movie review

I am Legend




Movie runtime: 101mins

Language: English

Country: USA

Rated: PG13









I am legend is the number 1 movie in the UK for the second week straight and has raked in £3,740,369 this weekend alone, and a total of £18,469,146 since it was screened at the box office on the 26th December 2007.
I am legend is a drama /Sci-Fi movie created by Mark Protosevich and Akiva Goldsman and starring award winning actor Will Smith .
The plot of the movie is that Robert Neville (played by actor Will Smith) is a military scientist who is the only survivor of a biochemical disease which was supposed to cure cancer 3 years previous. With only blood thirsty zombies and his trusty dog, Samantha, Robert is trying to discover a cure for this disease and to find out any other people who might have also survived.
This movie has so far managed to achieve 2 nominations for best sound 2007 (Mixing and editing) and Best actor 2008.

I feel this movie is quite moving and very convincing. Being the only actor on screen for the majority of the movie Will Smith does an extremely good job in getting the audience to feel the loneliness and giving us a picture of what it would it would be like to be the only survivor and last man on earth.
Will Smith also gave us humor within the movie which helped to make this movie more interesting and less tense.
There is also an effective use of flashbacks in this movie which helps to give the audience an incite of how we got to where we are at in the movie.
I won’t give away the ending of this movie but overall I will say this is a really powerful and fascinating movie and if you have not seen it yet you should go check it out it really is worth it!!


I give this movie 4/5 thumbs up
