The only safe haven from the Darkseekers is daylight, since they experience severe reactions to UV light. The remaining people transform into Darkseekers - pale-skinned creatures with a savage lust for flesh, enhanced strength and speed, and no apparent higher brain function. 1% (about 12 million people on the planet) are immune to the virus. 90% of people who are infected with the virus die. However, it then begins to have much more lethal effects and mutates from a contact-borne virus to an airborne one. Great way to end the year.Initially it seems that the virus is a success, with more than 10,000 cancer patients cured. All in all, you will not be disappointed. Although there are some things in this film which are left unexplained, the intensity of the creatures and the thickness of the plot makes up for it. You don't really get a lot of those these days in general. It's nice to see an original, amazing movie released before the end of the year. There are a lot of sequences in the film that are disturbing but along with that, takes you to the edge of your seat! I would have to say that this is one of the best films out this year. Will Smith's performance is outstanding and makes a great Robert Neville. Overall, this movie delivers great action sequences and a great story, along with a shocking ending. Luckily i got to see an early screening of the film with a friend and I have to say that this is a disturbingly realistic film that depicts a post-apocalyptic New York being overrun by the mutated victims of a widespread virus. When I first saw the trailer for I Am Legend, all i could think of was, "I have to see this movie!".
