I Am Legend (2007)
Robert Neville is a scientist who was unable to stop the spread of the terrible virus that was incurable and man-made. Immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and perhaps the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone.

Simply Perfect
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I am a big apoc movie fan and this movie has done justice to the genre. I find the movie to be very fun to watch. Do not believe the negative reviews here. These people are too hard to please!
WILL SMITH is a BRILLIANT actor FACT. Smith gives a powerful & fantastic performance as the lonely last man survivor in the world,he's Robert Neville & he's surviving in New York City with just his dog but there are others but they are infected zombie types that only come out at night. I am legend is a BRILLIANTLY made sci-fi Horror Thriller that's intense & scary & emotional & that is solely because of WILL SMITH!!! His performance is BRILLIANT,his emotional eyes say it all.A true modern Classic
Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerDirector Francis Lawrence has a way with suspense; jumping out of your seat is almost a requirement here. Onscreen, Manhattan transforms into a true island, isolated, removed, and falling apart. Weeds grow on the streets, Times Square is deserted, the Flatiron Building sits neglected, and an eerie hush has fallen. Bravo to the special effects crew, who have created a New York never seen before (except, perhaps, in Escape to New York). The results are nothing short of amazing.But the story ultimately disappoints. It starts out strong, hooking viewers in, but it sputters in the end. It's as if the screenwriters (or director, or producer) ran out of ways to wrap it up. Or perhaps the film simply doesn't have the same nuances as the Richard Matheson book on which it's based. Still, you can't fault I Am Legend for trying to be different from the typical action thriller. Taking on such themes as mankind's need for companionship, the fight for survival, and the existence of God, it at least succeeds in making us think.Overall Rating: 6.0
Continue my plan to watch every Will Smith movie in order, I come to I Am Legend (2007)Plot In A Paragraph: Three years after a man made cure for cancer evolves, causing all infected to either die or turn into bloodthirsty monsters, Dr. Robert Neville (Smith) alongside his dog, Samantha, are the last survivors in New York City, and possibly the world. Neville, in the meantime, struggles to find a cure.I know the movie gets a lot of hate, but I really like it. We get some decent acting from Will Smith, especially when he is talking to the mannequin in the video store, after THAT death. Which I still hate to watch. It's not perfect, some of the cgi isn't great, it has a few plot holes and I don't care how far in the future this is set, I don't believe anybody would never have heard of Bob Marley, yet knows his son Damian Marley (whom I'd never heard of) but that's just a minor gripe.Overall it's well acted, well paced and has a good sense of atmosphere. I like it. I Am Legend grossed $256 million at the domestic Box Office (his third movie of $250 million and 7th $100 million grossed in a row) to end the year, the 7th highest grossing movie of 2007. His best performing movie since Men In Black 10 years earlier.
