I Am Legend Original Ending

I Am Legend was good up until the last ten minutes. Seriously. I walked out of the theater pissed off because the last 10 minutes of the movie completely sucked. It felt like the writers had the whole thing written except for the end and were like:
Writer 1: “hey… dude - look what time it is.”
Writer 2: “shit, I didn’t realize it was so late.”
Writer 1: “Yeah man - we need to get all the way across town and this time a day - you know traffic is gonna be a real bitch.”
Writer 2: “Totally, we should get outta here in like… 20 minutes so we can get to the restaurant on time.”
Writer 1: “Yep - plus we start that other project tomorrow. Let’s just finish this donkey up and end this thing - I mean, we already killed the fucking dog - which I told you I didn’t want to do.”
Writer 2: “Stop whining about the dog already. Let’s just bang this piece out and the hell outta here.”

Apparently - the original ending didn’t “test” well with the test audiences - which were apparently made up of idiots.
