Read Synopsis:

Robert Neville is a brilliant scientist in the army, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable and manmade. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City, and maybe the world. But he is not alone. He is surrounded by "the Infected"-victims of the plague who have mutated into carnivorous beings who can only exist in the dark and who will devour or infect anyone or anything in their path. For three years, Neville has spent his days scavenging for food and supplies and faithfully sending out radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. 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 his blood is also what The Infected hunt, and Neville knows he is outnumbered and quickly running out of time.

R-Man said:

This is one of the best movies by Will Smith. Even though more than half of the film we only watch him walking in out empty houses and play with his dog, he is still able to attract us to watch his literally lonely life. Though I still think Tom Hanks still rules in monologue in his Cast Away.

For a movie that has been made time and time again and contains some vampirism stuff, I am Legend is still able to draw crowds and even become a #1 box office for a few consecutive weeks.

The storyline is clear enough with a few backflashes explaining why Robert Neville, the main character, is stranded in empty Los Angeles in the first place, how he survives with his dog, what his reasons to stay alive up to what makes him a legend.

Verdict :

This is an awesome movie. You got to watch it. There is a thick psychotic element mixed with a great performance of the actor and a plot that has been proven time and time again to draw the crowds.

Watch it or prepare to be lonely!

The movie seems too scary for me to watch. But I can't keep my curiosity down. So I read some sources about this movie from the newspaper & some websites. Here are some notes that I can collect:
  • It's back to root Mr. Shyamalan movie. Means psycho, thriller, Alfred Hitchcock thriller like plus the traditional supernatural & emotional of the usual Mr. Shyamalan's movies nature. (The Sixth Sense, Signs, Lady in the Water, The Village). An of course as usual, include a child in the main characters.
  • The idea of the story came when Mr. Shyamalan on his way to New York, looking the green scenery at the New Jersey countryside from the windshield. Then he thought "What if the nature one day turned on us?" That moment, the structure & the characters of the story build up in his mind. It brought up some environmental issues that we are facing these days.
  • In this movie, the human instinct to preserve & avoid dangers seems gone. It goes the other way around which lead them to make suicide in the most unsuspected & gruesome ways. The main characters represent the instinct to survive. That includes love & care to pull them together.
  • In his own word, Mr. S said he wanted this movie to be "electric, clean & dynamic".
  • If the Exorcist is rated as PG13 movie, u can imagine the impact of the this R rated movie. Beware! Warning! Strictly not for children, pregnant ladies, soft hearted people & so are people with heart problems. (Note: The initial draft of the screenplay is actually has enough potential nerve wrecking impact but much to Mr. Shyamalan's delight when the Twentieth Century Fox studio, asked him to go to the extreme of tension & terror as to make it as an R rated movie).
  • It is released on Friday the 13th.

Verdict:

It's a very interesting movie to see. But yet have to be watched with extra caution. Regarding of the material of Mr. S' R rated movie. (gruesomely, graphic & violent scenes). If you up for it, then go & watch it... it's only 90 minutes. ;p

Do you know how the feeling walking in a cave full of insects and the feeling watching people around you eating baked-beetle and monkey's brain straight from it's head? For me, I think I'll lose my appetite for the week.
This second movie of Indiana Jones is really entertaining and funny, but also disgusting and thrilling at the same time. At the first time I really didn't expect this sequel will be this good. Usually a sequel is not as good as the previous movie. But, this movie proved me wrong.
With comeback of the trio, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Harrison Ford, this movie really shows itself as one of the best movie ever made.
