I Am Legend

A Film Review By Paul Perkins

What Would Be The World If You Was The Only One In It?

One thing we know from this film is that when the world is doomed and there is only one person left we would still have some high gas prices. As in this film the gas station read 6.93 a gallon and also there will still be a batman and superman movie in the future. Keep a eye out for the big banner of the two.

I Am Legend is about Robert Neville (Will Smith) who is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable... and manmade. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City... and maybe the world. But he is not alone. He is surrounded by "the Infected"-victims of the plague who have mutated into carnivorous beings who can only exist in the dark and who will devour or infect anyone or anything in their path. For three years, Neville has spent his days scavenging for food and supplies and faithfully sending out radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. All the while, 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 his blood is also what The Infected hunt, and Neville knows he is outnumbered and quickly running out of time.

I Am Legend is the type of film that make you think what would you do if you was the only one left on the face of the planet and how would you survive? What Would You Do To Pass The Time? The Movie was pretty good I like the idea of the film and how the director tells the story of it. This film is coming out in two format the regular format and the Imax format which I seen it in regular format. But I cannot wait to see it in the Imax format.

This film was thrown around for a while this film was once link to Arnold Schwarzenegger was going to be the main star and Ridley Scott was going to directed it. I don't think Arnold would have been a good choice for this film. I think Will Smith was a very good choice for this film you feel for him and everything he is going through and you hope for the best for him. This is another film where you have to have the right actor for the part or the film will not work. Case in point Tom Hanks in Castaway who help to make that film a outstanding motion picture. The story did have a couple of slow moments but there were very small when the film started to roll you never got a chance to rest up until the ending of the film which was a ok ending not outstanding. But overall I Am Legend was a good film to check out over the Christmas holiday.
