don't know if you caught it. he survived the treatment without problems or mutating so he's immune to the disease. also there's another ending where the girl and boy make it to the "safe city" but will dies killing the creatures to cover their escape.

​@@craiglortie8483fake trash

This is the canon ending. Continues somehow in the 2nd movie

@@Jantzku there’s a second movie?

@@owenroberts3036 In production, if my memory serves me right.

@@Jantzku hope it’s not just a money grab then, personally didn’t think this needed a sequel but oh well

​@@owenroberts3036well this movie is only like half of the first book

LMAO what ending do you prefer? I grew up on the will dying ending and i'm okay with that.

@@Nala_1230 I was SO confused seeing this...this one is so much better, it does its own writing justice when it comes to the infected being naturally hostile, BUT VERY intelligent and comprehensible. And that human redemption in an apocalypse does not need to end with someone dying, unlike most apocalyptic films. When he saw the butterfly, at first glance it would make sense for him to want to make things right, but wanting to unite with his daughter and wife again, but then again it didn't at all. He could've killed himself after his dog died (which..he TRIED to when he drove that car through the bridge), but he kept researching. And him meeting those people was clearly a sign, a second chance at a new life. As for the bad ending, I did liked the tragedy, when the leader kept beating against the glass. I will always remember the line: "They're not gonna stop." Showed how humanity can and will destroy themselves and their planet.

@@Nala_1230 this one is canon and better those zombies arent dvmb

@@Nala_1230 I always thought it was a bit silly because he could've dropped the grenade and gone through that vent with them.

nah after watching the other one u cant accept it

no, it's not

Yeah it's funny so many reaction channels are all dropping reviews to this movie recently, and it's been about split with half seeing 1 ending and half seeing the other ending!

I prefer the alternate ending as well #edit: i just realized, they DID watch the alternate ending here (wich is now seen as canon) and you were referring to the theatrical version with that lame wannabe heroic ending. No, no, i definitely prefer this one here, it gives so much more to think about, social commentary and presenting a twist with a different angle of how a new form of socially creatures able of empathy and emotions hase evolved and to them Neville is the monster. That is so much better.

@@schnubbel76 i understand why you’d think that, i just didn’t like the idea that these creatures which as intelligent as they might be, were painted as aggressive and killing everyone even before his character captured the woman creature, only to instantly change their ways because of this girl. i guess they’re hinting that the ‘boss’ of the creatures only wanted his wife/girl back, but given that the whole movie sets them up as wiping out near enough all humans, it just never made sense to me. I also think the sacrifice of wills character made a lot of sense for the person he was and also made the payout of his work that he dedicated himself too more valuable, like the final quote says in that ending, ‘this is his legend’, it was quite literally his legend that he dedicated himself to. i understand both sides of the argument to be fair, i just felt like the theatrical version was the better send off for his character.

@@JunoReactor77 this is what confused me haha i watched Alex Hefner or however you spell it’s reaction on this like last week and i thought the ending he watched was the ending for every version of the film and the one seen here was a deleted alternate ending but i guess not

@@owenroberts3036 The ending that was viewed here makes more sense if you read the book. At the end of which Will Smith character looks back at himself realizing that he is their boogyman, hence the name.

well i guess hes the villain froma certain point of view. the same type of view that thinks the empire in star wars is a freedom loving, life preserving and enlightening force.

Ik I wasn’t trippin 😂

I thought they would watch the other ending this time

Why did they re upload? That’s high key sketchy

@@bigstock21 How is that sketchy? What other reason would it be besides copyright maybe.

@@cjjackson2423 I’m not sure, they should’ve told us why

so was it a dressed up vampire or did will smith hallucinate or did the mannequin itself move LOL

@@Nala_1230 It wasn't one of the dark seekers, it was his imagination. My theory is that he was already going insane from loneliness and no social interaction, as we see him talking to inanimate objects as if they're people. I think we see it move because that's what he's seeing. It's just his mind playing tricks on him.

Much2 prefer this ending

@@rebel8215 Nah, it was the darkseekers at night time.

@@lelouchvibritannia4028 He's not talking about the mannequin actually being there, he's talking about the mannequin actually moving slightly right before our eyes.

It actually does follow that plot😭 this is an alternate ending , the official ending He sacrifices himself, so the other two can get away with the cure

@@moonz23 Actually this is the original ending that is more similar to the source material the movie is based on. The other ending was only made for movie theater audiences and was called the “cinematic” ending.

@@ShaleBeeLinn yes ik the book was like that, but this was the original ending of the movie they watched

@@moonz23 actually you miss the part where the people who made this ending say this was the canon because the "ofical as you say" was kid of dvmb the reason why the alpha was huting him down in the movies was because he take his woman.

@@blacky8987 that was the original ending to the book, but not in the movie and I know about the alpha going for him because of the girl, I've seen the alternate ending, I know

yes i was watching this remember and thinking i dont remember him surviving

This is the alternate ending that wasn't seen in the theatrical release !

i believe its not will's characters blood, it's the zombie girl with the butterfly tattoo that was starting to be cured

This is the alternate ending , not the original ending that came out in theatres smh

Actually, there's a little bit more to the different endings. The theatrical version had that the infected (they're not exactly vampires like in the novel) are still intelligent enough but are slowly losing it more and more. In the alternate ending, the infected originally began as uncontrollable monsters who had no sense of intelligence, until 3 years after the outbreak when they began to redevelop human intelligence and understanding.

There's another version of this movie that can be found only in the expensive collector's edition DVD. The movie is 30-35 minutes longer (which is what connects to the ending of this version) and explores not only much more of the world, but character development is way more fleshed out. Discussions and questions about god and man are throughout, which eventually leads up to the argument where Will Smith says "There is no god... everybody we have ever known is dead!" This reaction from him is from a gradual build up through the first half of the movie. None of the extra scenes can be found online, because the studio has a copyright marker on them, so if you do find any of them, they're either poor quality or they've got commentary over them so you can't hear the scenes audio/dialogue.

Oh, and there's more scenes with Sam too... including one where he's chasing a butterfly in the cornfield :)

This ending was on the DVD release. But this ending is what's considered canon now, and they are making I Am Legend 2 that continues from this ending.

@@ToddFraud I had never seen this either!!!

This ending is canon, and tells more of the story that the book conveyed. in the book, it is revealed that the dark seekers are essentially just the new race of humans. The dark seekers saw Will Smith's character as a sort of Boogeyman who stole their people while they were asleep in the day. Hence the name "I Am Legend".

I always liked this ending better personally.

It was purely coincidental, as stated on the dircetors commentary

I think what made those movies so good/scary is that we hadn’t seen anything like them really we’ve had zombie movies b4 but this was way different

I thought I was tweaking cause I've watched this before

Yeah I was actually looking for someone to comment about it

They know. It’s been mentioned

They mentioned that? ​@@tamara_diamonds422

@@tamara_diamonds422 But then there's people like me wishing they watched the version that's 30-35 minutes longer, only found on the insanely expensive exclusive collector's edition DVD ;) Not trolling, it's actually a thing.

This is now the ACTUAL ending, the other one is now the ALTERNATIVE (they are making the sequel)

@@khrysnv9080 To me, this will be the alternate ending since the "real" ending is what they showed in theaters. The fans can choose what they prefer, but it doesn't change what the true ending is.

@@mpzurlinoThis is the actual ending bud. 💀

@@mpzurlino you're gonna have a tough time with the 2nd movie then guy

@@allstarr9tc I 100% understand they are making another movie that will go off of the ALTERNATE ending. BUT THAT DOES NOT CHANGE WHAT IS THE ORIGINAL ENDING. Which is the entire point of my post. As mentioned above, when you watch this movie on TV, they show the ending of him blowing himself up. So clearly they understand what ending is the intended way. Why is it so hard for people to understand this concept?

Naw this one way better

This ending makes perfect sense with the addition of the missing 30-35 minutes that can only be found in the expensive collector's edition DVD version. Exploring much more of characters, environment, discussions and questions about God and mans role throughout history. Will's characters lack of faith in God, which eventually leads up to his explosive scene "There is no god!". We also have more of Sam chasing a butterfly in the cornfield, aswel as a more in-depth look at the virus.

not you are lost lol the reason why the movie call im a legen is because the new race see him as the monster twho hunt them down when they cant defend themselves in the sun light you dot get it lol those arent generic zombies.

so was it a dressed up vampire or did will smith hallucinate or did the mannequin itself move LOL

Yeah, this isn’t the ending that came out in Theater

Well, if we are talking which ending is the true ending, then it’s the one from the book. Where Neville realizes that he is the one seen as a monster. Because he is the only human on Earth. Everyone is a vampire, and Neville is the mythical monster hunting them during the day. It’s basically just like how we see vampires as scary predators. Except that Neville is the predator here. He is a legendary figure for them. Hence the title “I Am Legend”.

@@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770 idk what the hell your talking about dude . All I know the main ending is when he died as this one in there reaction was an ultimate ending . There is no true ending .

@@CHRISTALGIA Here is a simple version of what I said: Book version original Book version different ending. Book ending probably true ending.

@@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770 no there’s no simple anything and literally no one talks about any books on this movie and i don’t care about books I care about the movie and what I said is true. Fuck the books

wel in the canon and comics those arent zombies they are a new race in the "real" ending was out of logic lol the reason the alpha was hunting Will... was because he attacked and took his wife lol the movie version made a big mistake by putting out that dvmb shlt since the infected alpha was trying to get revenge on the doctor for taking his wife... you can't see how he tries to trick the doctor with the mannequin and wait for him with a trap just to get revenge on him.

No. This is the original ending. The theatrical release ending was studio interference because they had no faith in the audience wanting to follow along with the discussions and questions about god and man and their history through our existence. You can find the full version of this only in the expensive collector's edition DVD only. Yes, it's actually a thing. It's 30-35 minutes longer than this version they watched.

thats not what the i am legend stands for.
