I Am Legend

'Will Smith did an excellent job.. you won't feel so bored because of his impressive acting skill..'

Finally i watched this movie on Christmas Day (it has been postponed twice due to frens can't make it..) never seen the trailer of this movie before and what attract me is the superstar - Will Smith.. the multi talented actor who has been voted as one of the smartest actor recently..

Here are the plot of the movie : -
A genetically re-engineered measles virus called Krippin Virus or KV, originally created as a cancer vaccine by Dr. Alice Krippin (Emma Thompson), rapidly spreads and 90% of the people on the planet by the end of 2009 are killed, 9.8% are infected but survive, while the remaining 0.2% are immune when it mutates into a lethal strain that is transmissible through the air and blood. The infected survivors initially exhibit the early symptoms of rabies, but then degenerate into an animal state driven by hunger and blind rage. Military virologist Robert Neville (Will Smith) is the last healthy human survivor in New York City and possibly the world. The "Infected" people react painfully to UV radiation, forcing them to be nocturnal. Avoiding sunlight, they hide in buildings during the day (in groups called "hives" by Neville), swarming out at night. Dogs and rats are also susceptible to the virus. By 2012, Neville has not seen another normal human being since the virus' outbreak three years earlier, and suspects that the Infected have succeeded in killing the remainder of the immune survivors. Outnumbered by the infected, struggling with the effects of interminable solitude, Neville is running out of time as he seeks a cure.

Basically a doctor has innovated a cancer vaccine which believed can cure nearly 100% of the cancer illness but at the end it cause lot of people died and those infected had turned to become 'Darkseeker' who are something like a zombie and only can come out at night to hunt for bloods.. Will Smith who are a virologist is the last healthy human survivor in New York is working hard to find the solution and try to cure those darkseeker..

It is something similar to '28 weeks later' but this movie is more focus on finding the solution than how those infected zombie attacking human.. in term of story line i would prefer this one and no doubt Will Smith did an excellent job in this movie else it may be a bit bored bcuz his role is the only normal human being who lead the whole show.. i have a mixed feeling of the ending bcuz finally he has successfully found the solution can cure those darkseeker but he and the dog have to die.. sigh.... and on the other hand, although he has found the solution but how are they gonna safe those darkseeker who has lost their human mind.. catch them one by one??
