I Am Legend (*****)
If you want to drop some money at the cinema and have a good time for a change – go see I Am Legend with Will Smith. This is a much better adaptation of the book by the same title, than was The Omega Man.
Of course the special effects are much better today than in ‘71, but the true excellence in this movie is the heart wrenching loneliness of Smith as the last man on Earth. His radio broadcasts echo those of 28 Days Later as does the empty New York streets.
His humanity in spite the loss of his world reminds me of what might have been in Dawn of the Dead if it had been continued past the week or so they spend in the mall. This is what long term survival after a mega extinction of humanity would be like.
This movie is a must see for all zombie shooters, even if the zeds are of the infection model. Soon to be a great addition to your DVD collection.
