    In I AM LEGEND, Will Smith joins the ranks of Vincent Price (in 1964`s THE LAST MAN ON EARTH) and Charlton Heston (in 1971`s OMEGA MAN) as the star of an adaptation of Richard Matheson`s 1954 novel of the same name. Often surprising in its focus on loneliness and loss, this thoughtful, eerie, and restrained sci-fi horror film provides a parade of startling visuals, but never allows special effects to overcome the human element. Smith, in a strong performance very different from his usual persona, is Robert Neville, the lone survivor in a New York City where streets are overgrown and deer gambol among deserted automobiles. Following an epidemic, the Earth`s population has been turned into an army of nocturnal zombies. Immune to the virus, military scientist Neville searches for a cure in his Washington Square townhouse. Haunted by visions of his family leaving quarantined Manhattan two years prior, he drives through the city with his German Shepherd, Sam, by day and barricades his home from the monsters nightly. But when Anna (Alice Braga)--another immune stranger-finds him, they will have to fight the onslaught twice as hard.

    Akiva Goldsman and Mark Protosevich`s emotionally-charged script showcases the charisma of Smith, who commands the screen alone for most of the picture (aside Abbey, a talented German Shepherd). Director Francis Lawrence (CONSTANTINE) uses music minimally, wisely allowing the eerie cityscapes to remain mostly silent. The set pieces, including an overgrown, deserted Times Square and a lion hunting a deer in the Flatrion District, are goosebump-inducing moments of stark beauty. Though some may question the rendering of the monsters in CGI instead of using actors, it does allow them to be frighteningly acrobatic. A chilling and effective adaptation of a horror classic, I AM LEGEND is also a thought-provoking piece of Hollywood filmmaking.

I am Legend

ELECTFRY from Nesconset, NY, Apr 28, 2008

The concept was unusual & Will Smith is good as usual.Especially when he had to carry most of the movie himself being the other characters had small parts.

I am Legend Rocks!

red2play from Altanta, GA, Apr 27, 2008

ITs a wonderful thought provoking movie. It stars Will Smith totally alone with no human companionship with flashes of how he got to be alone. His acting was wonderful and the movie was a smart rollercoaster ride til the end. Although I didn't like the ending nor the alternate ending, the bulk of the movie I liked.
