not enough people are understanding the point of the alternate ending, and are just focusing on neville surviving or not surviving and the cure. the alternate ending is supposed to be focusing on the infected. neville realizes that they aren’t just monsters, and are intelligent and care about each other. he realizes that he’s a monster in their eyes, like the boogeyman. a legend. so he decides to stop working on the cure. he doesn’t want to be a monster anymore. he returns the alpha’s mate, and instead of killing neville, the alpha spares him, showing thankfulness.

i mean it would be a safe pick as "zombie apocalypse" is a pretty safe pick for a game genre

Just watched the movie. It had the alternate ending. I prefer it. It makes it far more clear that there is an alpha. And also gives the darkseekers a shred of humanity. We see earlier that they are capable of making a trap. But with the alternate ending, we see that the alpha wants his mate back. And that's why they're at his home. Smearing the butterfly was more believable to me than the cracks randomly forming a butterfly. People saying the original ending makes more sense for the title. But you don't have to die to be a legend. And he would still die later as civilization rebuilds itself. Also, you can't tell me that he wouldn't leave the city after his home was destroyed. His whole reason for transmitting the radio signals was that he had food, shelter, safety. He doesn't anymore. He also found the cure, so there was no reason to stay at ground zero. It just doesn't fit with me that he would kill himself just to take out the alpha and the 3 or 4 other darkseekers in the room.

your forgetting the reason why he killed himself in the original, to save the others, while yes the cracks forming a butterfly was a bit far, he'd have to stay in ground zero because thats where the infection would be strongest thus making a cure more potent and effective, giving up the cure to save his own ass was kinda dumb and ruins alot of the buildup to the climax, sure killing himself can do that too but these things literally kill themselves to stop a helicopter just to take at the few passengers. their sense of self isnt there in that part so why later does one see fit to save one at the cost of more than its worth. its possible to have alphas but in a society like theirs it would seem more fitting the stronger ones would be the alphas, not the more sentient ones

I believed and still do, it was because he wanted to die. He lost his wife and kid and probably felt he was partly to blame for it. The only family member he had left was the dog who he had kill with his own hands because it turned. We can see earlier in the film he was talking to mannequins to try and keep some sense of sanity that was barely hanging on by that point. Only saved by the dog and his continuous work. He saw an opportunity to have someone continue his work once he found the cure, but no longer had the will to keep living without his family and wanted to be with them again.

As hero, he realized that the darkseekers aren't monsters, but he is. He kidnapped and killed so many humans to find a cure that didn't need to exist. Robert saw himself as a criminal and to atone for his sins, threw away the only chance at a cure and apologised. The only reason I like the original ending more is because Robert killing himself after losing everything made more sense than him leaving "ground zero". Of course, this is nothing but my opinion and you shouldn't take this to heart.

The alternative ending makes more sense and I like it better. It explains how the mannequin got where it ended up (the monsters put it there and copied the trap our hero had made earlier, showing that the monsters have intelligence). The OG ending ends with the monsters just being mindless monsters and this leaves a plot hole in that it fails at acknowledging the monsters were doing intelligent things earlier in the movie. In failing to explain how the mannequin got there we are left to wonder that it could have only got there by the protagonist putting it there himself and forgetting about it or going insane and doing it to himself because he's losing his mind. The alternative ending also shows up what the title of the movie ACTUALLY means, our hero is a legend known by the monsters who speak of HIM as being the monster. To them HE is the monster. He is the only human and he hunts and kills them, they don't know why he does it so they assume he is evil. That is the real reason he is a legend.

It was pretty obvious that they set the trap for him. The writers made it literally as obvious as they could without showing them do it. I've never once thought or heard of anyone else thinking that he set up a trap for himself in a fit of insanity. Just because they demonstrate the capability to learn and follow a leader's instructions doesn't mean they're ready to start building Notre Dame or something. They're still largely driven by the desire to eat(survival) and rage. Ignoring that because they showed signs of "intelligence" would've been an actual plot hole, not this one you made up.

It’s a little more accurate to the book. In the novel, they were highly intelligent, to the point where they had their own society. Will Smiths character was their monster, he kidnapped their kind in the day and experimented on them to find the cure. They were scared of him. He was legend.

Although the "alternative" ending is closer to the book, I like the original ending a lot better. Neville's character manages to save the woman and boy and is redeemed for not being able to save his own wife and kid. From a narrative perspective, it is a lot more satisfactory than having him start a new life.

Alternative ending was better: Everyone’s talking about Will finding out out they have emotions and care about their own. But nobody’s gonna talk about how after Will says “sorry.” To their leader the leader HIMSELF finds out Will ALSO has emotion too. They look at him as some boogeyman that steals their loved ones from them, some sort of urban legend. They think of him being heartless and doing things out of random. But in this scene alone he can see Will also has emotions and can see he knows he was wrong and for a second is confused and intrigued of Will at the same time. Kind of shows a grain of interest in him not being so different, but takes his girl back home with the rest of the group.

I Am Legend stems from the books impression that he's a legend to the darkseeekers in the way that he's like the boogeyman. They fear him because he hunts them down.

I think the “bad ending” is the better one, it’s provides more character development with him never really having a purpose even if he thought he knew what he was working for. But by giving his life to save the cure he was finally given that reason for his suffering and his death was the final task to ensure it. By having him live his development is cheated of that final task to let him fulfill his mission

He lived, but realized he's been behaving like a monster to a new society... And now he has to live with that. I believe that's character development and depth, not some suicidal heroics. An ending like that is, for me, unoriginal, with nothing new to offer, seen it a thousand times. The closer to the book on the other hand is fresh and exciting.

Original/bad ending is super unoriginal. “Will Smith blows the monsters up with a grenade and sacrifices himself, becoming a legend.” We have seen that ending for the 10000th times. The alternate ending is art. Will Smith realizes he is the monster. These vampires have intelligence. They are capable of love and affection, just like human. They have been rebuilding society in their own ways. Will is the one who keeps kidnaping and killing their kind. He is their boogeyman. A horror figure. A LEGEND.

I find the second ending more better and it makes more sense to the title

I don't view either of the endings as the "true" ending, rather both as alternate universes. They both have the pros and cons, and feel it's up to the viewer to decide which ending they like the best. Very similar to a video game, specifically Mass Effect. These two endings are like the Paragon and Renegade choices.

Like this if you’re here after seeing the announcement that Will Smith will star in a sequel with Michael B. Jordan 👏🏽

Oh shit! This ending makes much more sense... and is like 100x better what the hell? why use the other one?

The ending where he lives was the original ending. The one that was made during production and intended to be the final conclusion. But it tested poorly with american audiences so they changed it. They wanted an action send-off rather than an ending that made you think and second guess what the movie has led you to believe. What Neville has led himself to believe the entire time.

Ur looking too much into it. Its a ZOMBIE movie! By ur logic what r the odds that the one person whos immune happens to be someone capable of creating a cure? How have the zombies survived 4 years, what have they been eating?

One ending is will smith sacrifices himself for the cure and the another ending is will smith sacrifices his cure to KV virus for himself despite of possessing knowledge for the cure

I can't believe that they thought him blowing himself up was the better ending. its not even close to the book and underminds the hints that these are more than just zombie vampires. I think people don't get the darkseekers, in the book we find out that they are intelligent self aware creatures they are the new humans and Neville just couldn't see that until the end of the book. the alternate or as I like to call it the true ending is more thought provoking then him just blowing hisself up for no reason. he could have just got in there too and thow the bomb after. the darkseekers being an intelligent race and not just monsters is a great twist and I am legend the name of the book and the movie is Neville's position among the darkseekers he is their Dracula, he is their boogie man who comes when they are sleeping and takes them, he is their legend. these darkseekers are more then just dumb creatures they are the next humans. I don't get why people couldn't see that. the point of the book was that neville tries to find a cure for what he thinks is a virus but its actually evolution and there is no cure for evolution. thats what the book and the true ending is about but the theatrical ending is just him blowing up and finding a cure. it changes the story of the book and the movie for the worse. instead of this movie being thought provoking now it becomes just a zombie movie. if you like the theatrical ending good for you but the true ending is the best one because it makes you think if neville was the hero or the villain.

My favorite Will Smith movie ever!

In Portugal, the alternate ending was the one that was originally released, at least on cable TV. The first ending that you showed (the big bang ending) does not have enough depth, namely, a major twist in the book was that Neville realizes he is the monster, in the "good ending" we see his realization of the others (the "vampires") as people who formed ties with each other, not as just monsters. The alternate ending is more in line with the book. I actually find it more interesting than the big bang ending. In an interview Will Smith revealed that he liked more the "good ending" than the "big bang" ending. Thanks for sharing the "good" alternate ending.

Alternate ending is so much better. He has to realize he's the Legend they're afraid of and the cure in his head. Now, where's a sequel?

After years of ignoring this movie coz of all the stick the ending got. I finally watched the movie and felt the original ending left alot to desire. The alternate ending feels more like a Outer Limits ending which inspired further thoughts and a possible rewatch just to find breadcrumbs. I mean he says that their humanity is gone yet this "man" set the same trap he(Neville) set for them. Which makes one believe that they still human and not monsters. Almost like they are our pseudo-evolution. Yes a cure would help BUT to be made a superior being , superior only in the fact that cancer isn't a problem anymore. Is good enough for me.

The alternative ending is obviously the best decision

ANYONE HERE AFTER "I AM LEGEND 2" GOT ANNOUNCED IN THE ALT. ENDING?!

My heart frickn beating now.

I wish we could get an ending where Sam survives.

It's such a shame they changed the original ending because test audiences didn't understand the implications of the true ending. The entire point was that they didn't want a cure - Neville was the monster, terrorising them, not the other way around, hence the title. When he looks at all of the photos of the infected he's killed is when he realises that he's not the only one trying to survive and understands what he's done. He is a legend but for all of the wrong reasons.

I think that both ending are very good. Different, with different drama, but both amazing. With the alternate you see the humanity in the bad side, with the regular ending you have the drama of the sacrifice of Will for the humanity.

I lost it when he lost Sam.

The alternate ending is actually the cannon ending 😳😳

I don’t like the studio ending. After rewatching this movie, Will Smith feels nothing but shame after he’s confronted. He terrorized sentient creatures he thought were zombies, and the more thought provoking ending is the more powerful in my opinion. This movie could’ve had a really powerful story of these creatures not just being monsters, but sentient, thinking, emotional people that have just devolved socially. The studio ending recreates these creatures as brainless pieces of flesh, that do nothing but breath air from their mouths. It kind of makes me angry how a studio can change such a great ending, into a half baked one.

When I bought the special edition DVD that included the alternative ending years ago, I didn't understand how it hadn't been used in the cut that was shown in the cinema. It's a better ending and leads to a sequel. Good thing the producers got it. The ending that was shown in theaters is gruesome and anticlimactic

Ending 1-Will smith sacrifices himself Ending 2-Will smith sacrifices his cure for KV virus

Well, I’ll be damned. This movie is one of my favorite movies of all time (top 5) and I never knew there was an alternate ending. What’s funny is, while watching this, my boyfriend had never seen the original ending but had seen the alternate.

I been watching this so many times. I never knew there was two endings

I feel both endings are good but I prefer the original because there was a finality to it that PA movies seem to be scared to execute. But both ending convey the messages. The dark seekers are intelligent, Sam was his connection to Marley, redemption, faith, & Neville was a legend in a good & bad way. The good way is obvious the bad way is he was a legend to the Darkseekers as the man that harms, captures & experiments on them i.e the alphas wife/mate. He became the monster in this new 🌍. (Like the book)

Who else is here in 2024 doing a bit of a refresher now that part 2 has been announced with Michael B. Jordan... great movie, remember it vividly... similarly to I, Robot (easily his most underrated film which requires a sequel as well, please and thank you), it was ahead of its time, in both concert and execution. Oddly enough, hearing Will announce it on Full Send podcast and mention the alternate ending is what brought me here.... never owned the DVD... definitely watched in theatre, and I want to say at home as well (decades before streaming services were even discussed), so curious why I never came across it....maybe it was a late edition...either way, def looking forward to this one...

The alternate is the best and humanity touched..... saving lives and trust building..... gave me goosebumps when he healed her......
