Review: I Am Legend

I watched I Am Legend online. It had a great premise, but I felt like it left me wanting something more. The premise of one man left after a viral outbreak that turns all of NYC into zombies and all he does is try to work on a cure is awesome. There were some great scenes in it. Will Smith did a great job showing the paranoia and fear of the zombies and his slowly decaying mental health as a result of being the only human for 3 years.

The thing is that the ending was a disappointment. I saw the alternate ending which was WAY better than the real one. I like the idea that the two species learn to coexist. The rest of the movie could have had more fighting, more failed trials of viral cures, and much more. Guess we;ll just have to accept it the way it is. I'd give it two out of five stars.
