I Am Legend (2007)

 

Years after a plague kills most of humanity and transforms the rest into monsters, the sole survivor in New York City struggles valiantly to find a cure.

Competent doomsday flic with a fascinatingly convincing setting in Manhattan, but with some flaws in the story (which takes some unreasonable liberties compared to the original novel).

On re-watching:  good entertainment, and Will Smith does a good job in the title role.

Maltin**1/2: "Third screen version of Richard Matheson's novel...benefits from Smith's charisma and physicality but falls back on horror cliches hen it comes to the zombies."
