Super grenades, anyone? Yeah. Grenades always seem to greatly vary in strength in movies. Some one can dive 5 feet away from an exploding grenade and live in one movie, or it can blow up a whole building in another…
Never being told, or shown to as whom may have set the trap that Will Smith fell victim to. (I personally think that Will had forgotten about it, and fell victim to his own trap) I think that they learned to recognize the traps, but they moved FRANK as bait.
What Will Smith had to do with the whole Virus. Why was he on Time Magazine? It seems that he was somehow heavily involved in the attempted cleanup of the outbreak. He may have been in time for something previously. I think it was included with the intention of alluding to the fact that W.S. character was multifaceted; not just an army grunt.
Anna was waiting at the dock all day for him. She would have seen him earlier in the day setting up the decoy for when he tried to kill himself, and wouldn’t had to have rushed in to save the day. This was one of my major objections. I can’t think of anything in the film that would be anything other than my own conjuring.
How did Anna get from Brazil to NYC, and more specifically onto the Island, if the bridges were blown up? Did any really say that she was from brazil? I must have missed that. That’s a fucking hike, and seems stupid. Perhaps she was vacationing in the states. LOL. Also, i don’t think will smith was stranded, i think he was simply CHOOSING to stay because it was “ground zero” (additionally a detail that was unnecessarily hammered on). I think that there would have been plenty of boats that anna could have used in order to get to the island. If she made it that far, it’s not unreasonable to think that…
Why was there no “fail-safe” in his lab? I mean he had explosives and lights outside of his house, but nothing where he kept the subjects? Yeah, it seemed a bit much there at the end. I also would have preferred to see less of a massive climactic battle at the end. I think something less “in your face” would have made a better end to the film.
This movie gets a 6.66/10 from me. Only because the first 2/3’s of the movie was entertaining and worth watching. The last 1/3 of the movie was fucking absurd and left you with more questions than answers.
LOL @ Ford wanting people to believe that after 3 years of sitting, the finish on their cars would look freshly waxed. Considering that will smith took the time to set up mannequins in a video store, i don’t think that it is impossible to think that he wouldn’t wax a car… Maybe it was inside at a showroom?
Also, I was more annoyed by the scene where he is attacked by the dogs. First, I think that the dogs were angry enough to jump through 6" of BURNING UV RADIATION to get at him. Secondly, What happened to that guy who released the dogs? Seems like that would have been a prime opportunity to get will.
