So something bother me and that's when the first girl died. They had this awesome tower to sleep in but somehot they decided to guard it from the ground? Why would you ever do that? I have a hard time seeing the bear climbing all the stairs and even if it did they would at least heard/seen him before he got up.
shareI thought the same. But it's just one of many stupid decisions / inconsistencies. Like, why hadn't the authorities tried short expeditions first - like 50 yards, then 100 yards etc into the shimmer? What about pulling a cabledrum for a cabled radio/datalink etc etc.
shareYeah a lot of things didn't make sense. They had been there for years and it didn't seem like they done anything (except sending in people to get killed and going "well okay they died").
shareMaybe they did, but those explorers didn't come back either.
Remember the women lost 3-4 days as soon as they stepped through the barrier. Something happens to anyone that enters, instantly.
Because of the barrier. It refracts digital and analog signals which effectively scrambles them. It instantly has a powerful effect on people's minds, making them amnesiac of whatever it is they did after stepping into the barrier. And it prevents anything inside from getting out. That is why mutant alligators and bears were not just walking out of the bubble and terrorizing the countryside. "Nothing comes out"
shareWhen all else failed they could have just nuked the damn thing.
It's not like the government would be opposed to last resort measures against everspreading disease-like territory
One of many bizarre and illogical aspects of this film.
shareWas thinking the same thing lol
share1. They didn't know it was going to be a bear. They had NO idea what was out there. For all they knew, the other members of Kane's squad could still be alive; turned into mutated insane freaks stalking them from just outside the base.
2. There was only one way in or out of the tower, so if anything that was too strong for them to fight off came up the stairs they would be screwed.
3. They had a closed-off perimeter around the base, but something could quietly break through it or go over/around it and sneak up on their sleeping place. The person on guard needed to be close enough to the fences to hear and see (with nightvision) anything trying to get through.
is that enough? It was not a good place to stay and they knew that, but Ventress said that it was too late in the day to move on.
1. And how would staying on the ground help them with that? If they where outside the base it would even be a bigger chance to see them from the tower.
2. Most of them still slept inside the tower. Yes i buy the reason of no escape but they have a bigger chance to just straight up die on the ground as they can be attacked from multiple directions.
3. Just as they would have seen if someone tried to get up the to the tower? Just less ground to cover.
Some good points but not enough reason to stay on the ground.
You can't guard the perimeter without the spotlight. You can't fall asleep with the spotlight on.
shareYeah the rest were inside that little hut on the ground and she was randomly outside in the dark ... gee she wasn't going to die...
it was teen horror flick level stuff.
