This is a 2007 American post-apocalyptic drama directed by Francis Lawrence, based on Richard Matheson's 1954 novel of the same name. It is the third film adaptation after 1964's "The Last Man on Earth" and 1971's "The Omega Man." Will Smith plays the US Army virologist Robert Neville. In New York City, a virus has wiped out most of mankind, leaving Neville as supposedly the last human and others as nocturnal mutants. Neville is immune to the virus, which was originally created to cure cancer. He works to create a remedy while defending himself against the hostile mutants. Although the visual effects are superb, the story moves tiringly in a snail's pace within the first hour.
