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 ordinar y 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 vir us 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

Features:
* 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.

This is a great movie. I was wanting to have a copy. The gr eat thing about
Amazon is that you can buy these movies for a fraction of the cost of a
new one. They are just as good as buying a new one. Thanks Amazon.
