"One really incredible thing about this movie is the post-apocalyptic images of New York, which are nothing short of amazing - far, far, far more realistic then anything seen in the Omega Man and much more realistic then I expected. Three years of abandonment has left a desolate New York that is well on its way to being reclaimed by nature with cracked streets covered in foliage forcing its way through. While the stunning landscapes may be a testament to how far CGI has come, the CGI monsters are a testament to how far they have yet to go. The monsters were frightening, but they looked more like something out of a video game then anything real."

Good review, Finn, I had forgotten about it, since I was planning to see it on DVD. But what I highlighted is what destroyed the movie for me- and I TRIED to like it...but bad lookin' infected + having them not talk, but able to rig up a trap?
In Omega Man they were mad, but there was thinking behind it, also, they were less dangerous to Neville in OM, yet he was so much more well-prepared than Will's newer version in the face of an Orc-level attack...

On the whole, the script is what makes the difference for me, OM's being the superior one IMO.

I wasn’t the least big convinced by the Infected in the Omega Man, but the Omega Man was pre-CGI and I’m willing to give them more technical leeway.

Smith, in my opinion, excelled as an actor in this role. He wasn’t melodramatic, but very subtle and very realistic. And the way he approached the character added a lot of plausibility to the story.
