I Am Legend

I liked this movie. Lyndsae went in with the impression, from others who had seen it, no less, that it was "sad" and expected a drama. It was no drama. I call it a horror film, though Lyndsae would put it in Action. It is a remake of The Omega Man. It is a big budget Will Smith feature. It is not future Cast Away. I think I would call it a zombie movie? Maybe? Anyway, I enjoyed it. There would some good thrills, some make you jump moments. I tried to nail down what the point was, but had trouble. Was it science is bad? Not exactly. Was it science is great? Not exactly. It echoed some of the sentiment of Charlie Wilson's War, be careful what you wish for, or, don't assume the outcome you desire will turn out to be good in the end. Anyway, I enjoyed it. I like Will Smith and I thought he was good.
