What It Is: An old Heston film based on the 1954 book I Am Legend.Why I Watched It: I was intrigued by the upcoming Will Smith picture and decided to do a little research.
What I Thought: I don't know if it was the production value, the plot, or Heston himself, but the movie felt so much like Planet of the Apes it was ridiculous!
It was weird in that unquantifiable 70s sci-fi way. It had a good concept, but would be so much better (and possibly easier to connect with) if it was reproduced now.
I'm glad their doing just that.
Highlights: Um... the face that they're remaking it?
Who Should See It: Hard-core Heston fans and NRA card holders.
How Soon: I'd just wait a few weeks for the Will Smith version. It looks good!
