Yes, they are. Did we watch the same movie? You see them jump like crazy, and especially when they attack at the end. Look at the speed they are running at. Look how they jump. Look at them move around in the house at the end, especially the scene where Neville is shooting around at the mutant (I choose not to call them infected, that is so BS ripoff) in the kitchen. Look at the one who is attached to the roof where the woman and the kid is hiding under the bed. Look at how the mutants get into Neville's lab by sheer strength, and finally the super-mutant who is knocking holes in the plexi-glass with his brain. Oh, and not to mention the scene with Neville going suicidal on the pier... |

yes, you weren't the only one who was getting all teary eyed at that. The pure desolation of his existence would've caused me to put a bullet in my head long before that. |

i just went back and rewatched it, and come on, they werent THAT much stronger or faster than our nigga will was.. you DO notice an advantage and it is significant - their increased strength no doubt comes from the fact that their minds no longer function the same as a humans do, so they operate without the mental limits and safeguards that we have, which would give the appearance of increased strength and speed... as for their jumping like crazy + speed... i saw nothing that was outside of what you see free runners doing...
either way, the increase over human abilities that u do se, is DEFINATELY nothing to suggest they could punch through concrete or jump over the wall to the city at the end, which is what the discussion was originally about |

Although when they were chasing neville out of the hive they weren't able to catch up to him. It's just another plot device used very conveniently to make a movie more 'thrilling'. Like at the trap when neville is crawling ever so slowly to make for a nail-biter. Just like star trek where they can never use scanners/transporters/weapons when they are needed the most to make it more challenging.
 This is like arguing which is faster; warp 9.9 or hyperspeed. |
its warp 9.9 and i wont take anyone else suggesting otherwise!!
and yes it is a plot device to make the ending more exciting... either way, mutants or infected deifinately arent super human to any HUGE degree. |

I agree the movie is filled with plot holes/devices.
funny things :
1) of course the last survivor HAS to be the pinnacle of american society product: a biogenetic scientist/hyper healthy musculated body/ expert in military weaponry. and of course the world count on him alone to get the cure of a lethal virus. (why need teams of scientists? 1 can find cure faster than 100 brains)
2) of course the cure has to work on infected, after it does'nt work on rat, which shouldnt happen at all.
3) of course the latina chick was hidden around the corner watching him getting chased by infected, and choose the last moment to kill all of them and free him. (yea hes supposed to be surrounded by zombies, how the hell the chick manage to get to the car)
i could go on on the funny unrealistic stuff.
will smith+plot devices/holes = family friendly movie.

Did you miss the big baraboom from the grenade at the end?  Neville killed off the remaining mutants who had been following them most likely.
One thing I was pondering about though: If they blew all the bridges and destroyed all the tunnels during the quarantine - how did the latina chick drive out of there? |

It never showed her get into a car so I'm just guessing she found a car outside of New York and used that.

So true, and 28 days later didn't have to resort to CGI. |

I was rewatching the movie, and i dont know if its true, but it seems like when Neville is driving and sees the manikin (the trap), the manikin moves his head in the direction of Neville and thats why he freaks out and starts shooting it. I rewatched it several times, and to me it does look like it moves, maybe he was just imagining things, and we saw it from his POV.
Edit Tried to make a gif, image quality is crap, had to make it small.

Didn't neville's suv get totaled at the pier? When all the mutants were attacking him?

2 things: 1, it noticed that yes it did look exactly like nevilles, same colour, and same protective cover over the headlights... and 2: yes, his car got fucked up... so i chalk the entire ending up to lazyness and a bunch of silly plot devices to be honest.

Didn't see the movie yet, but sounds like product placement to me. Some car manufacturer sends them a car with a bag full of money so they use it. Producers don't give a crap about logic if they can make money.

Dunno if its been said, but how come he shuts alle the protections for the windows each night, but every morning when he wakes up... Its bright.
Also the first time he sleeps, he goes to sleep in his bathtub but wakes up in his bed.

dog opens all the protective shutters for him in the morning, and i think some form of teleportation answers your second question.
