nothing but a long ass car commercial like transformers 
This made the alternate was much better to me.
They were organized, they set traps, they were a people.
Earlier in the film Smith's character takes the female creature, and the alpha male comes out into the sun to scream at him. Smith says something to the effect of it showing how dumb they were, that they didn't realize that the sun would kill them.
But they knew the sun caused damage, he was just pissed Smith took his girl and he made it his duty to get her back. Smith said it showed they had no humanity left when it was the creature's "love" of his girl that caused him to do that.
If he's one of the few people left on earth, Smith is the monster, he's the one going out disrupting the creatures way of life for research.

It seems like this ending leads up more to a sequel than the original, maybe leading up to more of a route that the book took. Remember in the movie will smith DOES notice that the infected do show signs compassion in that one instance during the trap scene, leading us to believe that these aren't just mindless flesh eaters, but he quickly brushes it off and the suspicion is dropped through the whole movie. This alternate ending brings that suspicion back.
I think a sequel was being set up and that cured infected was going to play the Ruth type character from the book.
As funny as it sounds this alternate ending follows more of the actually books route than the original ending.
Meh .
That CGI was
That's the only thing ...Will Smith movies have the WORST CGI ...considering the budget that man has.
But the movie itself (plot, action, theory)?

I'm surprised Will and that girl never smashed, considering they both thought they were the last adults and all.
That was the point of the original short story by Richard Matheson, that Neville was considered to be The Monster by the infected and they feared and hated him for his relentless preying on them.
But even changing the point of the source material wasn't why this movie sucked...a shytty script, embarrassing CGI and bad performances (the best actor in the whole damn movie was the dog) was what ruined I Am Legend.
The Omega Man played fast and loose with the Matheson's story too but it was an infinitely more enjoyable movie.
I Like Will Smith But His Movies Are Like Bad Pop Songs, At The Time Its So Big And Everyone Loves It But You Look Back On It Like "Wait Why The Hell Did People Ever Like That"

First half of the movie was good..but making the bad guys into "nightstalkers" instead of vampires and going with that ending made it meh at best
Calling Them "Vampires" Would Have Been A Terrible Idea Breh
But that's what they were in the story man lol..the nightstalkers looked terrible and it's like "what is a nightstalker?"
You Mean The OG Story? Thats Different If Thats The Case, But The Stigma That Goes With The Word "Vampire" Is Gonna Have People Wanting Will To Wear A Garlic Suit And Looking For Silver Bullets lol
