One of the most powerful and gripping sci-fi thrillers in years.

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 2015)

Will Smith shocked the heck out of me by taking a role that would seem to be an eye-roller, but turned out to be a heart-pounding burst of energy of a movie. "I Am Legend" is not only emotionally powerful causing tears to roll down your cheeks, but a lonely adventure of one man's incredible and desolate situation. Years after a plague kills most of humanity and transforms the rest into monsters, Will Smith in New York City struggles valiantly to find a cure while struggling to survive from the infected creatures that come out at night. With his only companion being a magnificent German Shepherd, we see the stress and isolation way down on this brave characters. Director Francis Lawrence plays with you mentally as he adds super-cool action sequences and provokes your mind with unpredictable flashes of terror and peril. Through gripping and terrifying chase scenes that feel authentic, and stunning cinematography and editing, "I Am Legend" proves sci-fi can have meaning and can hurt like a kick in the face. Will Smith gives a dynamite performance that shows the soul of a man. The flashbacks are relevant and emotional, the production design is jaw-dropping... there really isn't a bad thing to say about this blockbuster.
