9 Maybe not the most uplifting choice for a holiday flick, but Smith's riveting performance and tight action scenes make this a smart, gripping view of the end of the world.

6 ...at its best in the first half, when it focuses on the minutae of Smith's daily survival, rather than later on when it cranks up the horror quotient.

8 In what has been a pretty remarkable career up to now, it's this performance that fully affirms Smith as one of the great leading men of his generation.

7 ...reasonably absorbing, [though] it can be difficult to focus on the film that actually made it to the screen, instead of the many versions that didn't.

6 Remarkably eerie yet annoyingly larded with cheap horror-film shock effects...

I was really into to this movie...hook, line, & sinker. Until one particular bit of dialog about 15-20 minutes from the end completely unraveled the story for me (I won't spoil it for anyone here though).

I was constantly amazed by the rundown, overgrown abandoned environment of Manhattan. The camerawork was for the most part very dynamic & largely responsible for moving the plot along.

the history of this movie as omega man was more interesting than the movie itself.

I liked the first hour, and the first 'scary' scene, but the bad guys were lame, I don't care if Mike Patton actually did the voices for them or not. Superman and Batman: 2010!

Did little for me especially when it suddenly changes direction as if the editor cut out too many scenes.

Will Smith made this movie tolerable. Have been saying it since I saw it.. both times.

it was so sad, but i think that Will Smith did a great job and i thought that it was a great movie

this is an impressive performance. it's a clever plot, it leaves you wondering and curious. will smith earns his money on this one. much better than i'd expected and has me wondering if it's better if i see it on something than the crappy hotel TV.


Oracle  6

Starts out extraordinary and powerful and well pitched but loses such a quality as it approaches the end -- and the end is what screws it big time, which is an utterly cliche, trite rip off that only Hollywood could produce. However, Smith's performance is superb -- his best, for sure.

There were things about this movie I liked and things I just didn't. All and all I enjoyed it but didn't get the Will Smith character's behavior in some places. The overgrown city was pretty cool.
