i thought it was a diff cure that he changed slightly after he was rescued that worked? either way he could've just waited till he had the cure and put the dog on ice + sedated till then.

spoilers ahead...
The plot is fundamentally flawed... the film didn't really need all that hollywood-type hero crap, nor making it look like that sick guys with hydrophobia had actually a keen sense of social hierarchy when we were told at the beginning of the film the opposite.. of recent comparable works, "28 days later" was a much better film in this respect.

just saw the movie today

i thought that what he injected into the dog was something to euthanize her, not the cure to the virus. he knew the dog was infected, and at that point he didn't know that the cure he had would work 100% on animals, so the only option he had was to kill the dog (and maybe give her some painkillers). animal euthanasia typically takes less than a minute to kill the animal, and with those kinds of injuries it didn't look like the dog would live very long anyway.

this is probably also why he chooses to hold the dog in his arms right after injecting her (to make her feel comforted and loved right up until she goes crazy and dies). anyone who's ever had a loved pet put to sleep would know what it feels like in this situation.

i thought the movie was decent, but the ending was shit -_-

What was up with the mannequin that moved? I didn't get that at all, the infected guy with the dogs put it there supposedly? He said that all the people lost all human like traits, like they all basically went crazy for blood or something. Setting up a pretty elaborate trap doesn't really follow the story very well. And when that guy came out with the dogs it seemed pretty cheap, like a boss in a video game or something, he showed intelligence unlike every other infected person in the city. And if he was infected and crazy why didn't he chase will smith just like the dogs did? I just thought that whole scene was stupid.

Maybe I missed something though. Someone explain!

Thought this was a good movie, could've been better, the Bob Marley thing was stupid, the Boss zombie was too much and i think it would've been a better ending of the woman did not find the camp in the end but rather the ruins of the camp

From FAQ's section on imdb.com
How did "Fred" the mannequin get moved?
The Dark Seekers set up the trap for Neville. When Neville captured the alpha female Dark Seeker, the alpha male saw and was noticeably angry. He copied Neville's trap design, using Fred as the bait. When Neville approached, he triggered the trap.

Supposedly, in the book there're a group of vampires that are actually intelligent and have their own society. About the dogs, if you look carefully in the movie, there was piece of newspaper saying "infected dogs come out at dusk", that explains why.

[image loading]


I don't understand why the dogs didn't just run through the light I mean it was only about a foot long. Also Will Smith trying to drag himself to the car was kinda dumb. Why not just make a run. In that situation, no matter how bad his injury was at least he should've known better he should've hopped his way to the car.


Also when Will Smith spots Fred the Mannequin where he shouldn't be, I saw his head moving and I was like "wtf guys, was that just me or his head just moved" and all of my friends were looking at me weirdly saying "uhhhhh... no? what are you talking about" and they thought I was going crazy just like Will Smith.



If you look at the clip you can see his head move and you can actually find an article on the internet that claim that his head actually did move. Haha what slow people they are (my friends) so I was right all along bastards

The whole thing with Will Smith talking into the camera and saying that the infected ones had completely lost all human logic and emotion was supposed to be ironic in a way. Clearly the main reason the male guy stuck his head out into the sunlight, burning himself in the process, was because he was extremely upset that Will Smith took his girl. If somebody takes your wife in that manner, most humans would react in a similar manner. The fact that Will Smith does not even consider this as a possibility despite him being a very good scientist gives us a look into his character's psyche: he cannot think of them as human, if even a little. They MUST be completely as unhuman as possible, and he'll twist anything he sees to fit this view. But the infected guy DID set a trap. He DID follow Will Smith. blah blah blah. So obviously they have not lost all human traits as mentioned before, but that statement is merely there not to tell us the state of the infected (because the words clearly conflict with what is seen) but to dwell deeper into Smith's character.

I was also wondering why the guy himself didn't go out with the dogs, but whatever. The virus definitely affected people in different ways, and I just assumed in the movie that some of the infected lost more brain capacity than others, and so the "boss" guy was just one of the smarter more fortunate ones who asserted his dominance over the others.

Did you guys noticed that the "boss" infected wore military camo pants? Which means that he might have some strategic thinking skills left. Also near the end with the infected invasion on Neville's house, noticed how they attacked in waves? The "boss" infected probably predicted that Neville can kill a wave easily so he had multiple waves.

I'm pretty sure the dog died from him strangling her, didn't it? Besides, why would he keep the animal killing euthanasia stuff in the box with the cure? Heres the way I saw it go down.
1. He sees cuts, knows dog is infected for sure.
2. Crazy with sadness he does the only thing he thinks might help, gives the dog the experimental cure.
3. Within a minute the dog begins to transform into one of the infected and he thinks the cure was a failure, so he holds the dog tight and suffocates it.

If I remember right, he tried the cure on the lady before this, and it hadn't work then, so he really figured it was a failure anyway but it was worth a shot -> leads to him killing dog needlessly. If he had simply waited, the dog would have been cured.

This section in the movie wasn't incredibly clear, and it was hard to tell what Will Smith was thinking a lot of the time.

Great movie, i'm not a critic when i watch movies so i'd give a 4. Entertainment wise i enjoyed it, and they're way worse movies out there, so i think a 3 would be a bit harsh.

Geez, it's been said over and over. He killed the dog because his cure didn't work. He tried it on the infected woman, but it didn't work... yet. He then got the idea of using ice cubes to speed up the cure from Anna. But yeah, it just leaves the viewer guessing that Neville's thoughts were.

How did the woman get into Manhattan when they fucking quarantined it? Why does Neville just leave that cured zombie woman to die? Disappointing move imo, needed more polar bear action!

Edit: Why Quarantine when a virus is airborne lol
