All recent zombie movies + Cast Away = I Am Legend

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2007)

I saw the first showing of this film at 11:59 PM. I have never read the book and do not know the premise of the book, so my review is going to circle completely around the movie. First of all the acting was pretty good, Will Smith did a great job (But I gotta say the dog was better). When I watched the previews I did not know what to expect from this film, was it a suspense film, horror, science fiction? The film revolves around a military scientist, who just so happens to be the only living immune person in it in all of New York City. He tries to live a normal life, renting films, talking to statues he set up, and his most important thing is his dog. He is working on a cure for this mutated virus in his basement.
There is something lurking in the shadows, this virus has created zombie-vampires. They cannot go into sun or their flesh will melt (Anyone seen Buffy lately?) There jaws are able to open very wide to consume flesh. And the virus is transmitted by blood.
Some people find him and he has a hard time with communication. Yeah that is the movie. I expected a little more. To be completely honest 28 Months later was a much better film with a much better premise. Much more believable.
