So if we must watch someone wandering about aimlessly as the last man on Earth, it may as well be someone who can hold our attention like the charismatic Will Smith, star of “I Am Legend.”
| I AM LEGEND |
 Director: Francis Lawrence Cast: Will Smith, Alice Braga, Dash Mihok, Charlie Tahan, Salli Richardson Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence Running time: 100 minutes |
(Vincent Price and Charlton Heston took on the role with less success in previously cheesy adaptations of the Richard Matheson sci-fi novel, 1964's “The Last Man on Earth” and 1971's “The Omega Man,” respectively.)
