bright lights

Rating: 7/10 (18 January 2008)

I thought the movie was good and the acting was great, but thought it was not very realistic. The zombies that the infection created were supposed to be affected by ultraviolet rays, not artificial light. If they are smart enough to set a trap for Neville, they should be smart enough to carry sunglasses in case they are exposed to bright headlights. Why didn't Neville ever tune in a short-band radio and here the survivor broadcast from Vermont? Why didn't the survivors ever hear Neville, did he really think the AM band was the only way to reach people? How could he install all the heavy duty window coverings in his house without ever being heard by the zombies? Why didn't he just find a more secure place to live and do his experiments? After three years of storage, most gasoline will have some water in it from condensation, but Neville's autos all ran fine. If the zombies ever did get Neville, there wouldn't be much meat to go around, so why are they all under the command of one zombie? Oh well, it is a fun movie to watch and creepy to think about.
