I Am Legend



Not the best post-apocalypse zombie movie(28 days later being my favorite), but nonetheless does a great job at creating the lifeless city aspect. He is the last man, but he is not alone.

The zombies and lots of the movie are done with CGI, but Will Smith always plays well with CGI. Will Smith pulls off the scientist act, perhaps more accurately than most as he shows the frustration involved in repeated failure(what science really consists of). His co-pilot Sam(the dog) is the most convincing dog I've seen in a movie. Whatever trainer is behind the scenes has really done an awesome job.

Another mediocre zombie movie for the library. CGI is easily accepted, and acting is well done. Environment is wonderfully construed.
3.5/5

I too love this movie. The dog really seems like your best friend throughout the movie until that awful moment. Nice simple review.
