More on the movie
December 27th, 2007 
Jason Ok so I had a chance to sleep on it and I thought of a few things I didn’t like about “I am Legend”. Just things to ponder.
- Who built the lab in his basement? It sure didn’t look like something he had cobbled together after the outbreak. There were some really large things in there too. The Plexiglas doors for example. How did they get down that stairway under the stairs? I mean you can’t believe for a second that lab was there before the outbreak. No way that would have been allowed in the city.
- How did the infected survive the winters? It was three years since the outbreak and we all know New York winters aren’t exactly tropical. Most of the infected were wearing dirty scraps for clothing: the captured female for example. Did they have infected parkas and boots stashed and we just didn’t get to see them cause it wasn’t cold enough yet?
- How come that red helicopter carrying his wife and kids took off so slow? Weak. Talk about setting up a scenario. If Neville saw the other helicopter freaking out why didn’t the pilot of the red copter? Isn’t that his job to see whats going on around him? Lame.
- How come all the Immunes were driving tricked out Fords? I know what product placement is but seriously. Both Ana’s and Neville’s vehicle were pretty much identical. It’s like there was a dealer that specialized in vehicles for viral outbreaks and they both just happened to shop there? Use a little imagination folks.
- How did Ana get her tricked-out Ford on to the island? I seem to recall it had been isolated from the rest of the world. Did the military miss a bridge somewhere?
- If Neville was so darn smart how come he didn’t realize the infected that came out in the sun to identify him,set the snare trap where he lost Sam and came after him on the pier was the same guy and was just looking to get his girlfriend back. It was pretty obvious he was pissed that Neville snatched his lady and was wanting her back. For such a great and brilliant scientist, he sure missed some big obvious.
Ok enough ranting. If you saw anything else you thought was dumb, comment away.
The movie
December 27th, 2007 Jason Well we went to see I am Legend. Before I get to the movie let me say that the previews rocked. The Ironman preview looks so good. Maggie had to tell me to settle down. The new Narnia movie looks good too. The Adam Sandler pic with Zohan in the title looks very funny too. He’s due. I don’t think Dark Knight needs any comment at all.
So on to the review. I’ll save you some boring reading and just say, “Jason, thumbs up!” and “Maggie, thumbs down”.
Cool concept, good sacrifice, decent baddies, so so cgi, good ending. I know lots hated it but I liked it. I don’t think Maggie’s comments are necessary suffice to say I am not picking the next movie. Or the one after that and maybe not the one after that. But she still loves me.
