 Here There Be Darkseekers! August 20, 2008
I Am Legend brings to the screen the story of what appears to be the sole healthy survivor of a human-evoked biological catastrophe who spends the remainder of his life searching for a cure during the day and fending off the infected survivors during the night. At first it might seem like an improbable scenario, but Hollywood has been noted (surprisingly or not so surprisingly) to foresee destructive events before (e.g. Wag the Dog-instead of Albania it was Yugoslavia, The Day after Tomorrow-instead of ice it's hurricanes, Deep Impact-instead of a tidal wave hitting the USA it hits Indonesia and Sri Lanka, Outbreak-instead of the Ebola-like virus it's SARS and/or the bird flu, etc), The Island-and the real prospect of the production of human clones for `spare parts,' etc.
The film does a good job of getting the message across, as it should do, in making people aware that messing around with viruses and genetic engineering will sooner or later lead to a mistake that mankind will regret. It is inevitable.
In addition, the movie should have been rated R and not PG-13.
In short, Will Smith's acting, the plot, and the setting, are all very good, and I Am Legend is one of those films that gets you and keeps you thinking long after it's over!
PS Just wondering if someone could shed some light as to whose trap he springs and falls into?
Robinson Crusoe in Zombie island... August 18, 2008
I think the book and movie also based on a lonely and strong character. Like a lonely man in an island full of cannibals, he tried to civilize them. He try to cure and normalize these creatures.
Mostly a phsycological movie at same time.
I suggest this movie especially in HD-DVD.

Not my type of movie. It was purchased as a gift for a Will Smith fan.

Cant Hollywood come up with anything original anymore? Just another remake. The version with Charleston Heston called Omega Man was a whole lot better and original. Probably the worst Will Smith sci fi movie to date.
