Overview

Robert Neville is a scientist who was unable to stop the spread of the terrible virus that was incurable and man-made. Immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and perhaps the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone.

Smith turns in a terrific performance, nailing Neville's angst while allowing room for humor.

When they do, banging their heads against plate glass as movie zombies always do, I started needing something else to think about.

I wouldn't dream of giving away the ending, but it's not likely to satisfy either the action crowd or Matheson fans.

I Am Legend is a grenade that goes off when least expected. It has more horror than heart, but it is never boring.

Rex Reed, New York Observer

So often, sci-fi is overproduced, but I Am Legend doesn't look like a CGI extravaganza. It looks like an edgy suspense movie shot on the fly in New York City after the fall. And because of that, it's all the more effective.
