    Hehehe well, it's not like the book hasn't been out for 50 years, and two movies already made from it.. ;)

    I think the cat was out of the bag a long time ago. :D

    Can't wait to see it. I really liked the Heston version, warts and all, and read the book ages ago. I'm just sorry Ridley Scott didn't get to do it.

    I can spot at least a handful of differences between the book and just the trailer...

    It looks like it's going to be awesome whether it follows the book pretty closely or not though.

    So... the movie was nothing like the book. I liked it anyway, but if you're going and are expecting it to follow the book, don't bother.

    Well if you go to see an action flick, just go rent the Omega Man (the original movie with Charlton Heston). This movie is deeper and gives a better view of the anguish and pain it would be like to be alone. I thought it was a nice movie and nicely done.


    I recommend it...Oh and the DARK KNIGHT trailer was awesome!!! :D

    that movie sucked. the cgi was good until the zombies showed up......it's hard to make a movie with ONE character. i gotta give them credit for that

    Didnt' think it sucked, but I'm not a fan of too much CGI either. I didn't like the CGI animals or zombies. The zombies were a total rip of off The Mummy.

    saw it on IMAX. Good stuff. Smith played the role really well and the movie did an admirable job of portraying a man who feels all alone. A couple of scenes were particularly brutal.

    Cgi was subpar. They should have stuck with human actors for that.

    Also, dark knight feature was awesome. Ledger will make a great joker.

    Saw it last night. I felt like it was just missing "something," not sure what. The first half is great, but I thought the second half coud've been better.

    movie was going on a great pace, but the ending fell really flat. best part of the movie was just watching how he survived by himself. will smith's performance was awesome though the writing and plot was somewhat weak.

    i've heard that from a few people. first half great...2nd is lacking. And the ending was weak. Oh, and that the CGI blew, which I don't quite understand because with such a "major" film, you'd think they would do better
