Will Smith actually bonded with the dog Sam so much, that he actually asked the owner's if there was any way he could keep her, I think he offered to pay an exorbitant amount for her, and was refused outright. Lol

As I recall, the original version had the doctor lock away Anna in a safe place with the serum that works, then he uses a grenade to blow himself up & the zombies. Anna escapes safely & drives to Vermont to the survivors' camp with the life-saving serum, & the movie ends.

That was the theatrical ending the studio wanted making him the hero. This ending is closer to the book where he is the monster hiding in his fortress coming out and hunting innocents to torture and kill. A more morally complex story and far better for it. Which also plays into the title legends aren't necessarily hero's and one person's hero is anothers monster. Much like the real Dracula Vlad Tepes was a hero to Christians fighting to resist the conquest of eastern Europe by the Ottoman empire while to the Muslims he was a vicious monster who tortured butchered and desecrated their soldiers. Ironic really because he learned these terror tactics while held as a hostage by the Ottoman empire and his greatest foe was a member of his own family who converted to Islam while being held by his enemies.

This ending is closer to the book version where dark seekers was inteligent human beings that needed to drink blood due to the virus. They were trying to hunt him because he was killing them in their sleep. Neville was the monster. I prefer this ending as this is giving the movie more depth than ending where somebody giving his life in tear inducing scene in fight againts souless monsters.

The theatrical ending (which you did not see here) basically had the 3 of them retreating down to the glass lab with the female zombie showing clear signs of being cured. But the nemesis zombie could see them and was acting as though he would never relent. Then Dr. Neville revealed to Anna that there was a small ventilation tunnel at the back of the room where the boy and Anna could escape. But first Dr. Neville gave Anna a container with samples of the Cure compound. Then Dr. Neville revealed that he also had one or more Grenades in a desk there......which he ended up using after Anna and the boy were out of the tunnel to safety. The explosion presumably killed Dr. Neville and all of the zombies in that whole basement. Then the film changes shots to show Anna and the boy "by themselves" in that car driving away from New York city. And finally, it shows Anna and the boy arriving in that car at the Survivor's Colony where Anna still has the samples of the Cure that she gives to them. The film ends there, with Anna narrating a mention that Dr. Neville should now be considered a Legend.... for the work he did which produced a cure and that cure will presumably be able to end the zombie affliction on all the millions of zombies which Dr. Neville earlier mentioned exist as a statistical estimate from the survival rate of the previous world human population. Basically, the theatrical ending had more hope for the world.....and the ending you saw had more hope for Dr. Neville but not the world. Humans are strange that way..... in that most people who saw the movie like the ending you saw, rather than the theatrical one... in spite of how it only has hope for one human instead of hundreds of millions of humans. They have no emotional connection to the hundreds of millions of humans they don't see.... and they do have an emotional connection with the single human of Dr. Neville.

I prefer the theatrical ending. I like hope. Dr Neville sacrificed himself for the greater good and saved all of humanity with his serum - he shows us that that was his intent all along in finding the cure in the first place. He was cynical, yes - but he always had hope... he broadcasted for survivors every day, without fail, for a long time before we join his story. He hoped all along.

This is my favorite Will Smith movie. 2.The part that gave me real respect for Will Smith is the scene where he's talking to the mannequin right after having to kill his best/only friend and says, "Please say hello to me". 😭THAT'S acting. Where did he go to get that?. 😎 3. This film is mostly a remake of "The Last Man On Earth" and "The Omega Man" staring Charlton Heston. 4. The wild animals escaped from the Manhattan Zoo. 5. He was saving the bacon for Samantha. 6. There's speculation that he's the bad guy because he's the hunter now. 7. I absolutely fell in love/LUST with Alice Braga after I saw this movie. 😍😈 8. The female was the leader's squeeze. 9. I prefer the other ending, where he sacrifices himself.
