"Light Up the Darkness"

I Am Legend DVD

I am Legend stars Will Smith as a scientist who has survived a deadly virus that was developed by genetic engineering to kill cancer; instead it has killed off most of mankind. Smith struggles to live in New York City with his German Shepherd dog surrounded by cannibalistic super strong zombies that only come out at night. This is a jarring apocalyptic movie that speaks well of Hollywood. I'm glad that someone in Hollywood is reading Science Fiction. There's a ton of science fiction books that could be made into good movies.

This movie is based on the novelette I Am Legend
Recommended for fans of Will Smith, and science fiction (Note: I have not read the book so I don't know how closely the story follows the book.)

Amazing Film

I absolutely loved this film. I must admit i did not expect much going into it. I have never been a huge Will Smith fan or a fan of science fiction which this film seemed to be. Wow, was I shocked and amazed with the excellent, quality film of the highest caliber that totally took me by surprise.

This film is so well made. I thought the story was very well laid out. The government thought that they had finally found a cure for cancer by using a vaccine for another illness. After much use the treatment backfired with major side effects with the people turning into flesh eating zombies who could never be in the sun. I didn't look at the creatures as mere vampire like beings but thought the deterioration due to the vaccine was well documented. Back to the plot, New York City becomes quaurantined and Will Smith plays Neville, a military scientist who stays in New York to work on finding a cure.

The barren and stranded New York City is amazing to view. I was caught up in the film from the first second and amazed as I watched the small world Neville had created for himself and his dog which allowed him to work on the cure but also have protection from the creatures. He ventured out every day and returned at night. Will Smith has been praised for other films but his work here was truly Oscar worthy. The first half of the film is the best when it is just him and the dog. His characterization is more than believable as the lone survivor who deals with loneliness by talking to mannequins etc. He has not gone crazy but has adapted. I found the story to also be believable and the creatures when shown were also believable and very well created. The movie has a serious basis but also has chills and thrills like one of the best horror films there are.

In the latter half of the film the plot changes a little (I won't give it away) and the 5 star plus caliber of the first half gets a little off track. It is still excellent but the first half was so superior it is hard to compete with. The film has a purpose and shows Will Smith as never seen before. Whatever your expectations for this film, upon viewing they will be far surpassed. Excellent acting, amazing production and directing.

Highly recommended.

Sooner or later...they will find you

At first I had next to no interest to go see I AM LEGEND when I first heard of it's release and it's promotional advertising. It seemed like another film following in on the success of such films as 2004's Dawn of the Dead or even 28 Days Later. I soon found many people I knew raving about it just because it was an intelligent film. No one seemed to compare it to any other film. I couldn't help but have my curiosity piqued and I had never really seen anything with Will Smith as the lead star so I figured there wasn't any problem in seeing such a large-scale film upon the big screen.

Robert Neville (Will Smith) is in the middle of apocalypse... surrounded by nobody. After a devastating epidemic caused by an experiment that was supposed to cure cancer sweeps through the world, Robert finds himself victim to his own genes as simply one among the small percentage of population who would've been immune to the virus. Aided by his faithful dog Sam, he copes with his days by remembering the last moments he spent with his wife Zoe and daughter Marley, while also struggling with new challenges such as grabbing the attention of two survivors: Anna, a kind but brave woman, and Ethan, a little boy who refuses to say a word. However, two survivors aren't the only things he's grabbed the attention of...

My favorite thing about the whole story are the six main characters. Lead gracefully and thoughtfully by Will Smith who could've easily ruined his career had he not carried the entire film on his shoulders for an hour on his own. The slew of emotions that runs through his face between the present time and flashbacks are a constant reminder of Robert's world was and what it has become and the difference between them.

The other five characters are also a rarity on their own: two women, two children, and his dog. The fact that the Robert's character never speaks to any other men never crosses your mind until well after the film is over. When it comes down to it, his own dog ends up being female. The only other male character, Ethan, never says a word because of the devastating things each of them have experienced. Anna (played beautifully by Alice Braga) only becomes a reminder to Robert of his wife who only shares a bit eight minutes with his daughter (played greatly by Smith's own daughter, Willow Smith) in flashback sequences.

Too many people seem to overlook the fact that the story is centered around Robert at his psychological height. They seem more intent to point all the mistakes and plot holes. Personally, I'm usually the one to do so but I was so entertained by the movie as a whole that I didn't even bother. It was really more of an intelligent bit of filmmaking and writing to take the more humanitarian look to the film instead of looking on the hollywood side of it. I could've easily said that the $150,000,000 was wasted on a big-budget blockbuster. I Am Legend becomes more than that after it lingers on your mind well after you've seen it. I think this film will serve as more of what audiences looking for... to be tested and be given creativity at the same time.

Why can't movie makers provide movies in Blue-ray that are FULL SCREEN. I will not buy any movies that are not FULL SCREEN.

Blue Ray is not Blue Ray without the movie filling the whole screen just like if I were at the movie theatre.
