Movie Info

Robert Neville (Will Smith), a brilliant scientist, is a survivor of a man-made plague that transforms humans into bloodthirsty mutants. He wanders alone through New York City, calling out for other possible survivors, and works on finding a cure for the plague using his own immune blood. Neville knows he is badly outnumbered and the odds are against him, and all the while, the infected wait for him to make a mistake that will deliver Neville into their hands.

Audience Reviews for I Am Legend

  • Mar 10, 2016
    I Am Legend is suspenseful, has nice cinematography and visuals as well as having a good performance by Will Smith. The negatives I have are the CGI as well as the ending. The CGI looked very noticeable especially on the mutants and the ending I feel could've been handled differently. Other than that I Am Legend is a solid post-apocalypse film.

    You can either love it or hate it, but Will Smith's powerful acting is something you can never deny.

    Although the pacing in many parts can be a bit slow, and parts of the script don't work, I Am Legend succeeds mainly due to its eerie tone and excellent performance from Will Smith. It is an intense and satisfying film that will thrill viewers.
    Joey T Super Reviewer

    This post-apocalyptic zombie-based film is strong thanks to in part the special effect/CGI work as well as the strong lead of Will Smith. I Am Legend is graphic in the realms of loneliness and isolation and makes a solid film for audiences to enjoy. 4/5
