A buff and chiseled Will Smith, looking as if he's ready to take another stab at playing Muhammad Ali, tears through the deserted streets of Manhattan in his Mustang Shelby in the striking opening scenes of "I Am Legend." He's got a high-powered rifle by his side, his German shepherd Sam in the front seat, and he's out hunting galloping herds of deer, which bounce through the midtown streets, now overgrown with weeds and cluttered with deserted cars frozen in permanent gridlock. Smith is playing Robert Neville, the last man alive in New Yorkâand perhaps on the planet. A deadly virus, the fatally ironic result of a "cure" for cancer that backfired, has wiped out all but those few who, like Neville, are immune to the virus.
Until I read this, I was interested in this movie. But if this review is right, this movie sounds strikingly similar to a description of the movie, "28 Days Later", another movie about a plague-stricken world where humans that get infected by a virus turn into blood-hungry zombies.
In other entertainment news, Knight-Rider is making a comeback. This time, KITT is going to be a Mustang Shelby!
