I Am Legend

"Castaway meets 28 Days Later."
I Am Legend Stars Will Smith in another attempt to save the world movie.
Robert Neville (Smith) is the last man on Earth looking for others and an antidote for this wicked spreading disease.
 This all happened when a scientist finds a cure for cancer only to have it turn horribly wrong, into a lethal intoxication that leaves 99% of the population as bloodthirsty zombies.
Neville's only friend is his dog and the many manaquins that he's set up around New York City to talk to.  It's been 3 years and he's losing his mind.  He leaves traps to catch these zombies who can only come out at night and does tests and experiments on these zombies and rat zombies as well.  Will he find a cure or will the Zombies finally track him down and kill him ending the human race.
Watch to find out. 
The first half of the movie was pretty good and held my interest.  There's a few flashbacks to how this all went down but it's quite short and they could have told a little more back story in my opinion.  The zombies were disappointing and were too computerized for my taste.  A definate step down from the Vampires in 30 days of night which I thought were done quite well.  The movie just kind of ends and it seemed like the writers ran out of story and just quickly made up an ending. 
Still, entertaining and a good movie to come on out and see to kill a few hours.  People here in Chico seem to like it at least on opening day, Most Shows sold out.
6/10  Mildly recommended
