They weren't vampires or zombies. They were a mutated race of infected humans with increased strength and aggression. A lot of their pigments faded so they burned in the sunlight.
I thought it was good, even if all the CGI monsters looked like Grendel from Beowulf.
The book describes them as being cannibilistic(sp) vampires.
For the people who are complaining about spoiler alerts. Gee judging from the trailers he's alone at day, but when it turns night that is when the monsters appear.....hmmmmmm.....what does that sound like? Oh yeah vampires.
ALso, that is a horrible virus to make. Turn your enemies into super human monsters? WTF?
They rushed the ending, the movie could have been 20 to 30 minutes longer.
SPOILER ALERT
I also thought the vampires following him and the other two survivors home was a really cheap way to end things. I loved the first hour of it though.
I agree on the ending. It could have been streched out by 20 more minutes at the least. The majority of the movie is spent developing a strong character in Will Smith that it just seemed rushed to end that way. It was a uplifting fitting ending, but so much was lost in having those ing vampires follow him home.
As far as CGI goes, there could have been no other way. The athleticism and agility of those undead creatures could not have been done by human beings. You lose the CGI, and they're basically zombies.
But you all have to see it on Imax. Straight up BAD ASS-NESS.
They could have CGI'd the action sequences while still using real actors for the face shots.
They should have not even made the movie. Just give Will Smith 6 million dollars for nothing.
Isn't Will Smith in the elite club of actors that make 15-20 million a movie?
Edit: Found this, Forbes list of the highest paid actors and actresses.
Smith is listed at 37 million.

A couple of other sites had him at the 20-25 million mark.
Doesn't change whether the movie is good or not, just changes what he was paid to do it.

They did that already...it was called ALI.
3 hours of nothing....
ing ritch es.
Yeah. Incredible amounts of money. The list was interesting.
The CGI looked horrible. It almost seems lazy to have crappy CGI for every shot of a zombie or zombie-dog.
I always wondered if I wrote one of these super rich people and started to suck up and act like their doormat and in the end kindly ask for 1 million dollars, because since you guys are so rich, it is nothing for you guys and it would be really nice if you could give me a really really small amount of your money.
I wondered if they would give me that 1 million dollars, after all it's like pocket change from them, I'll take 10,000.
I bet you're not the only one with that thought.
And I bet they're hit with sob stories all the time looking for handouts.
Lots of them do great charity work, so it's nice to see them share the wealth that way.

Didn't see the trailers or read the book.
I enjoyed it... It was kind of short though...
So was the 'alpha' male rabid unpigmented/infected/human getting back at Dr Neville because he had taken his woman? Or was he just trying to eat him?
Why didn't the infected follow him home the first time around? The scene after he stabbed himself and shot the three infected dogs...
Watched this last night with my man and really enjoyed it. Some parts made me cry though.. and it should've been longer.
Great first hour, ty CGI. This movie takes an epic tailspin into suckitude once his dog dies. The final act of this movie sucks so bad that I Robot looks halfway decent in comparison.
Isn't everyone?
You did? I thought it looked kinda cool.
Spoilers....
I thought that it had something to do with that so called cancer cure that backfired? I didn't think that it was meant to turn humans into the wall crawlers from Resident Evil. I did like it though. Besides the fact there was this stupid girl sitting behind me who wants to question her boyfriend EVERYTIME something of question may have came up. Like the scene where he was OBVIOUSLY killing the dog, she says "what is he doing" I'm like....

You didn't answer my question, where did the virus originate? Was it from that cancer vacine?
Smith did a good job acting, but the movie okay, nothing to really rave about.
