Hey, that goth-ninja-zombie-vamp-chick he had in his lab had a tight little body on her. He coulda gone over to Atelier and kop'd some CCP lingerie for her – he'd a bin good t'go.

Yo for real!

Also, why was he wearin' all the same shit er'day?! I mean, there was nobody else in the city; Go run through Atelier and rock some different steez every day. But nah, he has to wear those same run down cords...

I would wear the most ridiculous shit if I was the only person around and I had my choice of NY retailers.

^^true, and I would have definitely driven something more exotic than he did.

All in all pretty enjoyable in my opinion, better than most shit at the theatres.

Perfectly streaming, screener quality version at surfthechannel by the way.

dont post links.

we get in trouble for links like that.

I enjoyed it for what it was. I didn't go in with extremely high expectations, I wasn't expecting to see a cinematic masterpiece or something that I'd spend the next few nights dwelling on or trying to recount all the little plot intricacies and other bullshit. Though another post apocalyptic movie coming out that I have extremely high expectations for is the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road. If done right, it could be fucking incredible. It would be great to see a post apocalyptic environment that had no CGI at all.

[thaiison]

this was an OK movie, I always like Will Smith's movies nad he's doing his job in this one too. But i think it ended too fast.

SPOLER-ISH****

did anyone notice the mannquin's head move? Thought that was pretty good..

****

[riskyrukus]

^^ noticed that similar movement as well, for a second even i believed that the manniquin came to life. But i liked the movie for its way to sticking with basics - survival depends on hunting, keeping away any intruders, etc.

[DaBestSpoona]

I'm surprised with all the free shit he had available to him, that he didn't build supped up armored SUVs, mini vans, sports cars with UV lights and chain saws sticking out it sides.

He could have hit up Home Depot and built a huge wall or moat around his townhouse.

[Charlie Delta]

I'll get back to this thread after I've read the book, am curious now.

Anyway I always really dig this atmosphere, and thought NYC looked really good.

Some things:

- so nobody looted when they closed of Manhattan and shit hit the fan? I thought it looked all very neat and stylish.

- 10 minutes before he gets tricked by the undead/vampire guys by stepping in a quite elaborate (psychological even) trap he says that one exposed himself to sunlight and that it appeared as if they have devolved away from even their basic survival instincts???

- all other points have been noted already...

back later

[snugglepony]

yeah... he didn't say anything about survival instincts, but something about the last remnants of human societal structure where now gone. even when he said that, though, i thought he was fundamentally misinterpreting things: the zombie guy who briefly exposed himself to the sun was pretty obviously upset that neville captured the woman zombie -- hardly the action of an unsocialized figure.

[Charlie Delta]

I think he did actually say that by exposing himself to the sun he actually went against his basic survival instincts. Wich could be compared to, for example a mother animal walking towards a predator after her baby has been snatched by it...

[its swanny]

the guy went into the sunlight because neville caught his woman.

neville was way off on his anlysis of their personalities.

wow, i just figured this out.

the head zombie was the one who stuck his head out.

he learned the trap that caught neville by studying the trap neville set to catch said zombie's woman.

he was seeking revenge on neville.

that's why he was such a beast.

the moral of the story is don't mess with a zombie's woman.

that's why he freaked when he got downstairs and saw her in the lab.

[jeepster]

what bothers me is, he says "the cure is in the blood" but like, he had the zombipire chick on ice, and thats why it worked. and they sorta leave it open that if you cure them, does that return brain function? are they retarded after being cured?

[Magsåvningsreserven]

it's left to the imagination, above average film making, but im still not so sure about the trap neville got caught in

did he set it and forgot, or did the creatures do it? It's pretty ambigous, on the one hand smith is going crazy mentally and so could have forgot but on the other hand he was visibally distraught at seeing 'fred' in that place and in the novel the vampires set a trap after watching neville for ages, but then neville insinuates they are stupid?

and wtf was all the headbutting about? so stupid

[Charlie Delta]

Movie has got NOTHING to do with the book, should've just named the movie and the guy differently...

[beatle]

movie was really great - but the ending sucked....

[Ichigo100%]

the ending did truly suck.. I feel like it ended so abruptly.. I mean come on, when the zombie kept smashing his skull against the glass, there was a hole in it big enough to throw the grenade through and he couldve escaped with the woman and the child..

[Charlie Delta]

Ah so apparently I finished the book already, but there were a couple of short stories behind it that didn't have anything to do with the I am legend story. Not reading those now.

Back on point, I'm always curious how the writer of the story feels about a movie being made from his story but then it gets changed so much.

I mean, they even changed the whole idea behind why he is "Legend"

Apart from that, I don't think I have much to add to what has been said already, and Sid was really on point with what he said.

Iso, you finished the book already?

[Ichigo100%]

I may have to purchase this book..

no man

he was waiting for the absolute last moment

because once the grenade detonates, everyone dies

the glass wouldn't have saved him

remember that in a lab, there are compressed gasses in the near proximity

the ending was not bad because a conclusion would have taken too long

I think Neville wanted to die once he discovered the cure. Mainly because he had nothing else to live for because his family was dead and everything.

Cast Away + 28 Weeks Later = I Am Legend

Cast Away + 28 Weeks Later = I Am Legend

????

you hit the nail on its head.

the trailer made the movie look alot better than what it turned out to be. I love will smith; it was good acting, but I don't think it did the book justice.

[chantheman]

personally I liked omega man better,

so did my dad. i didnt know it was a remake until he mentioned it at the beginning of the movie
