DescriptionStudio product: Warner Home Video Release Date: 12/09/2008 Rating: Pg13Amazon. comWill Smith stars in the third adaptation of the classical science of Richard Matheson’s novel about a fictional survivor of the solitary man in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by vampires. This new version somewhat alters Matheson central hook, i. e. , The frightening thought that the ordinary man, Robert Neville, spends his days roaming a desolated city and his nights in a house isolated from longtime neighbors who have become bloodsucking demons. In the new film, Neville Smith is a military scientist charged with finding a cure for a virus that turns people into crazy, hairless, flesh-eating zombies. Do not complete its work in time – and after enduring a personal tragedy – Neville finds himself alone in Manhattan, his natural immunity to the virus keeping him alive. With an expressive German shepherd his only companion, Neville is a hunter-gatherer in sunlight, hiding from the mutants night in his house, instead of the city of Washington and the orderly conduct experiments in his ceaseless quest to conquer the disease. First half of the film almost suggests that I Am Legend could be one of the finest films of 2007. Extraordinary images, computer generated film director Francis Lawrence of decomposition of New York shows weeds growing through the cracks of familiar streets that are also overrun by deer and prowled by lions. It is impossible not to be fascinated by such a realistically altered cityscape, reverting to a natural environment, through which Smith moves with an oddly enviable freedom, offset by its caution on anything that is lurking in the dark vaults banks and parking garages. Lawrence and screenwriters Mark Protosevich and Akiva Goldsman wisely build suspense by withholding the images of the scene monsters until a peak of horror well into the story. It must be said, however, that the computer enhanced creatures do not look half as interesting as they might have the most respected filmmakers Vampire Matheson-nightmare. I Am Legend is finally to note the remarkable performance of Smith as a man so lonely he talks to mannequins in the shops he frequents. Second half of the film goes too far in representing Neville Smith as a man with a pitiful messianic mission, but the decline in pathos does nothing to remove the visual and dramatic accomplishments of its first hour. – Tom Keogh

A film of this soft and non-essential receives this type of “star” treatment? You can stuff a large box with the greatest number of discs and extras as you want but it does not make the movie better. I Am Legend is just “meh” Whatever type of art Spiffy Box is designed for that. Definite PASS on it. Rating: 2 / 5
** SPOILER ** BEFORE the guy is a brilliant scientist. the guy is strong. The guy is courageous. the guy sacrifices himself. It is the best man on earth. nobody else is as good as him. and yes, just before his death, he found the vaccine to cure the disease. What coïncidence.et why the lady to dress sexy and wear makeup when humanity is near extinction and it ran for his life and why did he not dead in the street? Man is depicted as the sacrifice and “self-less, but the film’s title is a selfish” I Am Legend. “this is just a fake, made-up film tries to make a man look like a god and a saint. Rating: 1 / 5
I have no idea what Blu-Ray but it does not work on my player. When I tried to adapt my drive I screwed things wrong. Be careful when you buy a DVD if you do not have a Blu-Ray or have no idea how to use it on your DVD player. It can cause you much grief. Amazon should give a warning to those of us who are not up on the latest technology – which is difficult for some of us working folk in charge. Rating: 1 / 5
It’s a funny thing “End of the World (EOW) The stories they read in general fairly well, but rarely adapt well to film. I always had a fascination with EOW, not that I’m morbid, I think it is simply a scenario inevitable. One day, humanity as we know it will be radically changed. Can be viral, or perhaps green. No, not global warming. I speak of asteroids, here. In any case, a thousand years from now, maybe even ten thousand years from now, or maybe even tomorrow, any catastrophic event will result in the destruction of society and the decimation of the humanité.Comme almost all the stories EOW changing from print to film, I Am Legend, the film is far from the book. This does not mean that the film is worth seeing, or even pleasant. It was very enjoyable for me and perhaps one of the best films EOW done to date. But…. There’s always a but right? The film does not several fronts. There is too much time on scenes that are missing really contribute much to the story, and not enough time devoted to explain the important details. There is a brief elusion to God and His plan for the humanity, but the shadow of a promising plot is short. I do not give too much of a consideration, so I will not go further into the story itself même.Maintenant, this is what this film does not offer. Suspense, drama, fast cars, good to evil, high-tech weapons, zombie-like humanoids and the rest could be expected. The film is good, the special effects are first-order . There is not really casting here, it’s pretty much a show Will Smith solo.En Ultimately, if it were to do again, I would not spend $ 10 at the theater, but I would definitely pay few dollars for a location.Rating: 4 / 5
SE This movie has great vampire and looked fantastic but there are two reasons I give it one star. 1) We already have this movie twice (the last man on Earth, The Omega Man) 2) Will Smith is not suitable for this role. For this role we need a REAL charismatic actor who could convince us of how he must be alone in this world by its performance and Will Smith has nothing to do with Vincent Price and hell. . . even Charlton Heston. A star for the SE and mutants. I’ll stick to films earlier. . . Rating: 1 / 5
