It was pretty good. The ending seemed very Bible influenced with themes of Noahs Ark, Garden of Eden, End Times, Angels etc.

I saw the movie on opening day and can give it (for me) the ultimate compliment.
It is good entertainment.
The world as we know it ends. No biggie.
No preaching.
No PC crap.
No liberal/gay lifestyle rants.
What more can anyone expect these days?

29% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Maybe not worth seeing after all.

I’ve been wondering for some time when we’ll start to see apocalyptic movies that would compare to those of the 1970’s:
- Planet of the Apes
- Soylent Green
- Colossus: The Forbin Project
- Rollover
IMO, “Omega Man” (remade last year as “I am Legend”) presents an unqualified disaster but not an absolutely
complete apocalypse in the same way these others did.

***** SPOILER ALERT *****
I can't believe how many people are slobbering over this movie and talking about how "spiritual" it is. I heard such comments and went to the movie expecting some great message. And what was the message? ALIENS ARE THE SAVIORS OF MANKIND. Are you kidding me? If there are "aliens" out there, they are most certainly tools of the devil and not visitors from some other planet. They may very well want us to BELIEVE that they indeed are the saviors of mankind, but it would only be a ruse to take our eyes off God.

Why the knock on aliens? We have an illegal alien now as our president and he is going to save us all!
To: GLDNGUN
Balance it out with “The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy” when you get a chance. It starts with the destruction of Earth but it’s a comedy.

Just like the "aliens", it is certainly what he wants you to believe...

Slightly off topic

SciFi channel re-made the remake, it aired last weekend, it was called "I am Omega" with Mark Dacascos.
Is it asking to much to get an "original" disaster movie?

Did you know that there is an alternative ending for “I am Legend” in which Will Smith’s character does not die? Its out there on the internet.

To: SVTCobra03
Yeah. The “happier” version of the movie. It’s available on minin. That should have been the actual ending as well.
To: GL of Sector 2814
"Why would you think that aliens couldn't exist without being a demonic manifestation?" I was thinking the same thing. In CS Lewis's Space Trilogy he posits the notion of another planet, also created by God, whose beings did not succumb to temptation in the garden...

I hate to say it, I liked the SciFi channel movie better than the Will Smith version.
I still would like something original to come out.

Where are the alien books in the bookstore? If they're about fictional aliens, they'd be in the science fiction section. If they were about xenobiology and speculations about the possibilities of alien life they'd be in the science section.
What's your point?
