Review

Rolling Stone, 12/27/2007, p.124, 3 stars out of 4 -- "It is totally cool to see Manhattan devoid of people as Will Smith and his dog roam the ruins....Director Francis Lawrence keeps you squirming."

Los Angeles Times, 12/14/2007, "[S]lick, adrenaline-fueled fun....The first third of the movie is a high-octane joy ride through post-apocalyptic Manhattan..."

USA Today, 12/14/2007, "[Smith is] one of the very few actors who can star essentially solo in a feature-length film and keep us riveted....[His] physical transformation is awe-inspiring..."

Empire, 02/01/2008, p.44-45, 3 stars out of 5 -- "I AM LEGEND goes a surprisingly long way to explore psychology, and Smith fearlessly dives headfirst into the mind of an individual who's had no human contact for almost 40 months."

Product Notes

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.

5 out of 5 stars good movie, April 22, 2008
By jessicahines
I thought this was a very good movie for Will Smith to play in. It was almost unexplainably good!!! I do agree with the other rating, the ending was very confusing. I say their will probably be another one come out, hopefully. Will Smith will not be in it since he died in that one, so I dont know that if they do make another, that I would be interested in watching it!!!

3 out of 5 stars Another Great Sci-Fi Film with Smith, March 23, 2008
By THEdegausser
To be honest, Will Smith makes this movie what it is. Without him, this movie wouldve caved in on itself and crumbled. But for all that Smith does (since for a long time hes the only "human" character) I dont know how he didnt get any award nominations for his role here, but he shouldve. Yet, for as fast as the movie was going and as interesting and gripping as it was, visually it was a mess and the ending was pure garbage. There were too many unanswered questions and confusing parts that made me not like the overall film as much as the first hour (or so). Plain and simple: brilliant start, and lackluster ending.
