Robert Neville is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable, and man-made. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and maybe the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague -- The Infected -- lurk in the shadows... watching Neville's every move... waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered... and quickly running out of time.

Summary: okay, but predictable
Comment: This wasn't a bad movie.. but it's only 'okay.' I wish I had rented it instead of buying the blue-ray. This movie is very predictable and depends largely upon the depth of Will Smith's character. I think they made a good attempt at developing a deep character, but ultimately I think the movie fell short.
I would recommend renting it instead of purchasing it.

abrupt)ending.But it is an entertaining movie,nevertheless.i would
recommend it.the premise was good but just needed more development
to round out the story,to make it more believeable.enjoy!

Summary: I really AM Legend!
Comment: I missed this in the theatres, although I really wanted to see it. Lack of funds will do that. All in all, I liked it well enough to watch it more than once, but it's one that I doubt will make it into my personal collection. Will Smith does very well, and the directing is impressive too. I can suspend disbelief pretty well, but there are one or two areas where I had to shake my head and look again. I won't go into it because perhaps you'll be able to overlook what I could not. It's worth seeing at least once, after that, it's up to you.

Summary: One star is far too charitable, actually.
Comment: Once again, we see that Hollywood has not one bit of originality. They simply have better special effects. This is a modern rip-off of The Omega Man with Charleton Heston. Will Smith, who has absolutely no talent whatsoever, is fortunate that the special effects mercifully distract the unfortunate audience from his obvious deficiencies as an actor. Luckily for both Hollywood and Mr. Smith, we live in a dumbed-down society which values video-game special effects over the actor's craft.

Summary: Post-Apocalyptic Horror/Drama With A Spiritual Edge
Comment: In "I Am Legend" the apocalypse has hit the world, a man-made virus intended for good, intended to cure cancer, but gone horribly awry. On a planet now populated by hordes of mutated, vampire-like victims of the plague, a surviving military scientist (Will Smith, in his best performance), somehow immune to the disease, works in a fortified house to find a cure, walking the city with his canine companion in search of specimens to test various experimental treatments on, and in search for survivors.
He's set up a radio transmitter that sends out messages on all frequencies urging any other survivors to meet him at a certain time and place to band together, but day after day, year after year, he finds no one there to meet him. Interspersed with the post-apocalyptic time frame we see frequent flashbacks showing the early days when the 'cure' was going wrong, and global panic was breaking out. The plague victims are nightmarish creatures, shirking from the sun, ravenous, violent and mindless. During the nights the doctor barricades himself and his companion inside the house, but the ghastly creatures are out there, always. It's a bleak world being presented, but done well. I've noted before that 'bleak' is among the hardest moods to do right in a movie, but I Am Legend does it brilliantly. Part of it is that the grim mood is punctuated by touches of the idyllic: the abandoned city beginning to look alive again as all this beautiful greenery creeps in, deer bounding about...but there's nothing idyllic or peaceful once you get into the shadows where the creatures dwell. One of the creatures, in particular, is especially disturbing: he seems much smarter than the others, seems angrier than the others, and the others are starting to follow his lead.
**WARNING: POSSIBLE SEMI-SPOILERS AHEAD***
Eventually, Smith's character does come across another survivor, two actually: a woman and her little boy. Instead of just relief, tension soon follows. Smith has by this point become utterly defeated psychologically and spiritually - he no longer believes there's any hope of his finding a way of reversing the mutation, he's lost faith in just about everything, and he reacts with disbelief and almost anger as she claims God guided her to him, and her claims that an entire colony of survivors is out there waiting for them.
Where the movie goes from here I'll refrain from hinting at, but it continues developing. A lot of what happens in the latter parts are highly interpretative, and fascinating. The movie does miss a couple of opportunities, and is a bit slow in places, but those minor hindrances are blown away by the overall power of the movie. Emotional, at times frightening, at times spiritual, boasting great cinematography and great performances from a cast that has some very demanding material, I Am Legend is among the top movies of 2007. 9/10
