I am Legend

there not zombies or vampires lol, just because sunlight kills them doesnt neccerasarily mean that. There just infected with a virus.

Good film imo, why did he stay there though when he could have swam accross the sea bit seperating the island from the mainland.

obviously you never paid attention to the movie, because he says it several times why he stayed there

hint: ground zero

the film was amazing, but it did have a lot of holes in the plot/storyline, if they had made the film an hour longer, and filled in all the holes, and not rushed the last parts of the film it would have been a lot better

the cure isnt his blood, its some sort of thing he's invented using his blood, if it was his blood dont you think a medical specialist/scientist like him would have tried to use that first, since he himself couldnt get infected through "contact" or the "airborne" versions of the virus? and through his numbering system that he used it seems as if hes tried millions of different combinations of "special blood mixes" before he finds one that worked on a rat

its obvious the trap was set up by the zombies, but it isnt obvious how they done it, because in the film they have very low intelligence and are animal like, full of aggression and nothing else, also the whole scene with the three dogs was stupid, if that guy showed his face for his wife (ill get back to this in a second too) why couldnt the dogs skip over 1 foot of sunshine, they would have been slightly bruised by the sunlight, it would have been better if the sunlight was a couple of metres and the dogs waited til there was a foot left and jumped through it, but dogs are pretty stupid are they not so when they got infected they would have become more stupid, and either got very scared of the light, or didnt understand the whole principle.

when the guy shows his face, its so obvious that will smith tagged his wife, yet he plays such a smart man he cant figure this out? he's meant to be going crazy but that plot is seriously messed up, yeah i know he aint socialised with another person in 3 years but come on, he had his dog, recorded tv programs, dvd's, music, etc. i could understand if you left someone on their own in a dark hole for 3 years they might become loopy but for a guy in his situation no way, unless it was caused due to stress (trying to find a cure relentlessly) or depression (losing his family and friends), which for such a strong character i cant really comprehend.

with the dog being so smart, it was a bit retarded of it to chase a deer into a dark building, you would have thought it would have learnt by now that the baddies hide in the dark and it wasnt safe.

also the whole attack scene, the zombies attack the lights yet the dogs couldnt jump over 1 foot of light, also when they are attacking it was as if it was all planned, and they had told each other what was going to happen, and how they were gonna do it, you would have thought the main baddie would have been at the frontline but he had waited at the back until, the lights had been destroyed and the bombs gone off, thats another thing with smith having military experience you would have thought he would have used every defense system he could get a hold of to setup some super base, with gun turrets, hundreds of flashlights, etc.

another thing which caught me by surprise was, how did he manage to get the keys to every shop there was? it would have been an impossible task

why was he hunting the deers?

why didnt he take a lion?

why was there grass and weeds and trees growing in the middle of the roads, city, etc.

it had only been 3 years had it not? seemed as if a few hundred had passed

if the zombies had run out of humans, what were they living on?

i dont undertsand how that woman and the little boy had managed to survive for so long when they both seemed a bit thick, and you would have thought the kid would have had some real mental issues due to him being so young, and having a load of zombies terrorising him at night, the dog was certainly freaked out at night with will in the tub

the movie was good, but if stuff had been explained a lot better, and the movie was made a lot longer, maybe even 3-4 hours to get the full story in, it would have been spectacular

Another film you guys should check out if you like Will Smith is...

Pursuit of happyness

He really is one hell of an actor

Agreed. That was the film where i really saw another side to him, and it showed how much of a superb actor he was.

If only this film was a bit longer, but still fantastic :).

I watched it again with my missus and I don't know why I initially thought it was HIS blood. Since so many other people were under the same impression I can only presume it's just particularly badly shown in the movie - edited into fast scene with vampires trying to break through the glass and it's easy to miss. He draws the cured woman's blood with both hands, then mumbles to Anna - "the cure's in her blood".

We can only presume Anna then takes it in a freezer van to survivors colony and then have a lab and are able to reverse engineer it and then mass produce it. ;)
 
another thing which doesnt add up is the amazing coincidences that happen.

how did the zombies know which mannequin to use?

the woman and and the kid happen to hear the broadcast and go to the bridge on the same day he decides not to, omg come on what sort of BS is that

the woman and the kid decide to hang about til nightime at the bridge when they know in his broadcast he says midday when the sun is at its highest and brightest, why would you stay til night when you know thats only when the baddies are gonna be there?

the movie is retarded in some places but was still a good movie

ive seen straightforward planned out movies which explain everything yet were crap, the movie was made badly but its still a good movie

yeah obviously the cure was in the zombies blood - because she became cured, now all they had to do was set traps for all the other billion zombies out there, chain them up, stick them in a freezer, then inject them with it, hardly worth it, when they had lost all their hair, and most of their features, would have just been better off killing all the infected and starting over from scratch

Were they not on a boat? They docked and people got infected & died from zombies?

They could've taken a container ship, filled with food stock for the city of New York. That's enough to keep a woman and a kid going. :p

I liked the movie, I really did, but I hated it also.

"They are so unlike humans"

[Next Scene] Infected holding a dog on a lead, and the Infected 'complying' to the 'roar' of the 'leader'.

I mean, come on.
​

I can sit here, extremely confidently, and say I could improve that script by an absolute huge amount. They really did mess it up for me with that oversight.

Thankfully for Mr. Will Smith, his new movie Hancock looks absolutely hilarious and original. :)
 
re the cure, it was in his blood in a way, but not in a manner that was transferable, hence the experiments to find a way to pass it on.
It's the first step in transferring his immunity that was the hard one, after that it's pretty easy (once you've got the viable version you can use it to cure other people, then take samples from their blood to give you more).
They were making vaccines that generally worked 200+ years ago for some diseases using very basic equipment, and the same techniques still I believe work for producing more of many vaccines once you've got a first sample that will transfer to others.


Overtonebliss, remember the guy was basing his reports on what he'd observed, and what he thought of the infected - basically he let himself be fooled into believing that they were similar, partly because that was what he expected, partly because he had not encountered a smart one before, and partly because if they were still intelligent it would raise some questions about his treatment of his subjects (it's one thing to experiment in usually fatal tests on what are almost animals, it's another if they are still showing signs of intelligence/human traits).
Basically, he was a good scientist in some ways, but wasn't an impartial observer hence missed clues and made assumptions about the behaviour of the infected based on what he expected.
 
Really liked the film altho there were many plot holes.Enjoyable film.
Want to ask one thing?Why was he chasing the deers?What did he need them for?
 
Food i suppose?

And my answer to why he didn't shoot the lion is that he doesn't want to kill anything else in the withering world?

I just wish the film was longer and went a little more in depth :(
 
He didnt kill the lioness out of mutual respect - at the end of the day he was doing exactly the same as her, except she got there first...
