He said he was immune but how was he immune to the virus if he didn’t find a “cure” until the end of the movie? ---

I though that German Shepard’s had to have their ears pinned back. They show the dog as a puppy with non-pinned ears when the helicopter takes off but he has pinned ears as an adult. Will must have did that on his own I guess?? ---

That gave them the perfect chance to follow the car back to the house. riiiiiight but if you are the only person alive in nyc and you are leaving tracks and parking cars etc…you dont think when they wander around at night they rent going to notice this? in front of a fortified apt building…not to mention the fact squirting solvent on the stairs isnt going to rid everything…plus it was obvious that they were watching him at the movie store from places where the sun wasnt effecting them, so it cant have been that hard to track him via buildings blocking the light closer to his apt. etc etc etc, you are stating the obvious, but it doesnt explain the hole as to how they can know a little bit about him, yet not ever find him. not to mention the amt of time he had before his apt was fortified…before he could hide at night only, safely, without access to solvents…get my point?? EDIT german shepards dont need their ears pinned back, as they get older they gain the muscle to put their ears up…the flop when they are puppies cuz they lack the muscle ---

The end seemed dumb. He built a fortified home with no way to enter with the metal barriers on all the windows and doors, yet he kept opening them when the Dark Seekers were running towards the house? All he had to do was sit and wait, right? He already made the house secure, so Stop peeking outside giving them a way in! And, “followed him home at night?” What did they do, run behind the car? They drove back to the house… As for the windows and doors… How the hell did he even install that? Those looked really heavy. One guy? LOL Still, an entertaining movie. Thats about it. ---

Well to go from Will Smith to a blue eyed, blonde haired white guy sounds like kind of a downgrade. ---

I think most of these “holes” in the story could have been filled by you watching the movie a little closer. -Are you really complaining about he strength of a movie grenade? -It was obvious that the dark seekers had set the trap. -She came from Maryland NOT Brazil. ---
