By day he scours the city for food and supplies while sending out desperate radio messages in hopes that someone might respond, and by night he attempts to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus by experimenting with his own blood. But time is running out for Neville as the legions of infected watch his every move from the safety of the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

4. Ice Age (2002)Watch Video

A team of "sub-zero heroes" band together to save a human infant in this ice agedigitally animated feature from Oscar-winning director Chris Wedge, whose unique lighting software (called "Ray Tracing") sets his visual style apart from earlier CGI efforts. Twenty thousand years ago, the Earth is overrun by freezing temperatures in an Ice Age that is sending all manner of critters scattering in the path of encroaching glaciers. When a lost human infant is discovered, an unlikely quartet of misfits forms to return it to its mother: Manny, a depressed woolly mammoth Ray Romano; Sid, a fast-talking sloth John Leguizamo; an acorn-crazed squirrel named Scrat (Wedge); and the devilish saber-toothed tiger named Diego Denis Leary. Before they can complete their mission, the reluctant compatriots will brave pits of boiling lava, dangerous caverns of ice, and even a traitorous plot within their midst.

5. Ice Age 2 (The Meltdown)Watch Video

Those CGI prehistoric critters from Ice Age are back in this inevitable sequel where Global warming is causing a meltdown of the ice caps. It has nothing to do with greenhouse gases, though; this is happening thousands of years ago, and it’s putting the animals who live on the ice in peril. Mannyice age 2, a mammoth, Diego, a sabre-tooth tiger and Sid, a sloth, are among those attempting to escape from the floods. Manny, who thinks he’s the last surviving mammoth, is surprised to meet Ellie, a female mammoth who was raised by possums and thinks she IS a possum. The animals are threatened by the nasty creatures who inhabit the rising waters….Meanwhile, Scrat, a squirrel, continues his frustrated efforts to hang onto an acorn. Inevitably, the freshness of the original ICE AGE, which was released four years ago, is diminished in this sequel. Carlos Saldanha has replaced Chris Wedge as director, but the formula is much the same, though this time there aren’t any human characters in view. The funniest character is still the squirrel, the only character without a voice, whose antics are very much in the tradition of classic animated films. Actors Ray Romano, Denis Leary and John Leguizamo provide the voices for the three friends, and Ellie is given the distinctive tones of Queen Latifah. The film is distinguished by some fine animation but a routine storyline. Apart from the occasional delightful scene, like the one in which a flight of ominous vultures sing “Food Glorious Food”, ICE AGE 2 is rather ordinary.
