Why don't soldiers just kill the nearest human? It would certainly shorten wars...Humans CAN'T smell that accurately. Not possible. Dogs yes, cats MAYBE, but not humans. Remember, the Rage does its voodoo within 20-30 seconds. Giving a human the level of olfactory excellence required to tell an Infected from an unnifected would require rewiring most of the brain. And apparently Rage also somehow "tells" its victims that their new mission in life is to bite people... Yeah, information transfer via an ubervirus...The silly factor is just too high with this sequel. A virus needs an incubation period. There is no getting around that. And incubation periods are measured in (at best) hours and more likely days. If they wanted to use the disease vector idea they really needed Rage to be airborne and have a slow onset time. The premise of this film just fails for me. Your mileage may vary. But making a "scientific" zombie movie without any science is doomed to fail...There were also way to many "lucky" breaks in the film. Too many things had to fall in just the right place for the story to continue. It was like watching dominoes get knocked over...If a movie REQUIRES me to completely shut off my brain to "work" the film makers have failed at their jobs...Now, you want a zombie plague, Romero did it first and he did it best. If you die, you rise as a ghoul. Simple, clean and elegant. I also prefer my zombies slow and stumbling. The inevitability of Romero's ghouls is where the horror lies. Sure you can out run his ghouls. But they will just keep coming, forever. And you need to rest, too sleep. And the absolute best you are going to get is watching everyone you love rise as a flesh eating fiend... now THAT is horror... he also added in social commentary that is sorely lacking in this new breed of zombie movies.But 28 Weeks Later was just silly...BTW, a single tank or APC actually used in this film would have ended things quickly.</blockquote>
