IamLegend was the 2007; sci- fi horror adapted from the 1954 Francis Lawrence, and a remake of the classic The Omega Man. The film starred Will Smith, inwhat was to be his first horror film. Opening in late 2007, the film grossed well over $500 million worldwide.
Having heard mixed reactions to the film I figured I had to watch it for myself to see what all the fuss was about, having not see the Omega Man, IamLegend was a totally new film for me, I didn't no what to expect and didn't no the general backdrop of the film. Having seen the film I understand why people had such mix reactions about the film, however I thought it was one of the most decent horror films to come out for a while, and hopefully by the end of this review you will understand why.
Plot:
A deadly bacterial virus once used to treat the incurable cancer has ...
Advantages: Some good moments of suspense. Good scene setting. Disadvantages: Lost it's story to some daft horror scenes.
***IAmLegend***
This film is a kind of disaster movie; but not in the usual pattern that I was expecting. I enjoy watching end of the world type scenario's like The Day After Tomorrow or Independence Day - big action films, when humanity pulls together to save the world. However, although the film does centre on disease killing off the population, here the similarity ends.
The 15 certificate is a clue that this is not family entertainment and the film is a lot darker than the aforementioned films.
The main hero of the piece is played by Will Smith as Robert Neville who appears to be the sole survivor in New York of a plague that has rapidly killed off the inhabitants of the city.
The film follows his search for other possible survivors; a search that takes years rather than weeks. Robert Neville is also a scientist (as luck ...
Advantages: Good set design, good acting. Story line had potential to be good. Disadvantages: The way the film is filmed is too similar to alot of other films, why make this film???
enjoyable, the first half of the film is very boring, there is little dialogue (as Robert is alone in the city he has only his dog Sam and the manequins he has placed around the city to talk to), and the film is very quiet- this could have been done by the film makers to make the final part of IamLegend seem more exciting, this was a trick done by Takashi Miike with his Japanese Horror film Audition to make the audience blatently bored with the first half of the film, only to be shocked at the violence and psychopathic-ness of the final half, unluckily for him, this resulted in the biggest number of walk-outs during the film to be recorded. This could be what the film makers of IamLegend have done with this film, but as with Audition, it just made me want to turn the TV off.
This is definitely not one that I would recommend to any film ...
