    Fun movie. I like how each character thought different stuff about what happened to them, and how the one guy becomes president of the world. I also love black men in the 70's, and how they go jogging in leather pants.

    A man awakes to find himself being the last man on earth. His reactions to this rather surprising development reach from confusion, over a couple of rather humorous scenes to the early stages of madness, some of which are more believable than others. The explanation for everythin...( read more)g is rather nonsensical and once we discover he isn't alone one has to wonder if people would really act the way some characters occasionally do. However, the atmosphere is pretty gloomy and the general idea really interesting, it all makes for an entertaining movie after all. Only the solution kinda leaves you wondering what the heck was going on.

    Excellent. The last man on earth archetype never quite gets old, but here, it is handled almost flawlessly.

    Interesting take on the 'Last Man on Earth' concept. Make sure to keep watching even during the final credits as the last few seconds are mesmerising.

    Sounds quite interesting actually..

    I like the empty town but too weird for my taste. Not as good as night of the comet and/or 28 days later
  • December 5, 2008
    decent, quiet, understated little last man on earth story. no toxic mutants or vampires leftover from fallout, just a man alone, kind of losing his sense of being, feeling guilty about his survival, dressing up in womens underwear and shooting televisions with a shotgun. nicely s...( read more)hot and acted. really worth checking out.
