Surely in the days of the current social quarantine, we tend to find movies with content related to epidemics or apocalypse to follow, right? Understanding that desire, WebTech360 will introduce to everyone a movie title even though it was released 13 years ago, but it still feels good and extremely consistent with what the world we are experiencing. Come on, let's review the movie I am Legend (2007) - I am the legend .

Plot: A strain of virus appeared in America with symptoms like rabies causing people to go mad and lose consciousness, leading to the entire population of New York City and many other places becoming infected and dead, except Robert Neville because his body is immune to the virus above. What will life be like in Robert's dead city and what dangers him every day? Watch movies on Netflix to get the answer.

I am Legend (2007) has many similarities with the current Covid-19 epidemic situation such as the fact that the virus is supposed to originate from the laboratory, the rapid spread of the US forced the isolation of New City. York , people run away and the consequences of the epidemic are extremely dire. In addition, the fact that Robert is alone in a city, repeating the tasks to do every day also makes viewers think of being isolated at home in the past few days.

The beauty of I am Legend (2007) is that the fascinating storytelling, mixing past and present helps us better understand the branches of viral transmission and how Robert adapted to daily life. Besides, viewers also see the love between Robert and the dog Sam as well as the loneliness and the way he makes his life more colorful.

Not only stopping at post-apocalyptic survival, I am Legend (2007) also created many suspenseful and tense episodes for viewers by letting Robert have to face with the victims of the virus. Accordingly, the above virus does not kill people, but turns them into crazy, violent creatures and do it all for food, similar to a form of zombies.

The more later, the story of the film becomes more dramatic and the end of the film is really a satisfying ending. WebTech360 will not reveal the content of the movie, but by the end, you will understand the meaning of the title. Through the above story, I am Legend (2007) wants to emphasize family affection, description of human loneliness as well as the consequences that we encounter when we are separated from society for so long. Besides, the film also helps us to believe in fate, dare to hope and go out of our comfort zone.

The minus point of I am Legend (2007) mainly comes from the fact that for most of the movie, everything is so quiet, there are not many dramas that make the film not really attractive to viewers. In addition, the film has not specifically explained some details as well as the plot is a bit heavy to arrange to create suspense for viewers. WebTech360 marks this part of the movie 7/10 .

Image - sound: Although the movie is made in 2007, the visuals, effects and graphics of I am Legend (2007) are still very good, satisfying and spectacular. The visualization of the virus-infected victims looks a bit like game graphics, but still creates a scary feeling for the viewer. The sound of the movie is so good, it sounds extremely good, there are even many scenes that startled WebTech360. So, I grade this section 7.5 / 10 .

Acting: I am Legend (2007) is like Will Smith 's solo performancebecause 2/3 of the movie only he and the dog interact. Our genius has really transformed into the character, making viewers feel the effort, loneliness, pain and sequelae that this epidemic leaves in him. The other characters did not have much acting land, so they did not leave much impression. WebTech360 marks acting 7.5 out of 10 guys.
