More disbelief than I could suspend

Rating: 5/10 (22 November 2008)

The upsides 1) a soundtrack that sounded like Massive Attack and 2) really intense action that often overwhelmed the multiple implausibilities.
The downsides: Too many implausible aspects that distracted from the plot. Why did the U.S. military try to repopulate Britain without making sure the ragers were all dead? Why did it bring only one virologist? Why did the commanders forget that London has a subway system that will allow the ragers to escape from a quarantined district? Why are all of the important doors either unlocked or bolted with a PlaySkool plastic chain? Why is everyone in this movie so careless? How does a Volvo manage to keep out poison gas? How does a t-shirt filter out poison gas? The Americans must have been counting on the same sort of of happy coincidences as this bank robber: www.newyorker.com/humor/2008/11/24/081124sh_shouts_handey.
Science fiction movies should require the viewer to suspend one or two major disbeliefs. To really enjoy this one, you've got the altered science, plus one or two abnormal human behavior in every single scene. That was way too distracting for me.
