I saw the Omega M.... what do I remember the eyes ( all white light like a demon) and people walking around...the mutants....;How many versions are there of wars....? The film is intended for entertainment, not a document on survival on ChemicalWarfare agents, for that you would have to go to the Database of Defense Department and see how all the population in USA or any part of the globe can counter Chlorin, Toxins, and all bio-chemical weapons and agents in the market of future War. How many versions of Walden Two do I see in the film industry ? We cannot Maintain Continuity at all Times because we are agents of change. Nada es immutable y todo es mutable. So to those Pseudo-purist....we( BG) also want to play in movies I don't care how many positions you have seen it, I still like doing it...!

This movie seems to be shooting for years already.

Author Richard Matheson's 1954 novella "I Am Legend" has been butchered on film three times: in 1964, 1971 and the most recent of which is this Will Smith in-name-only debacle. It could have been worse---at one time Arnold Schwarzenegger was slated to play the lead! Matheson's clever twist on the vampire tale is still in print and it's only about 160 pages---do yourself a favor and pop over to B&N and pick up the original work and skip the overblown Hollywood explosions, machine guns and muscle cars in Smith's version, which has little to do with the novella' s interesting character study.

I think this is a remake of Tha Last Man On Earth, released in 1964.

Is this a remake of The Omega Man ? Basically, yes, though I'm sure there'll be some differences. The Omega Man was a very good movie that does not need to be remade. Chalk this up to the play-it-safe mentality that's taken over the movie industry. Churn out remakes and sequels rather than actually taking any risks.

Is this the same film crew that has blocked off the East Side Greenway bike path under the Brooklyn Bridge for a MONTH AND A HALF? Cyclists who travel here are now forced out into some very dangerous traffic feeding in and out of the FDR and Bklyn bridge. Would the city close a street for this length of time for a production crew
