"I AM LEGEND" Will Smith's latest sci-fi smash is the third adaptation of Richard Matheson's novel about a researcher who might be the last man alive. (It was previously filmed as Vincent Price's "The Last Man on Earth" and Charlton Heston's "The Omega Man.") Extras: four comics that fill in details on the story; two-disc set includes an unrated alternate version with a different ending.
"ENCHANTED" Disney flips its animation legacy on its head with this hit fairy-tale musical about a cartoon princess whose happily ever after turns into a journey to modern Manhattan. Extras: deleted scenes, a short film featuring Giselle's chipmunk pal.
"ATONEMENT" Set largely in the 1930s, the tragic romance traces the consequences of a terrible lie told by a jealous girl (supporting-actress Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan), who makes a false accusation against the lover (James McAvoy) of her older sister (Keira Knightley). Extras: deleted scenes, commentary and two making-of featurettes.
