He is Legend

We finally saw I Am Legend last night we thought it was pretty good. It seems to be a clone of the zombie genre (which has been done to death - no pun intended) and competes with the likes of 28 Days Later and Resident Evil.

I didn't know much about the story except that Robert Neville (Will Smith's character) was the "last man on earth". The story has a few good scares along the way. There a few gaps in the story line which could have been explained better. For instance, Neville was considered "the saviour of the human race" and the only mention you see of this is on a newspaper cutting on his fridge. Why I ask you... Why?

I had mixed feelings about the ending. On the one-hand it was a good ending, on the other hand, certain events seemed quite unnecessary. I would have actually welcomed a sequel in this instance - which says something about the movie.

In summary, a story that has been told many times and in many ways before about a man-made disease/cure gone horribly wrong turning humans into zombies/the infected. The story unfolds in an very eerie way and Will Smith does an excellent job making the story credible. Highly recommended - you won't be disappointed.

Rating : 4/5
