September 9 - I Am Legend

This movie has a scene that happens today – September 9. I hope you will enjoy this movie and watch it tonight.

I AM LEGEND

A supposed cure for cancer based on genetically modifying the measles virus goes awry, killing 90% of humanity and turning 90% of those left alive into vampire like Darkseekers, who are  violent, sunlight shunning beings who try to kill any remaining normal humans. Robert Neville is a military virologist who witnessed the death of his wife and daughter during the attempt to seal off Manhattan Island. He chose to stay behind and three years later scrounges for food amid the ruins with his dog, Sam. He also conducts experiments towards finding a cure for KV, as the disease is called. He uses animals and captured Darkseekers. One day Neville is caught in a snare and only escapes at dusk, but he is attacked by group of infected dogs. Sam is bitten and later dies. Blinded with rage Neville attacks a group of Darkseekers, but is overwhelmed and is only saved by being rescued by Anna and Ethan, two normals. She says she is going to the safe zone in Vermont, but Neville expresses doubt such a place exists. Unfortunately Anna did not take the precautions Neville usually did to hide his scent and on September 9, 2012 [1:17:33 to 1:29:47] the Darkseekers find and attack Neville’s house. They retreat to his basement lab and discover that his latest vaccine has worked on a captured Darkseeker. He draws some of her anti-body containing blood and sends Anna and Ethan out through a tunnel. Neville then blows up himself and the attacking Darkseekers. Anna and Ethan reached the safe zone, where the fight to cure the rest of humanity begins. 

This is the third time this story has been told, but this version is as good, if not better than the other two. Lots of good action sequences. A good script keeps you on the edge of your seat.
