I am legend is one in a string of brilliant genre pieces to come out this decade, visually stunning, poetic, philosophical, together with a heart wrenching performance from Smith and a genuine curiosity into the human spirit.
The story is basic, very basic. And it's Will Smith that really raises it to the level of brilliance from average. It's a very layered performance, darkly funny, haunting and isolating, Smith as usual pulls it off to a tee.
The creature effects are decidedly average, it's when they can't been seen and it's dark that they do their best work.
Director Francis Lawrence really bring a sensitivity back to the genre film, his stylish debut, 'Constantine' proved him to have exiting potential. One can't wait to see what the future brings.
