Review of I AM LEGEND

I AM LEGEND - STORY: A man has to find a cure in his own immune blood to a deadly virus that wiped out mankind and created rabid people before the latter kills him.
I AM LEGEND - MESSAGE: Persistence, ability to face things, availing oneself of the help of others, faith, intelligence, adapting the world to ones needs, taking precautions and being responsible win the day.
I AM LEGEND - WIN: He was accurate as far as emotions, for the most part. And his responsibility level was accurate given human capabilities. In other words, he didn't sink to apathy, or if he did, not for long.
I AM LEGEND - LOSE: He seemed to lose it at one point in the movie, when a girl was pushing him, and he went out of character, but it wasn't totally implausible. The leaping and climbing ability of the rabid humans was not real to me. Also, their total succumbing to the virus seemed a bit too absolute for powerful spiritual beings in human bodies (which we all are.) When he slid to apathy, his behavior was consistent with apathy, but it was unlikely that he'd sink that low merely because of a loss. That is not an accurate source of suicidal behavior.
I AM LEGEND - EFFECT ON ME: My problems seemed much smaller. My appreciation for my fellow man came up.
