40. I am Legend

A few days ago, I watched the movie, I am Legend starring Will Smith. I thought it was a really cool idea as it was based on a book, but after reading the plot summary of the book I thought the movie didn’t do the book justice. The movie is about a post-apocalyptic wasteland where most of the human population has been infected by a virus that turns them into vampiric-like creatures. Without spoiling the movie, it involves Will Smith fighting and hunting the creatures while trying to find a cure. What the movie did wrong was that it didn’t show the human side of the creatures as the book did, which was a core element of the story. So, the movie is pretty much just a stereotypical zombie apocalypse story, whereas the book has deeper themes regarding the emotions and humanity of the infected creatures.
