Robert Neville is a scientist who was unable to stop the spread of the terrible virus that was incurable and man-made. Immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and perhaps the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague -- The Infected -- lurk in the shadows... watching Neville's every move... waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered... and quickly running out of time. Written by Warner Bros. Pictures

My Review
The film and book, I Am Legend, caught my attention one day while I was channel-surfing on my TV. At first I missed the opening scene and I was lost, but after a brief moment at the computer, researching what the movie was about, I knew what I had missed. As the story carries Robert Neville, played by Will Smith in the movie, through countless nights of being alone and staying alive in a society of mutant victims. Personally, I do not know how he was even able to stay sane with only a dog to keep him company for such a long time, yet seeing that he does inspires me and makes me think about how I would be in this senerio. I pictured myself trying to research medical solutions to help save the mutant victims, staying alone night after night, finding food and using whatever was left behind to keep myself alive when I had to sleep at night. Then the movie lead Robert Neville down more tedious and testing roads, leaving him completely and utterly alone without even his dog after some mutant canines bit the dog, forcing Robert to kill it before it changed and bit him.
I could not fantum being in such a terrible situation, being so alone and still working on saving New York's mutant society in order to save the mutation from further spreading. Thus, allowing the New York civillians who were all forced to evacuate the city to someday return. The worst part, to me, was how Robert had to leave his family. He had to live every day not knowing how they were doing, knowing his child was growing and his wife was without him. It would drive me insane knowing I was missing my family and for what? Curing a disease that was trapped in New York and already contained from the rest of the world may be important, but I think Robert stayed because he would have wanted someone to cure him if he was bitten and made into a mutant victim.
