The flawed basic premise

Thats another show that falls apart under the weight of its own premise. So I am supposed to believe that individual people can survive the threat of a zombie outbreak but somehow it manages to destroy the government.

They use this fact in exactly ONE episode and then never use it again.

It was that sort of stupid story logic that caused me to dump that series back in Season 3.

>caused me to dump that series back in Season 3.

Ah, then i guess you will be glad to know they used the sound distraction multiple times since. But in the walking dead its pretty much established that zombies are not a big threat compared to other humans.

"if the creatures were blind, how did they navigate running the woods and buildings without running into something"

LOL... that didn't even occur to me.

Speculating on echo location as you did, maybe that was the whole bit with them being overcome by high frequency noise. Maybe they did use high-frequencies to echo locate and that the hearing aid was the equivalent of a mega-loud sonar blast to them.

That introduces its own set of plot holes though... If they did echo locate then they should have been able to 'see' moving things, the way bats and Daredevil can, which would make it easy for them to hunt.

Maybe the noises made by humans and animals was the "signal" that told them: "Hey, meat on feet close by", i.e. the initial noise alerts them to a potential food source, then they use the sonar once they get closer to find and finish the prey.

Or maybe they DID bash into trees and other obstacles and that's why they were so angry all the time!

That clicking sound they made? Sounds like echolocation to me.

I don't think there was far more than 3. When the wife is looking at the monitors at the end we see 2 on one monitor and then 2 show up on another monitor (I think it was the same 2 just moving closer to the house). So the audience is shown anywhere from 3 (if same 2 on both monitors) to 5 (if different 2). Obviously there could be more that aren't shown.

Since when two is FAR more than three?

maybe YOU should pay more attention. There were two (2) creatures in the corn fields that bolted towards the barn, making three (3) in total.

While I agree there was the usual artistic license taken with this movie, I can see how the military might have a problem with these creatures. Hell, the real life U.S. military, as powerful and technologically advanced as it is, can 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 have trouble fighting low-tech, ragtag guerilla fighters like the Viet Cong and Al Qaeda.

Imagine that possibly thousands or even millions of these creatures spilled all over the Earth. Unlike the traditional enemy the militaries of the world are designed to fight, which hold territory that can be plotted on a map, the creatures quickly invade civilian population centers and embed themselves among their prey, rendering the use of high explosive weaponry, and aerial and armored vehicles nearly impossible. So, infantry would be tasked with hunting them down. But, as we saw, the creatures have a tough, bulletproof exoskeleton and are fast enough to decimate infantry as soon as they're in firing range.

In short, anything big and strong enough to take these creatures out would also risk killing civilians or, if the creatures are threatened, they appear fast enough to run and hide in the dark or wilderness. Anything small enough to avoid that problem, the creatures could easily kill in close quarters combat.

I'm in agreement with all of this. The only saving grace is if in the sequel (which seems to be in the works) it's revealed that the creatures were just one aspect of it and they weren't responsible (or just a small part of) the dire straits that humanity (and any other noise making animal) appeared to be in.

It's weird. In one of the newspapers it was saying "Army says no bullets! No bombs! Nothing, its armor is impenetrable!"

No, there were not dozens of them racing towards the house. There were only two. The final scene is on youtube.

To your other point, yes, it's possible that there are thousands or millions of these things on the planet. I'm only concerned with the flaws in this movie.

It's already been pointed out that certain types of white noise such as waterfalls render humans 'invisible' to the creatures. If they could go on stealth raids for supplies, they could surely have simply walked over to the other farms and organized a resistance that would meet by the waterfalls to discuss strategies.

(And, if mere civilians were able to figure out the waterfall trick, then the military/government would also have been quickly aware of this important fact.)
