The only thing that I would have changed was the end, by explaing more in depth his reasons for his (technically speaking) suicide. Unless you really know character development and story lines, it's a bit hard to see exactly why he choses death over crawing into hiding with the others, and though there is a sense of hope in the ending, it didn't feel like it was enough of a hope just to have a blood sample with the cure in it, and a colony of survivors. The infected people showed no desire to want to be cured. How, even though the survivors have the blood sample, are they going to use this on the infected people, who are completely rabid and savage? Are they going to bother catching infected people, or just hope they all die eventually? Do they even have the technology to develope a vaccine/ cure from the blood at the colony? Maybe I was supposed to have questions like that in my head by the end of it. I still enjoyed the fast cars, his fight for both physicial and mental survival, the tears (probably cried more than I should have), and how absolutely creepy the Infected were. It was a great balance of everything, and I would like to see more come from this movie, (cool VG? sequel?) 681447@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Dec 2007 13:40:06 EST
