'I AM LEGEND' is created by a director called Francis Lawrance distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The movie was released on December 14th 2007 with a budget of $150 million.
The story was Set in September
2012, Robert Neville a military virologists lieutenant is the last living human
in New York City. A measles virus created by Dr. Alice Kirppin (Emma Thompson)
meant to cure cancer but mutated a strain. It spread throughout the world
killing 90% of humanity becoming vampiric creatures leaving Robert to be the
last human being to be on earth surviving while looking for other survivors by
using AM Radio broadcasts.
The
average rating for this film is 6.4/10. This film is mainly targeted to a broad
audience between the age of 16 – 45 also attracting people who are fans of
horror. The movie combines 3 different type of genres; Sci-Fi, thriller and
Action, ‘I AM LEGEND’ is based on a book ’28 days’ re-telling the story into a
cinema screen that gives high jolts of obstacles but short emotions of
excitement, thriller and action, this movie was not awful but not great either. I
think this movie didn't show the best ability of Will Smiths acting skills and
I expected more of him in this film as I thought this genre suited him the
best. Comparing, ‘I AM LEGEND’ to 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire hunter' has the same content of having a human character killing all vampire creatures except 'I AM LEGEND' is set in the future and 'Abraham Lincolns' movie is set in the past with a historical context to it of Abraham of being Americas 16th president.
Will Smith signed to 'I AM LEGEND' in April 2006. He said he took on 'I AM LEGEND' because he felt it could be like Gladiator or Forest Gump, he then found his character Neville to be the toughest acting challenge since his last movie 'Ali', he said ''when your on your own, it is kinda hard to find conflict'' because of the films dark tone and exploration of Neville going insane which means that Will would have to restrain himself from laughing and stop from doing numerous takes. To prepare for this role, Will Smith visits ''Centers for Disease Control and Preventation'' and met a former prisoner of war. ''I AM LEGEND'' holds a question ''can he find a reason to continue?'' or the death of everything around tells him that he shouldn't be the last living human on earth. He also citied an influence in Tom Hanks ''Cast Away''.
