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.Format: DVD HD Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/THRILLERS UPC: 085391176343 Manufacturer No: 1000026364

I Am Legend DVD movie Aug 24, 2008
This was bought as Christmas gift so it's not been given to person yet. But it was on their list so sure they will enjoy it. Really I can't wait so I can borrow it once they have watched it. Love anything Will Smith is in. I'm sure it's great.

Good film Aug 21, 2008
4.5 stars. Now this is entertainment. Will Smith carries this suspenseful film effortlessly. I know many have complained about its CGI, but I actually found the vampire characters quite scary and believable. I'm not sure whether it was explained how Fred the mannequin was removed from store or why the vampire population weren't turning on themselves for food. Some of the plotlines were predictable but it doesn't mean they weren't still effective. Losing Sam caused a lump to swell in my throat. The thought of being completely and utterly alone was a bit much to wrap my brain around. My problem with the film was the same as most: the ending. The decision seemed so abrupt. If the tunnel was strong enough to withstand the blast then it was strong enough for him to hunker in and wait until morning to leave with the woman and child. Still this was a highly entertaining film.

No Resolution, But Still A Decent Film Aug 20, 2008
As I viewed this film, it quickly become clear to me that two very different themes are being explored by director Francis Lawrence in this film, one that works and one that does not:

The first, more wide-reaching theme, is the fate of the human race, which Robert Neville (Will Smith) is working desperately to save throughout the movie. I can't tell you the state of humanity at the end of the film without spoiling some things, but suffice it to say that there is a good chance you will feel a bit let down by the lack of resolution to this theme.

The theme that works quite well, however, is how Neville copes with being the "last man on Earth". His internal struggles and outward devices (such as talking to mannequins, for instance) that he uses to keep some semblance of his sanity are intriguing, and Smith is a well-rounded enough actor to portray the wide variety of emotions his character must express.

Overall, then, this is a decent enough film (worth a rent), but lacks enough of a payoff in the end to be considered a real classic. I found this film to be much in the vein of J.J. Abram's recent hit "Cloverfield", where little to nothing is explained or expanded on...viewers are just supposed to live in the moment. Yet, with the way that Neville's family is developed in this film (unlike the anonymous characters of Cloverfield), I think that the lack of a conclusive ending was more apparent.

Here There Be Darkseekers! Aug 20, 2008
I Am Legend brings to the screen the story of what appears to be the sole healthy survivor of a human-evoked biological catastrophe who spends the remainder of his life searching for a cure during the day and fending off the infected survivors during the night. At first it might seem like an improbable scenario, but Hollywood has been noted (surprisingly or not so surprisingly) to foresee destructive events before (e.g. Wag the Dog-instead of Albania it was Yugoslavia, The Day after Tomorrow-instead of ice it's hurricanes, Deep Impact-instead of a tidal wave hitting the USA it hits Indonesia and Sri Lanka, Outbreak-instead of the Ebola-like virus it's SARS and/or the bird flu, etc), The Island-and the real prospect of the production of human clones for `spare parts,' etc.
The film does a good job of getting the message across, as it should do, in making people aware that messing around with viruses and genetic engineering will sooner or later lead to a mistake that mankind will regret. It is inevitable.
In addition, the movie should have been rated R and not PG-13.
In short, Will Smith's acting, the plot, and the setting, are all very good, and I Am Legend is one of those films that gets you and keeps you thinking long after it's over!

PS Just wondering if someone could shed some light as to whose trap he springs and falls into?

Robinson Crusoe in Zombie island... Aug 18, 2008
I think the book and movie also based on a lonely and strong character. Like a lonely man in an island full of cannibals, he tried to civilize them. He try to cure and normalize these creatures.
Mostly a phsycological movie at same time.
I suggest this movie especially in HD-DVD.
