Summary
Based on the best-selling novel I Am Legend by Richard Matheson, IAL is a story about how one man takes on adversity to try and reverse the destruction caused by a deadly man-made virus.
Excerpt from IMDB:
“Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable, and man-made. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and maybe 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. Mutant victims of the plague — The Infected — lurk in the shadows… watching Neville’s every move… waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind’s last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered… and quickly running out of time’
Thoughts
This looks to be a great movie! This theme of movie is really interesting – disease kills almost everything except for a lucky (or are they?) few that have to save all that they know and once knew (e.g. – 28 Days Later; 28 Weeks Later) .
I can’t wait to see this movie and write the SquidFlicks official review for it! =)
