I Am Legend (2007) 6/10

Starring : Will Smith, Alice Braga, Charlie Tahan, Salli Richardson
Director : Francis Lawrence
Running Time : 97 mins

Robert Neville (Smith) is one of the last human beings alive following a mass pandemic which resulted from an attempted cure for cancer. As he lives his life alone with no one but his pet dog for company, we soon discover that many of the humans have been transformed into night-walking vampiric zombies who's only wish is violence and murder.

I was sorely disappointed by this adaptation of the classic novel by Richard Matheson. Not only have the makers changed the ending, they've changed the entire feel of the story, making the creatures seem like mindlessly violent monsters rather than the simple rational zombies of the novel. This would appeal to fans of action movies, but real hardcore sci-fi fans will most likely groan throuhgout this poorly thought through movie.
