i was expecting but it was still really good.  Will smith is probly one of my favorite actors!  I got to see it at an IMAX theatre!

i don't know how he could say that the zombies have total social de-evolution.  that zombie appeared at the door and pretty much said in zombie talk "you took my bitch, imma kill you" 

then that dude pretty much had it out for smith the whole movie, smith got the last laugh though.  went down like a soldier.

he doesnt kill himself because he still believes that he can cure the disease. An remember in the en of the movie, when that latina chick was like come with us, he said that this was his fault, that NY was ground zero, and he had to cure the disease.

Well besides that, the movie was so sick, it was really suspensefull, and it was so weird how surreal it was. It really had me on the edge of my seat, an I was really surprised at how bad of a shot Will smith is.

Its very hard to impress me when it comes to movies but this was one good movie. the acting, plot, and suspense throughout it was amazing...best movie i have seen in a long time. my only problem with it was i dont know how the women and her kid got to manhaten with a car.

And to anyone who says the ending was bad....ur wrong because if it ended any other way it woulda sucked and if it had gone into what happened after the antidote was found it would have just dragged on instead of having a powerful ending that left the audience talking about it when they left theatres.

Good movie...I would have like another 30 - 60 min going more in depth about how he got to the present day and the evolution of the virus and zombies. I remember seeing the Omega Man (Old movie with charlton heston based off of the same book) when i was a kid and I was expecting it to be more like that butit had a good amount of differences. Either way still a good movie, definitely worth my time and money.

Something weird I noticed... why didn't they just use a helicopter from the navy ship to fly to VT? Seems kind of dumb. And he could have just stayed on the navy ship and been pretty safe.

But it was a really good movie apart from some small stuff.

I thought it sucked. I LOVED the dog though. They really should have gone more in depth on how the virus spread. I mean I know how it happened and everything, but they should have laid eveything out.

And WTF? She knew who Damian Marley was, but not Bob? Where has she been for the past 20-30 years?

i just got back from seeing it, and the movie was great except for the fucking ending. it just seemed like it ended wayyyy to quickly, like in 5 minutes it was over. i couldn't believe it. but it was pretty bad ass how he died. and also after sam died and he fucked those things up was sweet too.

horrible movie, classic example of a nicely written storyline and concept, completely fucked and exploited to keep the american attention span satisfied.

If you want to see a movie that represents a creative idea of society crumbling from an epidemic, see children of men, or read a book.

Fairly poor movie. The mental breakdown portion was unconvincing and uncreative. They also copped out many times on the story line by introducing new important aspects for no apparent reason.

I was not at all impressed with it. It was short, not to the point, and pretty basic. Nothing too interesting happened (except when Sam got lost) and you were left wondering at the end. And I agree on the ending, it was like, "That's it...?" Will Smith's acting was good, but other than that, it was a bummer.

great movie, cant imagine seeing it in IMAX. They coulda gone into more detail though, it had the capabilities of a braveheart if they wanted to extend it, Will Smiths acting was unprecedented though

I thought it was really good actually. It's one of the very few movies i've come away from thinking "That was worth it".

I'd never seen the old movie or read the book so i didn't know what to expect. But Will Smith's acting was amazing and Sam was awesome. Also the final fight scene is badass.

I didn't like the book much, but it might be because i read it after i saw the movie.
That alternate ending was kinda meh.
