My problem with both movies | Thread profile

First, I really like both of them. There is just one thing that has always bothered me. Both movies talk about how long it take the infected to starve to death. Wouldn't they die of dehydration long before that? If they're so blind with rage that they don't eat, then it stands to reason that they don't drink either. You can live without food for weeks, but without liquids, much ...

UPDATED Sun Jul 20 2008 21:33:51 Since the infected are not zombies, they don't eat you,but clearly they bite alot and I am sure alot of blood is swallowed..I am sure that would help with hydration quite a bit. Plus, it was England..it rains alot there..Even if they didn't show it, It is logical to assume they ingested water on purpose or not. Sunshine-Best Sci-Fi movie ...

With all the vomiting up of blood they do you'd think they'd die of blood loss. I'm so hungry I could ride a horse.

UPDATED Sun Jul 20 2008 17:05:36 you are right we can't last more than a few days withough water, and with all the running and vomitting, they must have died very fast. It can also be argued that the virus prolonged the infected's life span; personaly, i give them no more than 7 ddays. You have to remember that the population of Great Britian is around 60 million people. In ...

"Plus, it was England..it rains alot there..Even if they didn't show it, It is logical to assume they ingested water on purpose or not." Yeah, like in the first movie when it didn't rain for ten (or so?) days -- as said by dad.

Yet it was raining during the entire final soldiers seen in 28 days later and no talk of drought in 28 months later. Sunshine-Best Sci-Fi movie since Alien.

UPDATED Wed Jul 23 2008 21:18:43 they ingested water on purpose or not. I'm just curious. How exactly would they ingest water by accident? For argument's sake let's just say that an infected person fell asleep with their mouth open and it started raining. There's a better chance that the water is going to go down their windpipe as opposed to their esophagus. All ...

Well, a) it seems that the Infected may absorb their own blood into their stomaches as a symptom, which would not only serve to keep them hydrated for a limited amount of time, but also account for why they vomit blood too. I mean, they don't drink their victim's blood, do they? b) the virus causes them to ignore their bodies' physical limitations and needs- they don't seem to ...
