Good Adaptation

I read the book before watching the movie and was glad I did. The book in its original interpretation would not have been well suited for the big screen. I thought it was adapted well from Richard Matheson novel. We have definitely seen plots like this in the past, "28 days later" comes to mind but still was done very originally. I thought Will Smith did good job acting with out any supporting cast, beside the dog. It could have used about 20-30 minutes more in the middle to transition from beginning to the climax. Overall, I would recommend seeing this on the big screen, the detail of the abandoned city is amazing. I saw it on the DLP HD projector, and the picture was brilliant.
