That was the ONLY part of the movie that I jumped at at all.

Okay, this wasn't a bad movie, but it was no were near its potential. First off the director needs to learn a few lessons on god damn pacing. He spends 10 minutes establishing the hell out of the fact that he is all alone in London and then just blasts through fight scenes and the what not. Other then that there was also all of the loose ends and glaring omissions. Like how the heck did he survive in the hospital? I mean he had to be alone for ATLEAST 2 weeks if not 3. Earlier in the film they make reference to radio broadcast stating that the plauge had made it to Paris and New York, but then the one sergeant makes a reference to Britain just being quarantined. We shortly there after see a plane fly overhead in some sort of "proof" that that is in fact the truth. If that is true then why the false broadcast? Then as someone else mentioned, why the hell did he go into the hamburger stad? I mean other then to play out a horror movie cliche (Hero goes off on his own and single handedly defeats monster) it serves he charector no purpose to go in there. And the soldiers. I mean what the fuck. They can't go a little less then a month without getting some without contemplating sucide and atempting rape and murder? I mean I would hope your average person could easily go that long (even in THAT extreme a situation) but a soldier.. it SHOULD take years, or atleast a year. Here is a small one but yet another for the pile, in the scene in the bathroom were Selena trys to get Hannah to take the valium (?) They come in and break it up before she takes it, then a little later you see her and she makes references to "these drugs". Also, how the hell did he jump over that wall? And if he can do that then why can't the "rage"d people do it?

There were a few others but thats all I care to think about right now. Other then that it was decent. It had some good music and nice cues. Had some real cool camera shoots although I thought the hand held camera effect was over done.

Also it WAS a zombie flick. I mean yes they were not zombies per se but it was that style of film. That is the genre that it will be associated with.
