Often surprising in its focus on loneliness and loss, this thoughtful, eerie, and restrained sci-fi horror film provides a parade of startling visuals, but never allows special effects to overcome the human element. Smith, in a strong performance very different from his usual persona, is Robert Neville, the lone survivor in a New York City where streets are overgrown and deer gambol among deserted automobiles. Following an epidemic, the Earth's population has been turned into an army of nocturnal zombies. Immune to the virus, military scientist Neville searches for a cure in his Washington Square townhouse. Haunted by visions of his family leaving quarantined Manhattan two years prior, he drives through the city with his German Shepherd, Sam, by day and barricades his home from the monsters nightly. But when Anna (Alice Braga)--another immune stranger-finds him, they will have to fight the onslaught twice as hard. Akiva Goldsman and Mark Protosevich's emotionally-charged script showcases the charisma of Smith, who commands the screen alone for most of the picture (aside Abbey, a talented German Shepherd). Director Francis Lawrence (CONSTANTINE) uses music minimally, wisely allowing the eerie cityscapes to remain mostly silent. The set pieces, including an overgrown, deserted Times Square and a lion hunting a deer in the Flatrion District, are goosebump-inducing moments of stark beauty. Though some may question the rendering of the monsters in CGI instead of using actors, it does allow them to be frighteningly acrobatic. A chilling and effective adaptation of a horror classic, I AM LEGEND is also a thought-provoking piece of Hollywood filmmaking.

Report this review Review created: 07/09/08 by: tishastoehr ( 9 ) I absolutely love Zombie movies and I knew this was a must-have before I even saw it. I was not disappointed with this movie. I like the fact that it portrays more of what the world would be like if 90%+ of the living population was gone (Animals roaming the cities, everything overgrown, etc). I suggest this movie to everyone that likes Zombie films and also to anyone who needs to see HOW to equip your house in case of a Zombie outbreak ;) Review ID: 10000000007912041 Was this review helpful?

The rests, mutated thanks to a virus created by us humans. This Sci-fi movie is very well presented. The Theatrical and Alternate versions are shocking enough to keep you in your seat. The HD resolution is simply fantastic. I also looked on the Blu-Ray version and both of them has the same quality. The HD-DVD is just cheaper. This is the type of movie you would like on your collection in HD format. Review ID: 10000000007306194 Was this review helpful?
