GAR Dead Films - Universe and Timeline

[EvilNed]

I think Episode 3 is the weakest in the series. It's bad plot, coupled with the expected Prequel-trilogy crapfest adds up to one of the worst hollywood films of last year.

But the stories make even more sense when set in different timelines, no? Make more sense? Not really, but not less either. They make perfect sense to me as a continuation of the same outbreak.

[N2NOther]

So to you, it makes perfect sense that there's cellphones and pocket-radars in Land? No actually, but not because of continuity...Because those things are incidental...Keeping things in the 60's isn't important enough when he has something to say...The look and technology of the films isn't as important as the development of society in this situation...What doesn't make sense is how cell-phones would still work....

So basicly, it makes sense when you want it to, but when it doesn't make sense you just disregard it?

Seriously, The ONLY thing that this poll has proven to date is that at least eight stupid people have voted. Thus ONLY serving to confuse the already confused ... When GAR has already stated numerous times that these movies are NOT meant to be "connected" via a direct timeline, why would eight people here insist that they are? And eight become eleven, disabling the correct opinion, and thus proving my point ... congratulations to whoever it was who started this thread! The already confused are now officially further confused.

When GAR has already stated numerous times that these movies are NOT meant to be "connected" via a direct timeline, why would eight people here insist that they are? To me, there is a difference is saying they are not connected via a direct timeline, and that they dont exist in the same timeline. On MtV, there used to be a show called "Jackass". When President Clinton was in office, the United States was dropping bombs on Kosovo. Are these two events connected in any way? I dont think so. By mentioning them, it doesnt imply that they have anything to do with each other. But do they exist in the same timeline? Of course. They are not connected via a direct timeline, but they do both exist in the same timeline.

same universe... same time line but time line must be dictated by the viewer enough said... any one account notld 90 more up to date theres your basis for a beginning. as for the difference in notld 68 and 90 was the venus probe. no mention in notld 90 of the probe. so id say same time line and dawn and day fall after notld 90. one last example notice the opening of land and how they had 60's era radio in it in the openinig credits? ill go with my first arguement... besides the beer says im right

[The Alive Man]

one last example notice the opening of land and how they had 60's era radio in it in the openinig credits? Beautiful proof we're all in the Stretch. Never noticed that. Many thanks.

I have a 60's radio in my kitchen. Doesn't mean I'm IN the 60's.

[The Alive Man]

I have a 60's radio in my kitchen. Doesn't mean I'm IN the 60's. Indeed, Riley is *NOT* in the '60ies, but in 1988 A.C., three years after the events set in DAY (1985 A.C.) It's just that 1988 A.C., in that alternative dimension's Earth version, looks like a combo of different decades of OUR Earth.

So basicly, it makes sense when you want it to, but when it doesn't make sense you just disregard it? Do you have a reading comprehension problem? I mean you must because you read what is written and then infer things that weren't stated or even implied. It makes sense because the technology in the films is important to the current film, not maintaining some arbitrary era continuity.

It makes sense because the technology in the films is important to the current film, not maintaining some arbitrary era continuity. I agree with that. Its seems elementary to me. It is convienient to make it relevant to the current tiome when making a film, plus budgetary concerns preclude GAR from making them period pieces. Suspension of disbelief etc. No, Land is not in '88. Thats all hypothetical.
