Continuity Of Dawn '04 Characters

But as somebody else pointed out ... I don't think the director was even thinking in that direction. Unfortunately, that's a far too common occurance in cinema today.

snyder used common sense. blood doesnt carry airborne viruses. if that was the case,they ALL would have been turned withing 5 minutes of being in that mall.

I did notice that as well, but just chalked it up to maybe a rewritten scene. On a different note, something similar happened in the original when roger gets sprayed in the face by zombie blood while he is in the truck trying to hot wire it.

it's a good thing that it wasn't 28 days later blood. That was instant infection right there.

You know, I always thought that shot of her washing her hands in the fountain seemed out of place. I never liked it. Like something was supposed to happen...then just didn't...

Zack has a fascination with hands in water. See 300 when the Queen waves her ahnd in the water fountain just before meeting Theron whenhe brings her child to him.

I recall thinking something sinister was going on with the water based on how they filmed it. I've thought that each time I watched it. I wondered if they meant to do something with that and then decided against it. My guess is they were simply throwing a red herring out there to make us feel uneasy. I believe that Dawn '04 started Day 1, probably in the first few hours of the outbreak. Look at the situation in the hospital. They didn't appear to be on any kind of heightened alert status, nor was there any indication that they were even peripherally aware that a situation was unfolding. That doesn't make any sense if the outbreak was days old. At the first sign of a nationwide outbreak of violence and traumatic injury the hospitals would've been alerted and the current staff on duty would've been asked to remain through the next shift. I believe that would've happened in the first few hours and I believe we were seeing the first evidence of it as Sarah was leaving the hospital. Add to that the fact that Sarah left the hospital and made it home seemingly unaware of any potential danger. She acted like nothing she'd seen or heard in the past 12 hours was any bit out of the ordinary. I think the fact that the neighborhood remained unaware throughout the night adds to the evidence that the events began within the previous 12 hours prior to daybreak. The suburbs wouldn't have been the first places overrun. The people all went to sleep not believing anything was amiss. By morning it had spread to the suburbs, all hell was breaking loose, and the neighborhood was waking to a nightmare.
