Advantages: Good Cast, Nice Effects
Disadvantages: The Editing affected the pace in places

I have to disagree with the first review. YES some of the concepts have been used before in Movies, BUT these concepts were used first in both Warzone (a Wargame set in the Mutant Chronicles Universe) and in the RPG Mutant Chronicles. No lighting problems for me, as I bought my copy (the Bootlegs drifting around on the net are very 'dark').

A few years later he's released as a reformed character, but we soon discover this isn't the case and is after The Infinite. He's the usual over the top camp despot hell bent on taking over da yooniverse innit. Cue the Doctor and Martha to get there first. This gives them time to get ... Read review

Advantages: Very Enjoyable
Disadvantages: None

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 ...
...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. All in all a movie I enjoyed and would watch again, Recommended. Greg. ... Read review
