dull

Rating: 4/10 (25 December 2007)

It should be called I Am Boring.
Will Smith is the last man "alive" in a world where everyone has been turned into vampires by a cancer cure (or eaten by said vampires). Alone with his dog he is working valiantly for a cure....
Well made, great looking (except the vampires which are cliché bargain basement) and with a nice sense of dread, this is a really dull movie. Owing to the fact that we've been here before at least twice using the same source novel, not to mention George Romero's work and any other survivor scifi/horror film, odds are you've seen it all before at least nine or ten times. Jettisoning said source novel and relying more on the Charlton Heston version, Omega Man they've once again bowdlerized one of the classics of the horror genre. The title I Am Legend is a chilling end to the book, but here its been morphed into something else. Its not a bad movie, but it will induce sleep. I'm planning on buying a copy to put on for those nights I have insomnia.
Wait for cable- I don't care how great and empty the city vistas look on the big screen you won't be awake to the end to see all of them
