New this week on video

‘I Am Legend’

It’s the end of the world as we know it ... or so it seems to scientist Robert Neville (Will Smith) of New York City, apparently the only survivor of a deadly virus that has killed off humankind and left only a few deadly mutants. Can Neville find a way to reverse the effects of the virus by using his own blood? The only bonus features on the single-disc edition are some animated scenes and a ROM link for additional animation, while the two-disc Special Edition comes with an alternate version of the movie, which includes not only a new ending but some additional scenes throughout the film. (One and two discs, Warner Home Video, $28.98/$34.99, rated PG-13)

‘Atonement’

Keira Knightley, James McAvoy and Saoirse Ronan star in this tragic romantic tale, set primarily in the 1930s and ‘40s, about a lie that irrevocably alters the lives of three people. The DVD includes a commentary by director Joe Wright, deleted scenes and two documentaries — “Bringing the Past to Life: The Making of ‘Atonement”’ and “From Novel to Screen: Adapting a Classic.” (Universal Studios Home Entertainment, $29.98, rated R)

‘Enchanted’

This modern-day fairy tale from Disney blends live-action footage with animation as a storybook princess named Giselle from mythical Andalasia is transformed into a young woman (Amy Adams) in contemporary New York City. Bonus features include deleted scenes and bloopers; “Pip’s Predicament: A Pop-Up Adventure” featuring Giselle’s chipmunk pal Pip; and a documentary, “Fantasy Comes to Life.” (Walt Disney Home Entertainment, $29.99, rated PG)
