I Am Legend
Robert Neville is a scientist who was unable to stop the spread of the terrible virus that was incurable and man-made. Immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and perhaps the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone.
Critics Sentiment
Opening scenes of deserted Manhattan with deer hunting
Sam is infected and Neville strangles her
The film drops dramatically from the emotional peak of Sam's death to the problematic CGI-heavy infected dogs attack, losing 1.0 points as visual effects issues compound emotional devastation.
I Am Legend starts exceptionally strong with universally praised visuals of deserted Manhattan and Will Smith's compelling solo performance, maintaining solid scores through character development and flashbacks. The film experiences a significant decline during the middle act as CGI issues become prominent and the story shifts from psychological survival drama to conventional monster movie, culminating in a divisive ending that splits critics on whether it honors or betrays the film's earlier promise.
