The movie version of the Richard Matheson book, "I Am Legend", that is least like the original story. Definitely a case that Charleton Heston was doing this for the money not because he believed in the project. Decidedly dated (very 70's). Still it is an interesting film that should be owned by all completionists of the "I Am Legend" translations. The Vincent Price version, "Last Man on Earth" and the recent Will Smith version are recomended above this version.
The Blu-Ray transfer is solid. It looks as if it was digitized from the cleanest print available. Not much as far as extras. It was well worth the $10 that I paid for it.
Nice to see an old favorite from my youth, the DVD played well on my X-box, but had bad audio problems on my new DVD player. Bought it used, the disk was in good shape visually, but the cover looked like the previous owners were mad as it had some broken parts.
I could see getting another updated copie later.
This is an excellent film of the apocalyptic genre; made even better by its transfer to BluRay. Heston is, as always, the consummate hero figure. However, I'm amazed at the ignorance of so many reviewers who are so out of step with the quantum leap in technology, that they are totally unaware of the necessity to have a BluRay player to play BluRay movies. Hello! what is wrong with you people?
