I Am Legend

This story about spreading a kind of virus and people who got infected changed to be a zombie. They hunt human, animal and eat them alive. Their activities start when the night comes. In that horrible condition, there is one man who survives from the accident. The question is, when everybody got infected by that virus, why he and his dog don’t?

I think, his life only depends on food that he collects from door to door and I’m not sure when the food is up, what happen next. He lived in his house that covered by heavy equipment, doors and windows from iron. Anyway, the survivor name is Robert Neville and his dog name is Sam.

Job, that he does everyday is to create and develop a kind of anti virus from his blood sample and injected to the animals. Then, the other job is waiting. Everyday he goes to the ship board when the sun is highest in the sky and broadcast with all AM frequencies, then waiting for other survivor. One day, when he and his dog are in the ship board, he sees a deer and decides to catch it. But, is not the deer that he caught but something else, zombie.

Robert Neville injects the zombie with the anti virus he creates but is not work. When Robert Neville caught the zombie, he saw the other zombie look at him with anger. Now, the zombies have a new target, Robert Neville. The zombies planned to catch Robert with a trap, the same trap that Robert used to catch their friend. When the day is come, Robert survives but his dog Sam doesn’t.

You can’t imagine the sadness that Robert fell in that situation. He just lost his dog. The only friend he got die, because of the virus. In night, Robert tries to revenge, but it doesn’t work because too many of them. When he is in unlucky situation, he got helped from a woman, who came from nowhere.

There is one thing that the woman didn’t. The camouflages. In the night, all zombies in New York City come to hunting them. They try to fight back but again, the lost of number. Robert Neville brings himself and the woman to the lab in the basement. He tells the woman the way out after he gives her the complete anti virus, then Robert explodes himself and all the zombies using grenade.

I Am Legend is not about the great Robert Neville in his action to kill zombies, but he dedicate his life to find the cure, to resurrection the humanity. Be a light in the darkness.

The End
