I am Legend : by Francis Lawrence

Robert Neville is a virologist & the last man on earth : Year 2012

The crazy notion of curing cancer using the measels virus , led to a massive catastrophe wiping over 90 % of the human face on this earth.

Less than 1% were immune to the virus and Will Smith playing Dr. Neville was the last survivor. Each day in broad sunlight , with his pet dog , would go on a search for any survivors.

The film is set in downtown Manhattan , devoid of any life other than non-human species.Even if the human samples were there , they would be infected to the highest degree taking shelter in dark places reactive to UV rays.

Some noteworthy nuances :

• Playing golf on the wing of an airplane.
• Talking to mannequins just to converse.
• Creating AV of his experiment on recorder
• Reciting the dialogues of Shrek memorized to the limit

Will Smith has done it again with a powerhouse performance. He has turned into a sensitive actor post Pursuit of Happyness.
