US Army going away from town--not a goof

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2007)

Small spoiler
In the goofs section it says that it is a continuity issue as to what direction the Army vehicles are coming from--I disagree.
I felt that it was established that the Army base everyone was whispering about in the beginning was on the opposite side of the town. If this were the case it would make sense that the Army vehicles would go through the town and clean that up, working their way out to where Drayton ended up. Also, on the rescue vehicle, if you're paying attention, the woman who leaves the store to get to her children is on the refugee truck, I think this strongly hints that they went through the town first.
All in all I thought it was a great film...I can't say whether it was a good adaptation or not since it's easily been 12 yrs since I read the book, but I think the fact that as the movie progressed more and more people got up to leave because it was so terrifying (not the monsters mind you, but the PEOPLE) is a great vote of confidence for this film.
