Our take on I Am Legend

Francis Lawrence's 2007 science-fiction thriller strands Robert Neville, a scientist immune to a man-made virus he could not stop, as the last human survivor in a depopulated New York City and perhaps the whole world. For three years he has sent out daily radio messages, desperately hoping to reach anyone else still alive. But as the film makes clear, he is not truly alone. The result is a lonely, tense study of survival, routine and fraying hope set against an eerily empty metropolis. It suits viewers who like their apocalypse intimate and character-focused, with dread building quietly rather than through constant spectacle. A melancholy premise anchored by isolation.
