AT THE MOVIES

I had wanted to see this movie only to support Will Smith and his work and to help with his ratings in the box office. However, I was a little hesitant because I learned that I Am Legend (2007) was a remake of The Omega Man (1971) with the part of Robert Neville being played by Charlton Heston!


The Omega Man had also been a great movie, but, I can't help but wonder why Hollywood keep doing remakes when there are so many scripts and screenplays being shopped around, room enough to have a supply of new releases for years to come! At any rate, I pretty much remembered the story and definitely remembered the ending of The Omega Man. So, it was like, why go see I Am Legend when it's the same old story with the same old ending. WOW! This remake was awesome! There was more of a real heartfelt story centered around Robert Neville's character, more direction and a specific goal that resulted in an extremely climatic and powerful ending! So, now I understand the remakes or at least this one. Similar to the theme behind "The Six Million Dollar Man":

"Gentlemen, we can remake it. We have the technology. Better than it was before. Better, stronger storyline, Oscar and Golden Globe worthy!"

I don't want to say anything more about the movie, but, trust, if you remember The Omega Man, then you're in for a real treat with I Am Legend. If you are unfamiliar with The Omega Man, then it doesn't really matter ... you're still in for a real treat! (smile)
