I Am Legend (2007)
5/10
Did I liked it or not?

Warning: Spoilers
Alright, the movie is both, good and bad. The scenario of a cure spreading is realistic, the scenes of empty NYC are great, Will Smith is, well, good. Also, the explanations come at the right time (10% of worlds population surviving, of which only around 12 millions were immune, while the other 98% of the survivors turned into monsters)

However, here its starts to become strange. You'll feel more strange at the end of the movie than at the start, as just a lot of things will feel not logical.

Why can dogs get infected but lions can't? If there would be lions, I would at least think cats would be immune as well. Where are they?

Why the hell did the survivors not took a island somewhere? Like Hawaii. I read/watched much more logical stories. This is just highly unrealistic. Also, an evacuation based on apparently not-save-running "scanners"? Hell, yes!

Enough of the complaining about how unrealistic the movie was. Another thing which just went on my nerves was the reaction when the noticed the not-anymore-zombie-girl. Why did they not tried to show her to the zombie "boss"? It's like they hided here... also, did they just hide in the oven? How did they get out, with more zombies around? Just very strange scene in the lab...

The village in the end is also a bit strange. In such a situation, there would be massive re-population events, so every woman should be pregnant, and tons of young kids should be around.

Despite all the complaining, I liked the movie. An hour longer, more realism in the story, and it might have been really good. So it stays special but average.
