Usually in your typical OTS the story or a clue to the story is almost revealed right away. But not in this one. Unconventially, it takes its time to uncover the story to its anticipating audience, but that is what I personally like about it, it doesn't reveal why the city has gone to ruin and keeps you in suspense. Will Smiths character acts disrespectably towards his surroundings and his safety. This is not what we would usually see straight away and it hits the audience hard because of its insensitiveness.
No non-diagetic underscore is playing discreetly beneath, which is what we would expect to hear, making the audience feel even more tense and uneasy, expecting something dramatic to happen.
Finally, and simply, there is nothing that is interrupting the movie and OTS, for example who it is directed by or who the main actors and actresses were or even the title of the film! This must have been hard because of how the film was so eagerly anticipated, and obviously the director wanted to have some credit for it, but had to swallow his pride and just appear at the end of the movie.
