The film starts in the year of 2012 and human beings are literally extinct. Robert Neville portrayed by Will Smith is alone in New York City with his German shepherd Sam. He has a strict daily routine and never stays out after sundown. He broadcasts on all frequencies and stations at the dock everyday, looking for any sign of survivors. However, his most important mission as the sole survivor and a military scientist is to research and develop the anti-virus serum.

Will Smith is charismatic and witty as the last man on earth. When he talks to his only companion Sam, a German shepherd, the scene reminds me of Tom Hanks and his volleyball by the name of Wilson. The living dead sprang up all over the place just when I thought the film was about to move up the ladder and perhaps reveal some meaningful insights. What a letdown!

However, this film does bring up the thought for the day: What will you do if you’re the last human being standing on earth? Will you have the courage and faith to go on your life? What will your life become when you have no one to talk to? Will you like this world better when it’s quiet and tranquil for you’re all alone?

By the way, for those of you already living the isolated life by associating with no one but only talking to your dog (or your computer), you need to wake up and smell the coffee! It will do you some good if you read the novel or watch the film I AM LEGEND.
