The semi - happy ending was phony as the happy ending tacked on to Bladerunner in its original release. Let me rephrase that - the ending of I Am Legend is so stupid, illogical, and insulting to the audience that it ruined the movie for me. Hell, I left the theater wanting to drive to LA to hunt down the screenwriter so I could yell at him. The survivors' camp in Vermont is explained away with an off - hand remark that the "virus couldn't handle the cold." If Vermont is cold enough to kill off the virus then why didn't everyone in New Hampshire, Maine, upstate New York, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Alaska, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and Mongolia survive the virus too? Vermont isn't the coldest place on earth, yet everyone on the planet was killed by the virus except for those in a small pocket of the Green Mountain State. Right.
Follow Ups:
Maybe I wasn't paying attention, but I what I thought I heard was there were "healthy" survivors of the original plague who were still vastly outnumbered and (mostly) hunted down by the "vampire" survivors. It might make some sense that a few "healthy" survivors were able to get together to create safe havens for themselves, say in Vermont.
If I let myself be bothered by Hollywood's all-pervasive illogic, I'd probably never want to see another movie.
