I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Kudos to the director for this attempt. The movie has many flaws, but I am accustomed to below par production in my line of work.In the end I was very impressed with what the director managed to do with the money he had at his disposal. Yes, the acting was weak at times, but I've seen much worse. Yes, the lighting was sometimes off and there were sound issues. But overall the production quality is good enough to know whats happening and the story is engrossing with a no holds barred approach. The acting may have not been up to par to the script, but still I enjoyed every minute of this movie.This film has many flaws but the 3,3 IMDb rating is ridiculous. At least this movie has a great story. Liked it much more than The Omega Man (with Charlton Heston) or I Am Omega (with Mark Dacascos).People act like acting and top-notch production qualities is all that matters. I would tell these people that they are hooked on eye candy and that sometimes they should really put stuff into perspective.Overall a decent 7 in my book. Two thumbs up.

Considering such a low budget it was an ambitious project. It's an amateur picture and the good effort by that standard. I gave it a 6/10 rating. I had more fun with this one than I did while watching Griff Furst's I Am Omega (starring Mark Dacascos). The escape, realization that he's not human either, Eva story- those were the things that could have been delivered better, regardless of the budget. Acting was horrible, which really doesn't make any difference- it's just that kind of picture. Overall, movie gives you a perfect opportunity to invite your friends (those dedicated freaks- if you've seen this picture or are reading comments like these, you fit the category yourself :D), buy some beer and snacks, and the fun is guaranteed. On the other hand, do not watch this with you significant other!

a doomsday virus decimates the world, and a lowly Tucson hospital worker, seemingly immune, tries to make it after the world falls apart. the remaining survivors seem to be either blind or insane. he wallows in self-pity, eventually becoming a sort of vigilante. interesting from one point of view, as there aren't many horror movies shot in Arizona that i can remember, except maybe "night of the Lepus". a mixture of "the stand", "i am legend" with a little "night of the living dead" thrown in. lots of superfluous gunplay and meaningless narration. the CGI is just awful, as is the vocal dubbing, but there's some nice cinematography. not completely forgettable as a small, independent film.

I watched the Last Man expecting a present day adaptation on a Mary Shelley novel but on a small budget and thats what i got. I also expected decent independent actors, passable special effects, decent direction and freaks that actually look like freaks.....this however I did not get. The Last Man has its good points, which are that I could get all the way through it without turning off and for the small budget spent you can see the potential that the director has with the right mentor. The problem with the Last Man is that the bad outweighs the good. The camera is shaky in the action scenes, the CGI is appalling (would have been better without it), the echoed overlayed voices are amateur, the action scenes (fights and gun battles) are about as exciting as watching paint dry, and the acting is mediocre at best. I'm not a hater at all, I'm just being brutally honest. No actually I'm being fair giving it a 4 out of 10. It was watchable but never exciting, and that is a shame because a film like this had so much potential. I love apocalyptic films and this one did have good writing (yes a positive comment). The script was interesting, especially the use of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and the message that we are all monsters, especially when we judge those that are different is one of truth that needs to be told. It is this alone that made me keep watching. Another good thing is that watching this has made me want to read the novel so I can picture in my imagination what this film could have been with a bigger budget, better actors, and better editing and camera-work. I would still like it to be independent but a film of this scale needs some cash to work with. Please someone out there give it another shot and this time make it with heart, you know like your Mum does with the cooking. That way I know it will be good.
