It's The End Of The World as We Know It and Will Smith is Fine!

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2008)

I AM LEGEND (2007) *** Will Smith, Alice Braga, Charlie Tahan, Salli Richardson, Willow Smith, (Cameo: Emma Thompson) Decent adaptation of Richard Matheson's sci-fi classic parable about the last man on earth (Smith doing yeoman work with true finesse) who is the last possible survivor when a cure for cancer unleashes a pandemic plague leaving its few remaining inhabitants as bloodthirsty ghouls. The real stars are the visual effects that reduce Manhattan into a rabble encrusted no-man's land/ghost town with eerie preamble to a lethargic last act yet still remains a jaw-dropping "How'd-they-do-that"? ethos. (Dir: Francis Lawrence)
