I Am Legend

For our science fiction film project, the first movie that our group watched was I Am Legend. I saw this movie when it first came out in theaters and I really liked it. When I watched it again recently I noticed more things then the last time I watched it. I thought that this movie was really scary because it is something that could happen at one point. With all of the news coverage on the new H1N1 vaccinations, I cant help but be reminded of I Am Legend. In the movie, the cure for cancer causes a new virus. The virus transforms people into zombie-vampire creatures called Darkseekers and becomes airborne. Robert Neville is the only man living in New York who is not infected because he is immune. Throughout the movie he looks for a cure by testing on lab rats and occasionally infected humans that he captures. He thought that he was the only person in the world who was not infected but a woman and boy come to him. The woman, Anna, tells him about a colony of people who are not infected. Robert does not believe her. Later, the infected people follow Anna, Robert, and Ethan back to the house. They attacked the house and Robert Neville realized at the last minute what the cure was. He gave the cure to Anna and sacrificed himself to save them. At the end of the movie, Anna and Ethan find the colonly and five them the cure, the immune blood.
