Film GCSE: I Am Legend Section 1

I Am Legend is a 2007 science fiction film directed by Francis Lawrence. Here is a short synopsis of the film.

It is the year 2012. In the ruins of New York City. Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a military scientist unable to prevent the cause of an incurable man-made virus. Immune, Neville and his trusted dog, Samantha are now the last survivors in what is left of New York City and perhaps the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages in his desperate attempt to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague - The Infected - lurk in the shadows... watching Neville's every move... waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Neville is perhaps mankind's last, best hope, and he is driven by only one remaining mission, to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered and quickly running out of time.

One of the reasons that i pursued this film more than any other mainly revolves around the fact that Will_Smith is my favourite actor, i believe that in any given situation he can perform at a standard of uppermost excellence.One of the other attributes of the film that captured my interest was the plot. I believe that this is a thrilling plot because of the sense of realism, that it is possible for this disaster to take place. It is frighteningly exhilarating knowing that as technology skyrockets the possibility of this event will increase by a significant amount. Because of this reason i found the storyline gripping and exiting. 

The sequence of the film that i believe to be most powerful and effective is the first scene based on the fact that it is instantaneously interesting and from the start the viewer feels an apocalyptic Aura. A sense of devastation and disaster. The footage for this scene is shown below.
