An interesting, sobering, and scary look at what could happen if something went wrong with one of the many genetic engineering experiments undertaken daily, all the more current give the H1N1 scare we are still living under.In a future that feels all too real, Will Smith is the lone sane human being still roaming the streets of New York City with his faithful four-legged companion.
From the well interspersed flashbacks we get glimpses of what happened to his family and to humanity, and slowly come to understand his plight. We also feel progressively dragged into his state of mind and the way he sees his fate and duty.
Fundamentally a Smith vehicle, he does a good job of acting and honorably carries the movie on his broad, well toned shoulders.
The movie is also quite scary at times, so it's not for the faint of heart, but I felt a little let down by the rabid humans' visual effects, which felt too fake to be taken totally seriously.
