Adapted from acclaimed author Richard Matheson's influential novelette of the same name, Constantine director Francis Lawrence's I Am Legend follows the last man on Earth as he struggles to survive while fending off the infected survivors of a devastating vampiric plague. A brilliant scientist who raced to discover a cure for the man-made virus as humanity came crumbling down all around him, Robert Neville (Will Smith) was inexplicably immune to the highly contagious superbug. Now the entire population of New York City -- and perhaps the world -- has been transformed into carnivorous bloodsuckers that fear the light and live solely to spread their contagion to any remaining living creature that crosses their path. It's been three years since civilization came to an end, and the loneliness has taken a devastating toll on Neville. By day he scours the city for food and supplies while sending out desperate radio messages in hopes that someone might respond, and by night he attempts to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus by experimenting with his own blood. But time is running out for Neville as the legions of infected watch his every move from the safety of the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. They, too, long to learn the secret that lurks in Neville's blood, though they will have to take caution while attempting to procure it because Neville will sooner die attempting to slay every last one of them than willingly giving up a single drop. Previously adapted for the screen in the 1964 Vincent Price frightener The Last Man on Earth and the 1971 Charlton Heston action film The Omega Man, Matheson's novelette also served as the inspiration for George A. Romero's groundbreaking zombie classic Night of the Living Dead. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Will Smith plays virologist Robert Neville, who is immune to a vicious man-made virus originally created to cure cancer. He works to create a remedy while living in Manhattan in 2012, a city inhabited by animalistic victims of the virus. it is very well done.

I was so happy that I rented it instead of seeing it in the theaters. Definitely not Will Smith's best performance.

I've read reviews in which people hated this movie but I liked it. I will admit that it has flaws though.

1. The monsters look WAY TOO CGI FAKE. There are seens where it looks like your standing over someone's shoulder watching them play a video game that has some kick ass graphics. Some examples of this are the scene where he falls out of a window with a vampire and the scene where the vampires attack his truck. The vampire dogs looks very fake, just like they're from a resident evil video game. The test rats really look fake. If this were made in the 70s or even the 80s before of the CGI and they were forced to make the vampires people in costumes, it would have been a much scarier movie. Because of the CGI, this movie isn't scary. You have to enjoy it the same way you would any other SCI-FI film.

2. The other problem is that the movie has a nice pace throughout. It seems that the first half of the movie takes place during the first 90% of the running time and then the second half of the movie takes place during 10% of the movie.

It sounds like I'm saying what a terrible movie this was but even with all the flaws, I still like it. When I first heard WIll Smith was going to play the lead role I thought it was going to suck. It didn't seem like his type of film but I have to say I think he did a great job. If not for the curse of Hollywood Computer Graphics, this might have been a great movie instead of a really good one.

This movie is intense, but that intensity never really goes anywhere. You sit there and breath hard but nothing really BANG! happens.

The only time I jumped was when my brother leaned over and went "BOO!" and grabbed me. So unless you are with a bunch of annoying relatives you won't get a scream out of this movie, although it might raise your blood pressure! :)
