Review of I Am Legend

I am Legend is filled with laughably, fake looking infected "people" who look like they were taken straight from a bad video game. They are literally colorless and bring no tension or suspense to the film. That leaves Will Smith as the last man alive to liven up the movie. He does well as a scientist who has spent the last few years of his life on a quest to cure the virus. The only conversation that he has through most of the movie is with mannequins and the best scene is where one of the them pops up somewhere else ands Smith's character questions it at gun point to see if it's real. When other people finally show up, they are just as forgettable as the infected. The director also unwisely chops up the flashback, showing it in pieces throughout the movie, despite it being painfully obvious what happened to Smith's family. Disappointing variation on the end of the world that somehow made a ton of money.
