Reminded Us Of… Cast Away, 28 Days Later, Outbreak, I, Robot

The Good: The main high point is the alternate ending, which makes amends for the horrible theatrical cop-out. NYC being completely empty looked amazing on Blu-ray.

The Bad: This has some of the worst CGI creatures we've ever seen, which looked even worse on Blu-ray. The story, which was adapted from classic source material, is completely destroyed. That's what you get when you let the guy who wrote Batman & Robin get a crack at the screenplay.

Best Extra: The making-of documentary "Creating I Am Legend"
