[QUOTE="awayfarer, post: 3538452, member: 42702"] Fair enough. Or yelling at them? There still the problem of how easily they managed to sneak out. Digging through a corpses pockets in a place that reeks of decay seems normal and reasonable? Close enough. I don't care what they call it, It ain't exactly Disneyland. Okay but... 1: Why would he not be told this? 2: Would he not have been able to figure out that something was amiss seeing as she was in a containment area? 3: If the military is willing to tell him both that she is alive and where she is, why not tell him she's infected? I will not buy a theory that one person knowing this might have caused a panic either. 4: Even if she's not showing symptoms, why not tell her that she's got it? From there she can prevent the incident. And? The potential for another outbreak has nothing to do with the earths rotation around the sun. Which is strange, because they show several guards walking along with the officer who gives the order to kill her. Yep, but I think they could have done better. How about something on a small scale? Maybe only a few infected break out in that scenario and it's difficult to find them. Admittedly, you have something closer to the movie Aliens in this case, but I think that would have still made a decent film. Even if not everyone follows through, this still gives a better chance of only targetting infected folks. It just felt like the filmmakers got a little too impatient. We've already seen the effects of an outbreak in the first film. Lets see one in progress and in a bit more detail. A lot of this movie is just more of the same. The scene I'm referring to is when they're sitting in the park near the merry-go-round. Blood on the kid means either A: He's wounded or B: He's come into contact with infected blood. No one seems to notice much or care. The excuse could be used that they figure he's not infected and it's not a big deal, but I wouldn't want to be carrying any infected blood around if I didn't have to. Oh, and agreed. I suppose. I still think it stretches credibility to assume they'll fire first at someone in uniform who's survived a gas attack and is not threatening them. I guess you could use the excuse that everyone's in a "Shoot first, ask questions later." mood, which is very plausible. Meh, I still don't like it. Maybe they should have given him the power to bestow amnesia through kissing like a certain superhero in Superman 4. Something I mentioned to my GF last night: The farther away I get from a movie I didn't like, the less I like it. I would actually say that it's not bad for a rental. In any case, I have fun beating up soft targets like mediocre movies. In any case, it's a movie. I refuse to show mercy to bits of celluloid. If this movie had a supervisor I would ask to see it. Maybe I am familiar with the phrase "white cliffs of Dover." Other than existing somewhere in England, I have no clue what their exact location is and no pressing need to pin it down. And hey, whats wrong with a little danish? I could imagine it only spreading in Europe but I get a nasty feeling that that's not what's in store. Maybe they'll only manage to reduce the worlds bratwurst and spaghetti consumption before dying out. [/QUOTE]
