I am Legend Alternate Ending

[MaraJade]

The first ending leaves us with the following message:

1) Will Smith's character is perfect.
2) Rah rah humans, we'll save the day.

The second ending leaves us with a completely different message, that everything Will has been doing to "cure" the Darkstalkers has been akin to a form of mass murder. That while he was blindly focusing as hard as he could on stopping them, he missed the fact that they had evolved past mindless monsters into creatures capable of feelings and thought.

Choosing a solution that saves everyone rather than just mindlessly killing everything in your path? Now that's a hero.

Without having seen the alternate ending, I was under the impression that Neville's (Smith) main objective was to find a cure; that's why he chose to live at Ground Zero and went through many failed trials - as depicted by the rat experiments and many failed trials on the wall. He did mistakenly believe they were mindless monsters, and it's ironic that right after he makes that conclusion - they get him with that trap. But in the end, he sacrificed himself so that the cure could get away safely. It wasn't just mindless killing and whole-sale slaughter - that was in defense.

This movie had some good ideas about it, but EVERY TIME the creatures showed up, it was like they rendered them on a playstation 1. Did they import the CGI from 1996? The movie was fascinating, and could have been a modern classic, but the FX just DRAGGED me out of the movie every time those pasty fuckers showed up. The story was ok, even tho the monsters didnt make sense, or look real, and both endings amounted to pretty much the same thing: Will Smith fighting bad CGI.

You guys want a real emotional, thought-provoking thriller/sci fi film? Watch The Mist.
