[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 3537680, member: 149"] IIRC, there was some mention of Spain. Nope, they were spotted by one of the snipers. Apparently he didn't feel like shooting two recently returned kids to keep them from getting out of the zone. Do you have a point here? Seems pretty normal and reasonable reaction for some kids. Yeah, I wondered about that, but figured the petrol being volitile would be more of a problem. Still it is only 28 weeks later and that isn't that long. Presumably much of it was also cold weather which would tend to kill off the infected as well as reduce the boil off of the petrol. It wasn't a military base. It was a civilian resetlement area. It did have a heavy military presence for obvious reasons though. Half a point. He probably shouldn't have had access to an area like the isolation wards for possible infected. He wasn''t told she was a carrier IIRC. He was also kind of distracted over his kids having run off and by his guilt over abandoning his wife to be ripped appart. Not to mention how he was going to explain to the kids that he'd left her to be ripped apart. Besides, she wasn't exhibiting any of the symptoms of being infected remember? And that's one thing that would have been drummed into everyone's heads especially if they lived through the disaster. One drop of blood and you freak out turning into a killing machine and his wife was clearly calm, rational and not a berzerk killing machine. This is more of a point. But it did look like it was the middle of the night. He was shown killing several guards. But they were probably taking another path. Yes this was probably the weakest point of the movie. But it is a movie horror movie. If all the security measures worked and the crisis was averted then you don't have a film. Good idea, probably didn't occur to the film makers. They aren't going to think of everything. Also panicking civilians aren't always going to follow instructions either especially if they're traumatized people who have just been dropped back into a nightmare they thought they were safe from. You only have so much time to spend in a movie. They could have devoted hours more to showing how the infection spread, but it wouldn't have made the movie better. The point was that the infection had broken free and was running wild and that was already estabilished. Time to move on to the next part. Don't especially know what scene you're refering too. It probably didn't bother me if it didn't. However, a better question is why didn't they tell the kids about their mother or why they were important. You have a point here about the flame thrower. Not a great weapon againsts a berzerk target, but it does have the advantage of not spattering blood everywhere. Also they were using it in the cloud of poison gas, which should presumably slow down and kill targets. Think of it more as clean up for the gas than a primary method of killing. RE: The uniforms. At this point in the breakout of the infection you'd have to assume there were a fair number of infected military running about. So the order probably wasn't so much shoot anyone as "Shoot anyone not in a chemical warfare suit." Which the good guy soldier was not. My question is why wasn't everyone in the military wearing some sort of bio-chem suits? Given the kind of mission they were on. If they were light intensifier scope they work off of available light, which there wasn't a lot of in the tunnel. Since you need something to amplify. Perhaps he's tracking their scent? I don't know it's a movie, cut it some slack. [/QUOTE]
