I saw it on the internet a few weeks ago. Besides the horrible qaulity, it was a good film. The part where

*SPOILER*

Sam dies is pretty sad. I can't imagine what that would feel like to have to kill the only person you have left. I think Will Smith played the role really well. He seemed to capture the feeling of isolation and the onset of insanity. The ending did seem a little off-par with the rest of the movie.

Plus, after I just recently watched one of the most interesting and shocking shows I've ever seen on National Geographic channel called Aftermath : Population Zero..he wouldn't have lasted those 3 Years.
A nuke was not dropped it was just a virus. I think he could of lived with ease besides the zombies. There would be so many supplies to have for free he would be set.

Yeah Will Smith is a great actor I don't think they could of picked anyone better for that part. The ending seemed dead on with the movie its the alternate ending that seemed off-par and you have to go find the answers to understand.

See the whole time we are sopposed to think that. After reading a bit more I guess the first ending (the alternate ending) was made to show that the zombies still retained some humanity by that they followed the alpha male and they spared Robert Neville's life. Still seeing them that restrained was odd because the remainder of the uninfected (around 12 million), were hunted and killed by the infected, or committed suicide due to isolation. See in the book Neville, the girl and the boy escape into the cole shoot and drive away. Then the next day Neville, the girl and the boy come back to the house to get what remains and find the zombie girl gone so the zombies definetly wanted the girl. After that they head to vermont. I was and am still confused because I thought the zombies fed off other humans and animals kind of like vampires but the movie made it seem like they had no control. But I guess they were sopposed to have some humanity left because they were like rabid animals just that they did have humanity left and were still somewhat inteligent like when they moved the manican to trap Neville. They really hacked the book apart and made a bad interpretation of it. The whole point of the legend thing in the movie was Neville being a legend to the monsters, a sole survivor who hunts kidnaps and kills infected ones, atleast thats how it was in the book. See I thought he was a legend because he found a cure which is true but I guess I was missing the bigger picture in that he was the living legend as the "sole survivor" After reading more and more the movie was poorly done in interpretation. It was a great movie, good plot, but if you go searching for answers like I did you get confused and then you find out the true ending and you're like well that sucked.

Right on. After reading the book and watching all three movies it's always been a virus. The show I was talking about obviously has nothing to do with the movie. But after watching this particular show it made me think of, I Am Legend, because the movie / story itself has always had my interest.

So you would agree he could live? I mean I can't see how he couldn't. Zombies aside he would have tons of supplies and nothing would hurt him he would be running the place. No animal would touch him with a full clip of his M4A1.

He could've survived, depending on his mental toughness, I believe.

Just think about it; yeah, he could have any and everything he wanted, supplies for years and so on, but what about being alone all that time? That'd have to mentally kill him, which it was. He was talking to mannequins, he was already starting to go out of his mind

He had the dog and the manequins were to keep him sain, sounds funny but talking to them kept him sain. When his dog died in the movie thats when he lost it and tryed to kill all the zombies with his truck. His true intention was to kill himself.

If you can find the National Geographic show - Aftermath : Population Zero it shows how man made and operated factories and Nuclear Power Plants would overheat and explode without humans to watch after them making the air totally unbreathable for years. Packs of wild dogs would run wild and animals would escape from the zoo and flurish in ceratin areas - which just reminded me of the lion and gazelles that are running around in the movie. Of course for the movie you got to suspend belief to enjoy it. But that show I'm talking about was just soo interesting. Try to find it if you can.
Watching that show you can't help but think of I am Legend

All the power was shut down, note the reason why he had generators running his house. The Nuclear Plants would thus have no effect or the factories. He had an M4A1 no dog is gonna hurt him.
