| |  | DVD I Am Legend [Blu-ray] |  | | | | | | | | | | Rating:  - Not what I was expecting
Will Smith's character thinks he's the last man in NYC after a devastating virus is unleashed.His will and determination to exterminate the virus, while saving the people powers the film, even when he is the lone actor in the scenes.It was interesting to see him handle so much time by himself.I had been warned against this movie, but I'm glad I didn't listen because it was a pretty good movie.
There were ultimately some scenes that I could have lived without, some scenes that made me cry, and some scenes that I thought were very cute.It was interesting how a movie could combine so many different genres into one, and still maintain a simple plot line.
I don't think it is an absolute must-see movie, but it is a movie that you should try to see if you get the opportunity.You don't have to be a big sci-fi fan to get into it.You just need to keep somewhat of an open-mind.
Rating:  - Hard movie to get through
The special effects in this movie is top notch. The acting is pretty good as well and the story telling is pretty darn good as well. Why didn't I like this movie then? It just wasn't very fun. There wasn't a lot of human interaction.... it was basically a Will Smith monologue and while he did a good job listening to Will Smith talk to himself for over an hour gets old real quick. The zoombies or living dead special effects wise were top knotch but they were a little creapy (which is probably what they were going for).
Strangly enough everything in this movie was done well except the fun factor. This is kind of a depressing movie and nothing really good happens until the end (kind of like Will Smith's the Pursuit of Happiness) and by the time that happens it just isn't enough.
Rating:  - Not much happens
This was an okay movie that I saw twice and do not like. I especially liked Will Smith's acting and the dog, but to see the infected is ridiculous. Nothing much seems to happen except a while after Robert Neville does what he normally does, he is not careful and is lured into a trap set up by the Infected, then is helped by another character, and then dies after the Infected finds out where he lives.
Rating: - I Am Legend
I Am Legend: I was expecting alot more it was not really exciting. It needed more new stuff and some really neat original ideas to keep my interest.
Rating: - Satisfying film
I enjoyed the film when I first saw it on screen because I like the genre and I am impressed by Will Smith's growth as an actor. I even accepted the dystopian ending and the escape of the woman and child while Neville blew himself and the creatures up at the end.Today I saw the alternate ending which is suppposed to be the original ending where there is a reconciliation (the woman with the butterfly tattoo is the male vampire's companion) as she regains humanity as a result of Neville's work.
This is a happy ending that reminds me of Blade Runner's original ending where Deckard and the perfect replicant, Rachel, escape.(Did I dream that part?) Did anybody notice the peace crane left by Gaff? Not everything has to end on a final note of death.
In "The Twelve Monkeys" and "28 Days Later" we also have the unleashing of a deadly virus caused by medical science. As in the 1950's with our fears of atomic bombs being unleashed everywhere and altering genetic structure, "Them" with James Arness, and "Godzilla," we seem to have become enamoured (if that word can be used) by our fascination with vampires and biological warfare doing us in. But nothing scares me as much as Vincent Price in "The Last Man on Earth" did. Now I would like to see a film version of "Earth Abides."
