Neville dying was a great ending, self sacrifice for the greater good. Not enough films go that way anymore, but thats good as too much of it would be just that, too much and become cliche.
Heston dying in the pose of a crusifiction was a master stroke in 'Omega Man' as he signalled the new rise of humanity after its sin. He died for humanity's sin.
You have to remember that if Ridley made the film with Arnold, he would have geared it to suit Arnie's presence and style and it may have worked fantastic.
If it was made in the style and vein of 'End Of Days' or 'Collateral Damage', Scott and Schwarzenegger could well have had a hit.
