Legend movie afterthoughts…
Jan. 28th, 2008 by Al 
After watching this movie ,it strike a chord on how the plot reflected post 911 and peak oil,bird flu scenerio. The new cure for cancer turned disease outbreak that killed off most of the populace in New York city backdrop filled with silence leaving survivor Will smith and his german shepherd roaming the City for food and the infected undead for experimental vaccine leave the viewer feeling a sense of helpessness.
Isolation sets in as Will smith who played a Military officer virologist have flashbacks about the emergency prior to the massive outbreak of the virus with his wife and child leaving the city seems to replay the terror plot during 911 with mass evacuation amidst police and military forces.
And the following year Smith who seems to be immune and his canine pal Sam sets off on a perilous search for vaccine and survivors reminds one of the bird flu outbreak that caused much hysteria at the height worldwide.
Lack of energy supply surely will be the end of the plot if vaccine was not found though the movie did not show this part of the crisis.With people dead and survivors living in fear and lack of skilled and experienced engineers and other oil personnel, who;’s going to drill and shipped the oil and provide the much needed energy..
This movie is a slow one but ends off with a bang as smith fights off the infected night seekers , it’s much more than an action film but a timely reminder of the dangerous world we’re living in
