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.
