Plot clarification


So am I to understand that the disaster was caused by blowing up the germ-carrying missiles, thereby releasing the plague into the upper atmosphere where it spread?

reply

Yes, and Robert Neville was the only one with the cure.

reply

Thanks, it's been a while since I've seen this. I remember Neville saving himself with the serum, but I had forgotten some of the minor details. I vaguely remembered some sort of flashback in which an Army guy explained that they were spreading the plague by blowing up the missiles.

reply

Oh you gotta re-watch it. For all of it's plot holes, and they're are large and many, it's still a really cool movie to see.

reply

What plot holes? Just curious as to what you found as far as flaws.
