This is a great movie. I was wanting to have a copy. The great thing about Amazon is that you can buy these movies for a fraction of the cost of a new one. They are just as good as buying a new one. Thanks Amazon.

Entertaining, Well-Done

Really enjoyed this movie.

It is a relatively suspenseful movie that told an original story. Worth the watch if you are a fan of such movies (i.e. Signs)

First Half Better Than The Ending

Reviewed by beck, 2010-02-22

First half of the movie really raises your expectations.
Great scenes of a decaying city. And Will Smith plays
his part to perfection.

Unfortunately, the dialogue with his german sheppard
is much better than the interaction between Will and
the female he meets toward the end of the movie.

This is another one to add to my "Last Man" Movies.
"Last Man on Earth", "28 Days Later", "Omega Man", etc.

All Good. None Great.

W. Smith is Good -- CGI Just Isn't Scary

Reviewed by Mikhail Yusuf, 2010-02-12

My comments no doubt echo those of other reviewers -- but I contribute in the hope that some filmmakers out there might actually get the message if they see it often enough: CGI just ISN'T scary!!!

In a nutshell -- Will Smith gives a good performance; using real people as zombies would've been a lot scarier than cartoonish CGI zombies. Hell, even more realistic-looking CGI would not compete with flesh-and-blood flesh-eaters.

Roman Polanski -- for all his news-headline faults -- made a great observation on the commentary track for his film The Ninth Gate (1999): the best use of CGI is when you DON'T notice it.

CGI can be an effective tool -- it worked great in I Am Legend for creating a post-apocalyptic Manhattan. When you overuse it, however, the result is like overusing any other cinematic tool: usually bad.

Richard Matheson's novel, I Am Legend, is one of my all-time favorites. I also enjoyed the 1964 (The Last Man on Earth) and 1971 (The Omega Man) film adaptations, for all their faults. I was so looking forward to this film version as I assumed it would be closer to that great novel. I was disappointed: at least the '64 Vincent Price version had them as vampires -- and even the The Omega Man's hooded mutants came off scarier than the digital cartoons jumping around Will Smith's NY townhouse.
