I Am Legend
During our trip we managed to take in a couple of movies at the local Cinema just on 42nd St. We saw I Am Legend starring Will Smith. I had no idea what the film was about going in but Richard had wanted to see it and seeing as it was set in New York, (with a sighting of the hotel we were staying in within the first 5 mins of the film), it seemed like a good idea. I'm not really a huge fan of the zombie last man on earth scary thriller genre but I did enjoy it for other reasons. Will Smith is the last man left on Manhattan as he is immune to the virus that has killed the rest of the population. We see the island as it would be with no inhabitants for 4 years or so, which itself is worth seeing. The zombie/vampire like creatures, that the humans turn into, however were far from believable and instead kind of ruined the scare factor of it as they were so obviously CGI. Will Smith, I thought, was excellent and it fairly rattled through the story what with it being around an hour and a half unlike it's counterparts of late which have laboriously ran into the 2 1/2, 3 hour mark. But yes at the end the New York audience gave a round of applause. They do know that Will Smith isn't behind the screen and can't hear them, yes? 23:24
