28 Days or Weeks, The Premise is Ridiculous!!!

Rating: 1/10 (23 August 2007)

1: the gestation period is like 5-320 seconds max for someone to become a blood thirsty berserker. That is not how viruses work. A virus doesn't change genetic or behavioral attributes, it replicates itself from cell to cell and the "hijacking" of theses cells and the following eruption of the virus from the cell thereby breaking it apart cause damage to a person. If a virus were to affect a person so quickly, that in itself would cause the body to shut down, not get up and become inhumanly strong!
2: the Infected seem to be mutated into pain impervious super-humans. Okay, that might somehow be possible, but how can the writers expect me to even remotely believe that a virus can make a person's whole skeletal structure stronger than steel. Say some guy, Jack, is infected - Jack is mad with "Rage" and wants to lay waste to everything around him, don't forget that they are so "Furious" that they have no coherent thought at all except the need to bite another person and will do ANYTHING to get at the intended victim - are you telling me that Jack can do what martial artists train for decades to accomplish? That they can break through doors with just their hands without the repercussions of broken fingers??? Yeah, right, and my mom flies faster than Superman! During the Helicopter scene we see Doyle shoot an Infected and his abdomen is halved... this guy continues running - defying basic tenets of physics - he lacks the whole right side of his abdominal musculature shouldn't he have collapsed on that side and lost his balance? Lot's more of junk like that to complain about.
Like Don getting infected before killing his wife, he has massive spasms and is shown banging his head against the glass window with tremendous force. The makers of the movie want us to remember that these are normal humans who have been drastically affected by a virus - they go out of their way to prove that these people can die. So, why didn't Don collapse his own skull pounding it that way on the glass??? He should have died then and there from those spasms. It is has been known to happen that an epileptic can cause a person to swallow their own tongue or bite straight through it. I'd say that would stop even the most "Raged" human body cold, wouldn't you? What of the blood loss also? Where's all that coughed up blood coming from? Doesn't a human body need it's circulatory system intact to perform strenuous physical feats? Where is the oxygen coming from into their muscles? Anaemia anyone?
3: I still wonder, how do they mean to explain away the fact that the Infected don't attack Infected. What virus can do that? A rabid dog with bite another rabid dog, it doesn't distinguish healthy from infected - how does this virus make them so discriminatory???
4: One last question. They show the blood vessels in Andy's (the kid brother's) eyes swirling with blood activity, almost becoming red and then clearing but leaving only the irises a new color. Eye color is determined by melanin in the cells located there. Pigmentation from melanin is very different from redness caused by flooding of blood in the irises. Not likely. Also the lymphatic system is mostly responsible for cleaning up junk from in between cells - ever notice how long it takes bruising to clear up? How does the virus make the capable of clearing up all that free floating blood in seconds? For that matter, how did it replicate fast enough to burst enough capillaries in the first place to make so much blood visible in the eyes??? How? How? How? That is all the movie makes you wanna ask.
