I am legend is a movie that is about a Police officer in Manhattan who is a lone survivor of an apocalypse set in New York. Will smith is the main character, and also one of the only characters in the movie. As the New York Times put it, Will Smith does a great job of making the movie realistic. He does this by doing a great job of acting like he’s the last man on earth. There are many different conflicts in this movie, but the biggest one is when he found another person, which hasn’t happened for over 2 years. He becomes very sad after this because in the movie it flashes back to the beginning of the movie where he lost his son and wife during the apocalypse. Will Smith then becomes hell bent on finding a cure for this disease that everyone became effected by. The movie shows the conflicts that Will Smith faces by showing his life alone in the biggest city in America, with only a dog as his best friend. The movie pulls out many sad emotions in the audience, while also keeping them on the edge of their seats waiting for more. Critics agree that the movie I Am Legend does a great job showing the theme of not knowing what you have until it’s gone. Will Smith has nothing after the apocalypse other than himself, and empty city, and his dog. I agree with the because the movie keeps the audience on their feet and makes them wonder what’s going to happen next with Will smith and his adventures on living on earth as the only remaining healthy human, and his struggle to find a cure to this disease that has plagued the world. To me this movie is definitely worth your time and money because of all the ups and downs the movie had, and all of the emotions it brought out in you when you watch it.
