Summary: Fantastic, edge-of-the-seat, sci-fi thriller
Comment: At the end of the movie you fail to realise it was just one man, Will Smith in most of the scences and yet the movie is neither boring, or lacking in elements that make for a great thriller. One stunning aspect of the movie is the great art direction. New York is bathed in vegetation and ruins that it is impossible to say it was a set. The scale of this set, whether it was computer aided or not, was breathtaking. Will Smith's role, the story, screenplay and action were superb indeed. The way a lonely scientist lives to preserve his sanity, by play-acting - talking to the mannequins in the store as though they were real people, renting and returning DVD's besides other activities such as talking to his dog, saying the lines of the film, singing songs, cooking and not forgetting excersising are all very well done. The concept of defending himself from the zombies at night was also very cleverly and painstakingly done.
Two very thrilling points in the movie are 1. Smith's first confrontation with the zombies (for those who haven't seen the trailers it is a terrific relevation at that point) and 2. The sighting of the mannequin on the road and the scenes that follow when the zombies trick him and later attack him.
One question that lingered in my mind was why didn't Will Smith not test animals that survived the epidemic and find out a cure from their blood instead of testing himself and the zombies. After all isn't animal testing the way of the medical world.
Bob Marley's songs were another sweet plus to a movie as this. Redemption Song played at the end of the movie was the icing on the cake.
An alternative ending is being circulated on the net but this one in the original is certainly better. Full marks and highly recommended.

Summary: Legendary
Comment: I recently purchased a new computer with a blu-ray disc drive and have a 22" screen. Though it is small you can really tell the difference from standard definition TV and movies. Blu-ray really is the way to go when it comes to the high def experience. It is only if have an HDTV... without one get the standard TV. As for the movie, well it was very enjoyable. They do play down the vampirism that the book describes but for the long run the movie is very entertaining. Will smith portrays the protector of humanity in this epic film about humanity's demise at its own hands. We believe to much in our superiority over nature and believe that we can alter DNA, splice genes and make other genetic modifications and then release these new things into the world without the slightest clue as to what will happen once they start to interact with the natural environment. Will Smith is our last hope... is humanity finished?

Summary: Check the Alt Endings
Comment: I didn't get to see the movie in the theater mostly b/c I heard mixed reviews.
So I bought the movie b/c of curiousity which turned out to be a good buy. Blu-ray disk comes with two versions: theater and Alternate version both are good movies but take the movie thru two completely different paths which made the purchase worthwhile. I prefered the Alt ending but my wife liked the Theater vers.
If you like Will Smith movies and a mild thrillers buy it.

Summary: Impressed
Comment: I am really impressed with this movie - solely on Will Smith's performance. Yes I know the CG zombies were too "CG"....yes I know the ending wasn't anything like the book...blah blah. However, if you think about Will's first acting jobs (think Fresh Prince) all the way through to what he was done on the big screen....I think that is pretty impressive.

Summary: I am Legend
Comment: Great movie although it is nothing like the book. So if you are expecting this to be like the book then you are in for a unpleasant surprise. Still the movie stands on its own and is great. Just dont expect it to be like the book.
