![]() ![]() When the vampires stay away from the sun and lie inactive, Robert Neville scavenges through the abandoned marts and malls of Los Angeles for essential supplies. The movie falters a bit at the end, maybe at the last 5 minutes, but it doesn't ruin the plot or acting put forth. Richard Matheson’s classic 1954 horror and science fiction book, ‘I Am Legend,’ is the originator of many science fictions and horror genres. ![]() Keeping the movie flowing are well placed flashbacks that show what happened to Robert's family and why he is there. ![]() His nights, sleeping with a high-powered rifle and hoping that the mutants don't find him. His basement, a retro-fitted, high-tech lab to find a cure for the disease that has turned the population of the entire planet into mutant, zombie-like, hive mind, blood-thirsty monsters, and, for some reason, Robert is immune. Living in a deserted NY city, his acting is reminiscent of Tom Hanks in Cast Away, but instead of a volleyball, he has mannequins and a faithful German Shepard named Sam. Will Smith is the driving force of I Am Legend. If I could sum this movie up in one sentence, it would be this: Go Will. ![]()
