    not true. a huge part of the movie was will smith realizing they were smart and valued their friends/significant others. for example, the one hurt himself trying to save the female one. it took them a while but they were developing socially. which if you read the book is closer to how the book was. in the book they became the higher life forms.

    as far as zombies go, if you are in the military you should always survive. why will smith, with his rank and importance chemically, didn't grab some form of an apc is beyond me. screw hiding. park that thing in your front yard and sleep in it at night. plenty of room for a cot, food, etc. then work in your house during the day. absolute worst case scenario, get a boat and park it a little ways off the coast with a small raft to drive back and forth during the day.

    it would be awesome to own a cadillac gage v100 or something. thing moves at 60 mph, armored, decent room, several shooting platforms, easy to drive, engine can be fixed with typical engine parts, etc. would be useful for all kinds of disasters/anarchy.

    I still say they were zombies. Not often do you see vampire movies where they are in massive groups and work together as a whole. I never read the book just saw the movie and I will say they were more advanced zombies than the ones on zombieland. But I also consider liberals pretty much like zombies.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    im not saying they are or are not zombies. im simply saying they were more intelligent and social than your typical run of the mill zombies.

    They were vamps because the sun harmed them, they could only go out at night or when there was no sunlight.

    Default vampire vs zombie

    Huh?

    They're "evolving" and "devloping social structure" and somebody thinks that parking a boat offshore or an APC to sleep in would work?

    Which is it, they're stupid like zombies and wouldnt' figure it out, or they're smart like vampires and would..

    can't have both! Unless you add werewolves or something

    in i am legend he isn't trying to survive forever. he is looking for a cure. you don't need to survive them forever. they also were developing very slowly. a boat would buy you a lot of time. besides, they didn't even know where his house was, they would never be able to figure out where his boat is. apc is even better. so what if they have some evolution and social structure. they still can't get into an apc until they start using power tools. if you've seen the movie, they were FAR from that. even if they DID use power tools, it would be difficult to do. apc is by far the best option.
