'I Am Legend'(2007) Review

What would you say, if you will turn to be the last man on Earth? What would you do, knowing you are the last chance humanity has? Would you go crazy, if after three years of struggling your only friend is you dog and you can exit your house only from dawn till dusk? At this questions must answer Robert Neville(Will Smith), a high ranked military, who wants to find a cure for the virus that has corrupted the world. The virus was initially created to cure cancer and soon spread into the whole world transforming the infected ones into zombies. After three years of loneliness Dr. Neville and his dog Sam are fighting their way through what's left of 2012's New York City. Neville is among those 1% of Earth's population immune to the virus. After three years from the outbreak he's lost all of his hope because of not coming close in finding the antidote for the virus, always reviewing the time he lost his wife and daughter during the evacuation of New York City population Neville seems to be near losing his mind when his best friend, the dog, Sam dies in his arms.

After losing Sam, the only thought that Neville has is to die taking with him as many zombies he can. In his attempt of "suicide" Neville is rescued by a young girl Anna(Alice Braga) who heard Robert Neville's radio broadcasting and came to New York City. Although Neville considers the zombies are not human and the only thing that matters to them is providing food, they seem to be extremely well organized and lead by the most powerful of them.

Because Anna was careless when she rescued Neville, zombies followed her home, they are ambushed by zombies and when everything seemed worthless Neville realizes that he found a cure for the disease, but he sacrifices in order others to live.

In 'I Am Legend' Will Smith performed a beautiful interpretation of his role, a very dramatic one, and although there have been several movies made on the subject of global infestation and zombies this was the one i liked the most. With a hand of actors, the film director Francis Lawrence(the creator of Constantine) succeeded in making an outstanding movie.

*And because it's 24 of December:

"Merry Christmas to all! Wherever you might be..."
