I've never seen the alternate ending nor did I read the book. Care to put the alternate ending in a spoiler? Please?

Oops, forgot to check back.

Here's the alternate ending - best watched than reading it. It makes more sense when you see it on screen, the emotions and all etc - from the wik, be warned - this describes it almost moment for moment so will completely spoil iti:

Original alternate ending

Due to test audience dislike of the film's original ending, several scenes were significantly altered before the film's release, especially the standoff between Neville and the infected in his laboratory. Visual effects supervisor Janek Sirrs recounts the original ending starting with the standoff: "At that point, Neville's - and the audience's - assumptions about the nature of these creatures are shown to be incorrect. We see that they have actually retained some of their humanity. There is a very important moment between the alpha male and Neville. The alpha male slapped his hand on the glass and smeared it revealing a butterfly shaped imprint."

Neville realizes that the alpha male is identifying the infected woman he was experimenting on by a butterfly tattoo, and that the alpha male wants her back. Demonstrating that he will cease fighting and return her, Neville is allowed to approach them, with the alpha male ordering the infected not to touch him. Neville brings the alpha female back to consciousness, still infected due to him having removed the cure, and the alpha male embraces her;

Travis Schaub stated, "Then, when Neville finally turns the alpha female over to the alpha male, there is this little love moment between the two of them." Neville and the alpha male then exchange stares; Neville apologizes to them, which the alpha male acknowledges before the infected leave. He then looks at the photos of the infected he has experimented on and killed, and he realizes that he is the monster of their legends: the infected think of him as someone who hunts down and kills their people, making the ending closer to the original novel's.

The original final shot follows Neville, Anna, and Ethan as they cross the remnants of the George Washington Bridge accompanied by a recording from Anna telling possible survivors that there is hope, and Neville knows the compounds of the cure, meaning he can recreate it and help humanity survive and rebuild, thus establishing his legend.[5] The removal of this ending makes a previous scene in the film obsolete in which the alpha male attempts to rescue the alpha female, which Neville describes as "going against their survival instinct."

nick cage and val kilmer together guarantee you will not be unhappy about the price of admission. for a buck at the red box, they didn't fail to satisfy in the bad lieutenant, one of the most predictable films i've seen since scarface and pulp fiction, but a script nowhere near as crisp as the others. it was also about twenty minutes too long and from the look of it, probably was a bitch to get down to something they could release at all.

cage and kilmer manage to carry a blah cast and pull it off in spite of the crappy cinematography.

big sleazy hero cop gone dope fiend gets clean and lives happily ever after. campy as all get out, but like i said, with nick cage and val kilmer, you can even sit through the extra twenty minutes to actually see how it ends. if any of you watch it, i'd like to know how much more movie there was after you figured it out.
