First: I AM LEGEND
Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable...and manmade. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City...and maybe the world. But he is not alone. He is surrounded by “the Infected” - victims of the plague who have mutated into carnivorous beings who can only exist in the dark and who will devour or infect anyone or anything in their path. For three years, Neville has spent his days scavenging for food and supplies and faithfully sending out radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. All the while, the Infected lurk in the shadows, watching Neville’s every move, waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind’s last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But his blood is also what The Infected hunt, and Neville knows he is outnumbered and quickly running out of time.
Awesome read, awesome background.... I thought it would make for an awesome movie. But you see, the problem is they remade the movie once before in the past and called it Omega Man. Omega man sucked. This new I AM LEGEND will follow Omega Man more than its own original movie. My Verdict? Ill watch it, but when I think a black and white movie made with 1/100th your budget was better, you did a bad job.
Second: Day of the Dead
"the film is a typical zombie film, virus infects town, people start biting each other, virus spreads by the bites, and a handful of survivors try to make it out of town alive. In this one the military is brought in to enforce a quarantine on the small town of Leadville, CO because of the mysterious virus. Once they realize the virus eventually makes people start ravenously attacking each other, it's too late... EXCEPT for a few."
Another remake and another fuckup. Instead of keeping to the post appocolyptic theme of the first movie, with a pack of scientists holed up in a bunker with a military detachment after the rest of the world has fallen.... this time they made a completely new 'begining' scenario just to make things look good, another thumbs down from me.
