Short Movie Review: I Am Legend
Fascinating, creepy, and affecting for the first 3/4 or so, but didn’t really deliver in the climax. Something tells me that there were some major themes or plot avenues explored in the book that only get hinted at (just how smart are these monsters?) or crammed in at the end (blah blah blah god blah blah meaning). Alternatively, maybe the ending of the book didn’t go well with test audiences, so they went with something stupider. I feel like I need to go read the book now to be satisfied with the setup that really got me interested in the beginning parts of the movie.

Here’s the original ending they shot. Man, did I call that, or what? (This wasn’t the ending from the book, but it does follow much more logically from the events and questions set up earlier in the film. Plus, I’d argue it’s a lot more affecting and less cheesy.)
