[MovieReview] I am Legend

I Am Legend

Cast: Will Smith

Director: Francis Lawrence

"Alot of Holes in the movies...."-Bezoe

Robert Neville (Smith) is a scientist, that try to save the earth from the outbreak that makes billions of people, some survivors after expose to the disease become a bloodthirsty creature. Neville tried to make the cure at the Ground Zero, which is located In NY city. But how can he find the cure for the outbreak? Especially with a swarm of bloodthirsty creatures. Plus since he is the last people in NY, there is no where to ask for help except his 4-legged friend. Will Neville save the world by finding the cure? or will the whole humanity being erase from the earth?

The Plot of the movie is very easy to guess hows the story will progress, Especially if you are a Zombie/Creature/Gory Monsters fan. Yep, beside this movie said to be a third remake. I think it is also a mix of a lot of zombies movie blend it together to make I am Legend. Couple movies that instantly cross my mind such as : 28 Days & Weeks Later, Resident Evil, Dawn of The Dead, a bit of Silent Hill movie and even Parasite Eve (oh yeah!). Too bad there was a lot of holes in the movie that makes you wondering what happen or why it happen. But no worries, its still entertaining.

I must say, Will Smith did a really good job, he made the movie believe able and we can feel the sympathy of a person who live alone.. well with a dog. Theres a couple of intense sequence that I can guarantee makes you jump from your seat. There was some funny scene also but in a cynical way.
Sound effect was very good! it makes the movie more "alive!". But can't praise too much for the special effects though, it looks good but it definitely won't win any SFX award this year.

Go see the movie when it play in your city, especially for zombie movie fans, it worthed. For a non zombie fans, no worries, Will Smith will entertain you.

Overall Rating : A--
