Plot

A cure for cancer has morphed into a deadly airborne virus and those it doesn't kill it turns into blood thirsty cannibalistic mutants. Virologist Robert Neville is stranded alone in New York with these neighbours from hell, immune to the virus and desperately searching for a cure that will make them less inclined to take a bite out of his arse. That is pretty much it, this weak adaptation of a dark and intriguing book was originally made into a much more effective and disturbing film, 'The Omega Man', back in the 1970s. Watch this as a big budget Will Smith action drama, with some fabulous CGI vistas of a ruined New York, and "I Am Legend" is enjoyable hokum, but that is all.
