Storyline: Robert Neville, a doctor, due to an experimental vaccine, is the only survivor of an apocalyptic war waged with biological weapons. The plague caused by the war has killed everyone else except for a few hundred deformed, nocturnal people calling themselves "The Family". The plague has caused them to become sensitive to light, as well as homicidally psychotic. They believe science and technology to be the cause of the war and their punishment, and Neville, as the last symbol of science, the old world, and a "user of the wheel", must die. Neville, using electricity, machinery, and science attempts to hold them at bay.
Title: I am Legend
Starring: Will Smith
Released in 2007
Storyline: Robert Neville is a scientist who was unable to stop the spread of the terrible virus that was incurable and man-made. Immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and perhaps the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague -- The Infected -- lurk in the shadows... watching Neville's every move... waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered... and quickly running out of time.

ReplyDeleteSame here. Even though I cried, I loved the Will Smith one, but I'd love to see the other older ones. [will try to find them] :)
ReplyDeleteZOMG! I cried at the dog part in the Will Smith one!
ReplyDeleteThe other 2 are interesting considering they are all taken from the same idea.
The writer actually helped out on the Vincent Price version but he didn't like the way it came out so he had them list him under a pseudo name.
You can actually see the Vincent Price version on Youtube. A lot of his movies are on there ;)
