‘I am Legend’ - short review
In a nutshell: The post apocalyptic struggle of the single survivor living in the ruins of New York city - a good movie 
It’s the year 2012. The U.S. Army virologist Lieutenant Colonel Robert Neville lives a lonely but busy life in what is left of NYC. During the day he searches for food and useful stuff together with his German shepherd Samantha. In the night though, he barricades in his house, hiding from blood thirsty zombies, victims of a man-made virus that was supposed to be a cure for cancer 3 years back. Being the only immune human being and resistant to the airborne virus, Neville is driven by the search for a cure, one that he believes his very own blood is the key to. Despite his rational approach to the situation, Neville does not give up on hope for meeting another human being again, broadcasting a radio message on a daily basis. As over the time loneliness becomes more and more of an issue for Robert, he is becoming less careful in a fatal environment…
Flickcritique says: Director Francis Lawrence did not really stick to Richard Matheson’s original “I am Legend” novel. Still, he made a cool movie. The beginning is brilliant, with Will Smith walking around in half devastated and totally abandoned NYC. The pictures are very strong. It’s hard to call out the critic points without spoiling the movie for you, for that reason I just want to point out that a darker or rather logical ending would probably have been much more appreciated by the audience. Nonetheless, the movie is worth watching, particularly due to Smith’s single actor performance
Best in movie scene: Following his dog Samantha Robert finds himself in a completely dark building, the only source of light is a mini maglite mounted to his rifle. You don’t get to see much in these minutes, all you hear is the raising breathing rate, indicating the approaching danger… breathtaking 
Conclusion: A good movie that could have been great, if it was a little less heroic/predictable 
Still worth watching
