Now that the initial shock of I Am Legend s sequel announcement has worn off, let s talk a little about how Will Smith s sci-fi blockbuster could move forward.
Now streaming on:
The opening scenes of I Am Legend have special effects so good that they just about compensate for some later special effects that are dicey. We see Manhattan three years after a deadly virus has killed every healthy human on the island, except one. The streets are overgrown with weeds, cars are abandoned, the infrastructure is beginning to collapse. Down one street, a sports car races, driven by Robert Neville (Will Smith), who is trying to get a good shot at one of the deer roaming the city. He has worse luck than a lioness who competes with him.
