People got infected through the supposed cure for cancer - it mutated into a deadly virus which was spread through the air.
His family died when their helicopter collided with another evacuating helicopter that was out of control due people panicing from the explosions.
The explosions were the bridges out of Manhattan Island being destroyed in an attempt to contain the virus.
Tell me, please.

How did the doctor survive? And why did they shoot the bridge? Also how come it's the whole world?Quote:

SPOILERS BELOW:
they shot the bridge to stop people leaving manhattan which is an island in new york - the virus started there, so they did it to try and keep all the infected people on the island... obviously it didnt work (people can use boats/swim etc)
the whole world is infected as the virus could travel in the air, and over time i assume all the air on the earth had the infection, so you got infected while breathing..

Thanks Borgeman :)

They destroyed the bridge so that people wouldnt be able to leave the island and spread the virus. This obviously failed as the whole world got infected. The virus may have spread to birds and insects and been transmitted overseas through water supplies - I don't think it was ever explained fully.
Yeah, what Borgeman said. :P
Terrible remake of a movie in my opinion. Absolute trainwreck. Though it did get me to jump once or twice.
Are you referring to first movie adaption, The Omega Man or the book?
I liked the beginning where he is hunting in the Mustang GT. It goes steadily downhill from there. There were a couple of other good scenes tho - like when he sees Fred.
I dunno, I liked the movie quite abit, I've never seen or even heard of the "first" movie or the book.
First movie adapation. I agree that at the start its kind of cool. I like the shipyard scene but it drags out so predictably and that ending is so non-sensical.Quote:

benben: don't quote text that's been "spoiler tagged" as it undoes the spoiler tagging. Be considerate of others who don't want the story spoiled for them (even though this is a remake of an old b&w movie with Vincent Price based on an even older book by Richard Matheson).

I've seen "The Last Man On Earth" (it was recently shown on Channel 31) but I haven't seen I Am Legend. I've heard that the Will Smith movie is more faithful to the original novel.
Hated the movie.
Love the book but it's non Hollywood ending would never make it to a Will Smith movie.
