Why didn't they [SPOILERS]


Watched this for the first time yesterday...

Matt Damon is immune!
And no one thought of testing his blood?
Not a single one got the idea to test Matt Damons blood for antibodies?!
Really?.....



My god a pg-13 Zombie movie what will they think of next?

He (Matt Damon) actually questioned that when he was in the hospital, but they said it wasn't that simple.

Clearly you missed the part of the movie where that was discussed. But you keep right on thinking you're smarter than everyone else.

They said in the hospital -- it's very hard to get a cure from someone's blood.

It was also a virus that was continually changing. They were dealing with mutations. His strain was different to the strain that appeared later on.

I'm afraid the "get a magic curing serum from a naturally immune person's blood" is more of a sci-fi trope than a realistic one.

reply

you don't understand - they just didn't like him.

What was cheesy about this movie is they had the husband of ''patient zero'' coincidentally be immune. What are the odds, eh?

Other than that I liked a lot of the film and the exact explanation of the virus's origins at the end.
