I Am Legend (2007)

Based on the novel by Richard Matheson (1st ed. 1954).

After mankind has been almost completely wiped out from the planet due to a virus, an immune man spends his time surviving, trying to make contact with other survivors and researching a vaccine.

This is the third cinematic version of Matheson's novel. It is well produced and well directed, falling short only when characters are forced to interact and exhibit the typical illogical bursts of temper which have become the trademark of recent Hollywood films.

Rating: 51
