Holes, big, funny and sometimes stupid.

There are luckily large portions of the film that are exciting and fun to watch. Then, as though its shoes were tied together, a saddening hole shows up. From the start, there is the family, casually sitting in unrealistic traffic, with room for no one, with a cross street very close behind them. Suddenly, a truck, given the above, is able to fit in-between cars and achieve high speed at a very short distance. Another one elicits an unintentional groan. The two main characters are the only ones to survive a massive plane crash. There are several others peppered along the way but the one that is more subtle but infinitely dumber appears in the CDC-like research facility. Not one lab on this earth will have such dangerous materials and protocols without carefully placed phones in every single room and hallway, in case of necessity and/or an accident. Gerry would never have been inside that "ground zero" pathogen room with just one phone somewhere out of reach and no ability to reach the outside world with only a camera to see in.
