Anyway, the book was more satisfying with its take on the "science" of vampirism, and the ending was more honest and creative. (The movie ended the way you think the book is going to end but doesn't.)

What the movie does surprisingly well (and this is a testament to Will Smith as an actor) is capture the arc of emotions Neville experiences in his horrific situation. The book takes you there, too, but reading it makes Smith's performance all the more impressive.

Well. I didn't expect to be reviewing the film here, as well, but there you go.]]>
