It ain't rubbish, but it didn't get near living up to it's hype.

It seemed to me that a Yank saw the empty London scenes in 28 Days Later and thought: "i fancy doing that with New York".

Now you just hit the nail there, i thought this reminds me of something and u got it 28 days later.

However i did enjoy the film watched it Thursday night, ending was a bit lame though & could have been done better.

Actually, I Am Legend is the father of all the zombie type movies....including 28 Days Later :cool:

I Am Legend is a 1954 science fiction novel by Richard Matheson about the last man alive in a future Los Angeles, California. It is notable as influential on the developing modern vampire genre as well as the zombie genre, in popularizing the fictional concept of a worldwide apocalypse due to disease, and in exploring the notion of vampirism as a disease. The novel was a success and was adapted to film as The Last Man on Earth in 1964, as The Omega Man in 1971, and again in 2007 as I Am Legend.
