Movie Reviews of I Am Legend (Widescreen Single-Disc Edition)
Movie Review: Dallis's Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that I am Legend is a very good action packed movie. It has a lot of parts were you do at least one of the following, jolt, jump or stop breathing. It's very funny at times and other parts it saddens your heart. If you're like me you'll like this movie. "Why" you ask, because it doesn't scare you to death, gets you to laugh and you figure out things could be more heartbreaking in your life. I would pay to watch this movie one hundred times and then pay to see it again. It's just that good. I wouldn't take a young child or someone who has nightmares at night to see this movie. If you like being scared and watching people die and go through tough times this movie is for you.
A scientist, Robert Neville (Will Smith) is living with his trusty dog Sam in the new and deserted jungle New York. There was an epidemic and everyone who had "Clear eyes" or "Good eyes" was sent out of New York. Neville's wife and daughter were killed in a helicopter on their way out of New York. Sadly almost nobody made it through the travel. In New York Robert Neville lives an everyday life. He goes to the movie shop and gets and returns movies, he lives in his house, eats food and works out. He also hunts the prey running around, like the gazelle. A thing that isn't an ordinary thing that he does is he captures these sick humans that have turned into mutant creatures. He does this so he can try to find a cure for them. The way he captures them is by spilling blood onto a blanket and sets up a trap. He uses blood because the creatures are attracted to blood. He knocks them out cold and then takes the creatures to his house, into his basement and ties them down onto a stretcher. He gives a vaccine of some sort. Then they go wild.
Many creatures have died while Dr. Neville tries to find a cure. As the Robert was driving around one day he sees his friend from the movie store "Fred", the manikin. Neville walks towards the manikin. He thinks the manikin is one of the mutant creature so he shoots at him with his gun. The manikin just shatters. As he gets closer he is swung up in the air by a rope and the taxi car near the side of the rode drops off the side of the road. It was a trap. He's knocked out and his dog Sam is barking at him. As it gets closer to dark he awakens and sees the creatures there inside the building about 10-15 yards away.
He cuts the rope holding him up but stabs himself on the way down. The creatures have mutant dogs that are waiting for the sun to be blocked. They have to wait because the sun kills them and that's why they live in dark places. Sam protects her owner but she is badly wounded. Neville tries to kill himself but is saved by a woman named Anna and a boy named Ethan. The next morning when he woke up the place he stab himself was stitched up. The next night the manikins followed the scent of his blood and a whole army of manikins come towards the house. Will blows up part of them and saves Ethan and Anna. They head down towards the basement to hide. Mutant Creatures soon appear and.......
You'll have to watch the movie to find out what happens!
Summary of I Am Legend (Widescreen Single-Disc Edition)
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.Will Smith stars in the third adaptation of Richard Matheson?s classic science-fiction novel about a lone human survivor in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by vampires. This new version somewhat alters Matheson?s central hook, i.e., the startling idea that an ordinary man, Robert Neville, spends his days roaming a desolated city and his nights in a house sealed off from longtime neighbors who have become bloodsucking fiends. In the new film, Smith?s Neville is a military scientist charged with finding a cure for a virus that turns people into crazed, hairless, flesh-eating zombies. Failing to complete his work in time--and after enduring a personal tragedy--Neville finds himself alone in Manhattan, his natural immunity to the virus keeping him alive. With an expressive German shepherd his only companion, Neville is a hunter-gatherer in sunlight, hiding from the mutants at night in his Washington Square town house and methodically conducting experiments in his ceaseless quest to conquer the disease.
The film?s first half almost suggests that I Am Legend could be one of the finest movies of 2007. Director Francis Lawrence?s extraordinary, computer-generated images of a decaying New York City reveal weeds growing through the cracks of familiar streets that are also overrun by deer and prowled by lions. It?s impossible not to be fascinated by such a realistically altered cityscape, reverting to a natural environment, through which Smith moves with a weirdly enviable freedom, offset by his wariness over whatever is lurking in the dark of bank vaults and parking garages. Lawrence and screenwriters Mark Protosevich and Akiva Goldsman wisely build suspense by withholding images of the monsters until a peak scene of horror well into the story. It must be said, however, that the computer-enhanced creatures don?t look half as interesting as they might have had the filmmakers adhered more to Matheson?s vampire-nightmare vision. I Am Legend is ultimately noteworthy for Smith?s remarkable performance as a man so lonely he talks to mannequins in the shops he frequents. The film?s latter half goes too far in portraying Smith?s Neville as a pitiable man with a messianic mission, but this lapse into bathos does nothing to take away from the visual and dramatic accomplishments of its first hour. --Tom Keogh
