According to the 'pedia, Boyle meant for the virus to be <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rage_%28fictional_virus%29" REL="nofollow">only transmitted via primates</A>. But you're right, there seems to be an intentional lack of wildlife, except, well, when there weren't.<BR/><BR/>I'm dreading the new RE movie after the schlockfest that was Apocalypse. I rather enjoyed the first one, as popcorn fodder, and always like to see Milla in about anything - but that movie pushed my limits there.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260309971152360156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-12852946283192277542007-10-23T07:48:00.000-07:002007-10-23T07:48:00.000-07:00Yea, I had a lot of trouble with an intelligent zo...Yea, I had a lot of trouble with an intelligent zombie that could track people as they flew and drove around the city and be in front of them. Fortunately Zombies can see in the dark as well. <BR/><BR/>I also had massive problems with the plotline, at one point there were the sounds of rats/mice - considering from the first movie we knew birds could transfer the disease (and since birds fly the English Channel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Robin), why didn't the continent get infected??) but anyway, the assumption that every single mouse/rat/squirrel/bird on the entire island is dead and its ok to bring civilians back is quite a stretch! <BR/><BR/>The military is always used for a laugh in these movies (one of the good things about Transformers was that the military is not shown as a bunch of bumbling idiots, easily conquered by a teenager) and I think its an interesting point in that the whole problem was caused (don't want to give too much away) but the whole problem was caused by a soldier who decided he knew better than his orders and decided not to carry them out.<BR/><BR/>But it did have some good moments, and the fast-moving instant-zombie concept is genuinely creepy.<BR/><BR/>p.s. If you think this was bad, I can't wait to read your read your review of the new Resident Evil movie (how many zombies can you pack into a trailer?)Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12341711121542863377noreply@blogger.com
