I like I AM LEGEND, but as to which ending is better is a debate for me!
For the Theatrical Version, you have the cure making it to the survivors' camp, which gives humanity hope along with bittersweet closure for Robert Neville. Plus, a peaceful end credits sequence with Bob Marley and the film's amazing score.
For the Alternate Version, you stay true to the book and Robert Neville survives. But, what about the cure? Also, the ending kinda ends abruptly as it's basically a set-up for the sequel that never was and the music in the end credits is misplaced.
So, for now and the last who-knows-how-long, I'll stick to the Theatrical Version, thank you kindly!
