As as I was visiting Phil Plait’s Bad Astronomy blog, something else caught my eye. A very striking film, I am Legend, was released last year with Will Smith playing the last man in New York. The ending, however, was cheesy, sentimental and illogical. Now a different and more plausible ending is available on the Web. Apparently “Hollywood” insisted on the syrupy and unsatisfying ending that was originally released.
An ending like that, I could watch, and maybe even buy the movie if it was released as a “director’s cut.” And here it is!

An earlier version of the same story, The Omega Man, however cheesy, remains one of my favourite films.

Apparently Omega Man is a remake of the original I am Legend, which is very good.
