I am Legend

Cast Away with zombies. Will Smith carries it well with charisma and the best canine sidekick since Mad Max’s mangy dingo-thing in The Road Warrior. But as good as he is, he can’t keep you from poking holes in the plot. Lots of flawed zombie logic leaves many unanswered questions. Not the least of which is: why do the zombies move so fast? (It’s funny that I don’t question that they’re ZOMBIES, just that they move too fast for zombies. Which is ridiculous, right? I mean, how should I know how fast zombies move?) Anyhoo, it’s a big summer movie in December. They didn’t reinvent the wheel, but it’ll do for a star-driven zombie fix.

    I loved it because the fear and possibility of the situation seemed not too far off, real...perhaps that doesn't mean much coming from a therapist/biased towards worst possible outcome. The 'zombies' moved fast because they were always racing against the clock...shit, I don't know. I took it in as an average movie watcher, assuming speed was part of the mutation. I wanted to know how come they seemed to have a hierarchy-the one leader guy....if they mutated completed away from human norms and humanity they wouldn't have had a leader, right?
