I Am Legend.
===========

I remember watching the original film 'The Omega Man', starring Charlton Heston. It was a bit poor and massively different from the book.
This latest version starring Will Smith is slightly different from the book but closer to the mark.

~The story~
===========
Robert Neville is the last 'Normal' human alive in the city of Los Angeles and possibly the last in the world.

His mind is constantly prayed upon with doubts and agonies of why only he survived, if he should carry on alone and if there is a cure.
Whilst out one day he encounters a wild dog but it soon becomes his companion if only for a short while.
Every night he has to barricade himself inside his home with his dog whilst undead roam the streets.

In the act of slaughtering as many of the undead as possible he fears he himself is becoming a monster and instead turns his keen mind to finding a cure.

He discovers there are 2 distinct stages to the virus or vampirism, The infected and the un-dead.

His struggles are as much in the mind as physically against the creatures of the night.

The ending of the movie was explosive and had a good twist.

~The Acting~
===========
The acting is superb and Will Smith is at his best. The sense of loneliness for a good 3rd of the film is eerie and the amosphere is superbly done.
The flash backs to his family are at times disjointed but are clearly a requirement to the plot.

~The Blu Ray~
============
~Video Blu Ray~
The Blu Ray Edition is simply stunning to see. The start of the movie where he is around the city in and amongst the wild life is amazing.
The contrasts are clear and Blacks are deep across the entire scale
It is worthy of the title Blu Ray.

~Audio Blu Ray~
The Blu-ray comes in both Dolby Digital EX Surround and DTS-HD High Resolution. And both tracks are Very good, There is apparently newer things on the way such as Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks, so even this may soon be surpassed.

Worth the money and a film to be watched again and again

All in all a movie I enjoyed.

Recommended.

Greg.

Will's character's sense of being alone was quite eerie and I found myself getting lost in the acting completely and worrying about his character, that's superb acting in my book! Great review x
