As soon as that woman and her kid arrived it was lame but the first half was promising.

I thought it was quite a short film tbh. Disagree with Resident Evil series being better they are utter pish.
She got him out using a UV light on the infected as you see a light shine in and the alpha male legs it. Im pretty sure it wasnt her son too

I love this film. Will Smith is one of the best actors around. Total genius.

I enjoyed the film, my main annoyance was why didn't Neville just throw the bomb at the monsters and then jump in the little hatch with Anna and Ethan before it exploded? Then he could have survived as she said there was room for him.

This isn't true at all.
The thing with the US system is that apart from NC-17, it's guidance only. You can take a child of any age to watch an R-rated film as long as there's an adult with them. PG-13 is just guidance that it may not be suitable for under 13s, but anyone can go in. That's why our 12A rating is closest to PG-13; it specifies an actual age but is guidance only.
12A has been around for roughly five years, I think.
R in the US is equivalent to 15 or 18 classifications here. Notice how few releases get an 18 certificate these days, but many of them will have been rated R in the US.
R18 is only really used for adult films over here, and that's not always the case for NC-17 in the US.

I really enjoyed it and thought it was great for the first three-quarters. It then lost something when
and that random woman rocked up.
If the cure was
then he could have discovered this by
with it. Then there would have been no need for the pointless woman and child.
Sam died
If the cure was
his own blood

Tears were streaming down my face; I had to overcome the urge of making those hiccuppy sounRAB as I cried.
The film, at least during the first three quarters, was successful in conveying the loneliness of the main character. I was able to develop such empathy for him, I was totally distraught by the time that scene occurred.

It's a film that I want to see at the cinema, rare for me, I know.

Partly because it was his one chance to off them all, he had to make sure it exploded in their miRABt or at least right next to the main bad dude (so the others would founder without a leader as the main bad dude was the only one with any intelligence at all). Couldn't risk them kicking or bashing a thrown grenade aside and it only taking out one or two minor bad dudes.
And partly because I think he was just fed up of the whole thing once he lost the dog. He didn't want to go on any more. He was obviously still really annoyed at losing his wife and kid even three years on, so once the dog was gone, just wanted to end it all.
(And partly because Bint and Brat were annoying as hell so when thinking if he wanted to jump into a confined space with them he thought "Aw HELL NO!"
)

Yes, I did understand what happened with the light. I'm talking the physical aspects of a petite lady dragging a man the size of Will Smith into the car, then up the stairs to his apartment door ( he again lost consciousness once he had given his address and clearly did not regain until the morning). Regardless of whether the boy was her son or not, she still had the responsibility of ensuring his saftety. It was stated later in the film that the zombies had followed her car home. Surely she couldn't have possibly covered all angles with UV lights and managed this task whilst keeping the zombies away from all three of them?

You do realise its the first part of a series of three books by Philip Pullman?
You are a scientist who has just discovered a cure for the virus and has been trumpeted as the only man capable of stopping it. As far as you're aware there may not be a qualified scientist left in the world capable of making sure the research is put to good use.
Do you..
a) Get in the hatch with the nice lady chucking out a grenade before slamming it shut and then leaving with said lady and son. Heck, even if this sanctuary doesn't exist (and even if it does who said there would be scientists in it) you can always rebuild the lab in daylight hours elsewhere. Bottom line: staying alive will mean your work hasn't been wasted.
b) Needlessly blow yourself up in a heroic fashion unsure of whether said explosion may kill aforementioned lady and son by bringing the house down on them destroying the blood sample in the process. Blowing stuff up is cooler than a) even if it undermines the fact that you're the only guy left who can save mankind.
Hmm, decisions...
Oh and if millions of people bled out and the dark seekers don't wear clothes much why was there no blood and clothes on the streets of New York? And wouldn't disease be rife?

As for the film (spoilers ahead)...
I thought it was a decent movie, done quite well, and Will Smith was good, but in the end it was a bit too formulaic and typically Hollywood. I really enjoyed the first half, and then I felt the quality did decline. Particularly during the final third, I felt there were plenty of opportunities to take the film in unexpected and brave directions, but these were all avoided in favour of a rather predictable storyline.
The addition of two new characters right near the end was, I felt, a mistake, though there was a really nice touch when Smith's character, just for a second, saw his own family standing there. I quite liked the faith vs science argument, but when it turned out there actually WAS a survivors' colony (with the woman having been told about it by 'God') it simply beggared belief.
I felt it would have been a much more powerful ending if Neville had found the cure only to be killed by the mutated people. Instead, it was typical Hollywood scmaltz.
(I should point out that I haven't read the original book and so don't know how the story turned out orignally.)
