I Am Legend (2007)
An enjoyable big budget take on Richard Matheson's classic novel of the same name. Even though it's previously been filmed twice prior (Vincent Price starred in The Last Man on Earth and Charlton Heston was The Omega Man) there's still a sense of wonder created by seeing an overgrown and derelict Times Square totally devoid of life other than deer and lions.
My main take from this version is that Will Smith and his faithful dog were doing just fine.
Then his dog is sadly killed and Smith meets up with a woman and her child and everything gets f*cked up.
The moral of the story is that you are better off on your own without others ruining it all.
Oh and come the apocalypse, should you survive, you'll be reliant on physical media.
