For a movie that tries to instill realism, the vampires look like they were ripped out from the Resident Evil 4 cutscenes.

werent RE4's "zombies" normal people(mostly)

If a reason is to be made, we could say that :
1. Robert was already on the verge of insanity, hence he did not value his life anymore.
2. He wanted revenge so badly due to the deaths of his family and Samantha to the extent that his rage clouded his rational judgement.
3. He did not believe in the so-called sanctuary in Vermont despite Anna's insistence, hence he did not even think that he'll survive to reach there. He probably wouldn't want to go there as well since he didn't believe in God and he refused to leave Ground Zero.

add more: tongue.gif
4. 3 years he's been alone,he wishes nothing than to end his misery
5. he fulfilled his promise to his daughter,found the cure....his purpose has been fulfilled

fit the ending for robert to realised he had to sacrifice for mankind.

but overall, lots of potholes in the story can be fixed.

Despite our own conclusions as to why Neville went harakiri, I think the one reason showed by the director was that Neville wanted the lady/kid to survive and not end up like his wife and kid and not insanity or anything. He did it to preserve their lives. Since his objective was so, a person who could create the cure sure is dumb enough not to realize that he could have survived tongue.gif

And as for the zombies, okay not RE4 but you get what I mean. The CG for the vamps just weren't impressive.

overall this is not an action movie, it potrays more on the mentality of the man in isolation - Neville, the despair, the anguish, and seemingly hopeless situation. but he could still go on... which is admirable.

yeah, its kinda like in the war...the general/commander won't send his entire army at once. But at the end, when he found Dr Robert's house...and it was already all dark...he sent his like a whole battalion of darkseekers sweat.gif

i dunno what everyone else saw in the trailer,but it pretty much sums up the movie,for me.. blink.gif

best part of this movie,are the characters.

For me, I Am Legend = Cast Away's loneliness and isolation + 28 Days Later's Am I the last man on earth? + Resident Evil's zombies

Still a good movie thou... but it's a little bit too short for me and the ending is kinda anti-climatic. But if it's too long then we'll see lots of people falling asleep in cinema, since I already saw a few fall asleep at a 12noon show.

It's hard not to compare it with Cast Away, since both share the similarity of isolation and loneliness. Well, both has their imaginary friends like Fred the mannequin and Wilson the volleyball. But in terms of acting, Will Smith did it pretty well, but still not good enough, still miles away from Hanks acting in Cast Away. wink.gif

I still like Sam the dog the best thumbup.gif

Btw, do you notice Neville put the lady mannequin (the one he's interested at) browsing at the Adult section? brows.gif

One thing I'm not happy about it's the CGI of the zombies (which suppose to be vampires like anyway), seems like the production have spend too much money on clearing the NY streets, and spend less on the CGI and the effects of the explosions. Sorry to say those "zombie" CGIs are just like a ripped off from the resident evil game. They are just too fake and not realistic enought! sad.gif I'll be more convince if they could just use real human actor for the "zombies" instead of being lazy and use only CGIs. doh.gif

Also I wish they could skip the part where

yeah.... who knows what Robert did with the mannequin at night? brows.gif

About Anna's God referrence, she's from Sao Paolo so chances are she's a devout and religious Catholic hence it would make sense that she shares "god's vision".

I know you're not supposed to think too much and just enjoy the movie but those plot holes are just way too obvious.

Why did he need to sacrifice himself at the end? He's found the cure and there's enough room in the emergency hatch. Why not hide in the hatch, throw the grenade as the glass is about to break, close it and come out the next day?

Even if he stayed inside the hatch, the Darkseekers will definately come looking for them if he is still alive. That is the reason why he sacrificed himself. They want him.
