Book ending: Miles and Becky light a field of pods on fire; this causes the aliens to give up as they realize how desperate humans are at surviving. The Belicecs survived.

50s movie ending: Becky, Jack, and Theodora are duplicated, the aliens don't give up, Miles is in a nuthouse trying to explain what happened, and a some hope for the future.

70s movie ending: Jack, Elizabeth (Becky), and Matthew (Miles) are duplicated. Nancy (Theodora), still human, cross paths with an alien version of Matthew, and no hope for the future.

I haven't seen the 1978 version yet. I'll be getting it as a Christmas present so I will very soon. But I thought the ending of this movie would've been great if they gave Miles a shot to put him to sleep because of how out of control he was. Then he would've become one of them.

Matthew is not duplicated in the 1978 movie.
