I AM LEGEND-2007-Will Smith returns in this new adaptation of Richard Matheson’s story that was filmed twice before. After a “cure for cancer” vaccine goes wrong the world’s inhabitants are turned into weird bald-headed monsters that like to kill. They are very fast and have mutant attack dogs too! Smith is Robert Neville, a government scientist and last man alive (well at least in NYC where it’s suppose to take place) . When not roaming around the decaying city, talking to his dog and some mannikins and avoiding the fast moving mutants he’s working on a cure. Flashbacks tell his story.
Brazilian actress Alice Braga shows up near the end and her son watches SHREK. It’s well done but once again as with modern “zombie” type films the creatures move so fast no one could possibly outrun them.
The director Francis Lawrence made CONSTANTINE with Keanu Reeves and rock videos. Emma Thompson has a pre-credit cameo as a doctor interviewed on TV.
Thanks for reading!
