| Movie Description In I AM LEGEND, Will Smith joins the ranks of Vincent Price (in 1964's THE LAST MAN ON EARTH) and Charlton Heston (in 1971's OMEGA MAN) as the star of an adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel of the same name. 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.

Review ID: 10000000008451828 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Alternate version?The movie itself was pretty good. I don't understand the whole alternate version though. Why not just call it an alternate ending, the only differece was the last chapter of the movie. Review ID: 10000000008404029 Was this review helpful?

Review ID: 10000000008360216 Was this review helpful? Report this review Amazing!Will Smith did a truely amazing job in this film. Much better than that silly movie about robots taking over the world or Wild Wild West, and who knows what or who Fresh Prince is! Smith stays in his comfort zone for this movie, though, playing yet another hero to the world, but does it in, as usual, big style. This flick takes to another place and makes you realize that big things could really happen to our world right now with all that's going on. Makes you take a step back and say "Whoa, that could really happen!". To a degree, anyway. Review ID: 10000000008311990 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
