I really enjoyed the movie. I dont know what it is about me, maybe Im just a big girl, but I can handle seeing people die in a movie, but I cant handle animals getting hurt...
Ya exactly. Those hacks on HGTV can come up with that in no time. You telling me a military scientist can't get some directions off the internet or at the library?
Acting by Smith was top-notch for someone who has not seen any other human in a while (2-3 years?). Story could've been better especially when knowing that they used 5 mil. on the bridge sequence. 7/10 I was hoping for the movie to go in-depth about what happened during that time period (I wish there were a few more flashbacks). Maybe if it was a 3 hour movie: -They could've shown more after that scene where his family gets killed. -More on the doctor who had the cure for cancer and how it backfired. -The initial resistance i.e. Military force, immune humans resistance, eradication attempts? Questions I would like explained and answered: -If he got the attention of "Anna" through the radio frequencies, why couldn't the Vermony Colony get the same message? -How Neville was the "Savior" according to that Time Magazine Cover on his fridge. -How did "Anna" get to the pier and to Vermont? Weren't the bridges destroyed? Tunnel? Boat? Just a few things that have crossed my mind after watching....
1. AM frequencies probably don't transmit all the way to Vermont...she said she was passing through and heard him 2. The outbreak was going on for a little while before the world went to **** and he was some top scientist and people thought he'd be the cure (which explains why his family was getting preferential treatment) 3. I have no idea on that one...
I thought she was in Maryland? What I want to know is of all of the places to live once the world goes to hell, why would he stay in his house near Washington Square? I would go to one of the many high rises and live in a penthouse far away from any danger. I know he wanted to stay in New York because it was ground zero for the disease, but I would've got the hell out of the city and go to some tropical island.
He had the lab in his basement. He can't take it with him and I'm pretty damn certain he can't just build a new one. It was extremely high tech.
In regards to Anna: Spoiler She said that she was initially on a Navy rescue vessel off of Sao Paulo, if I remember right. Somehow they got wind of the Survivors Community in Vermont and she and the boy were trying to make it there at the end of the movie. They heard Smith's radio message in Maryland. There was no explanation of how she made it from Sao Paulo to Maryland, Marylandn to the pier in New York to rescue Will Smith's character, nor explanation of how she made it from the lab in New York to Vermont.
Man these Anna comments are mind-boggling...I totally didn't even think about it... Spoiler Will Smith was living on the island, which was cut off from the rest of the world; bridges were destroyed and tunnels were flooded...so the only way on and off of it would be by boat...it's not a stretch to think she could have reached the island and then got back onto the mainland. But it is a stretch to think she and the boy could have made it off the island by boat, on their own, found another car with enough gas and was working, and made it to Vermont in one straight shot before sunset (and they seemed to have made it with plenty of time left) As for the penthouse comments...would you want to live at the top of a big skyscraper where the only way out is through a pitch black building possibly crawling with those monsters?
Spoiler So...did anybody notice if the car Anna was driving at the end of the movie was the same car she rescued Neville in? If so, you'd have to assume that she drove all the way to Maryland, which seems impossible without bridges, no? Hmm....
Spoiler There were Ferrys though so she could have easily hopped several cars onto the Ferry and taken it into the mainland.
Haha, im guessing there was a ferry toll as well? J/K Sorry to bring all this "Anna" stuff up but it just makes you wonder why they couldn't cover all these questions that we all have been asking.... Funny thing that I noticed is that they both were driving brand spankin new cars whenever there was a driving scene and I think all the cars utilized were FORD....I guess they had time to wash and wax their cars while these zombie-like cannibals were chasing them.
Assuming she didn't know how to hotwire a car. Wouldn't it be easier to find the keys to a car in a showroom than one on the streets?
No doubt, but I wonder where all of them went though, you think they all stayed together or they dispersed?
Aside from spelling and grammar errors, I thought that this was a good review from a viewers perspective. Had a number of similar questions and comments about the movie. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/vine/showthread.php?t=599530
