Positive. They specifically stated several times that there were news reports of the disease in New York and Paris before all the broadcasts stopped.
-> It was later alluded that neighboring countries were NOT affected.
1) I don't recall a single bat swing offing any zombie in the film.
Then you probably didn't see the same movie. That was the primary method by which they were killed. Selena even cracks a joke about this calling Jim "slugger".
-> I still don't seem to recall seeing any zombies taken down with one single swing. Most of them took at least a couple. The ones that were taken out quickly probably received massive head trauma. Loss of brain function == dead zombie.
2) Infected never made it across the oceans. Britain was quarantined.
Um, again you obviously didn't watch the movie. And even if they did never make it out of britain, after 28 days (hell, 56 days by the ending), woudn't neighboring countries be bombing the place or at least doing fly-by zombie shootings?
-> You have to watch AND listen to the movie next time. They said that the island was left alone to see if the zombies would starve to death. Have you thought about the incredible undertaking it would be to bomb a country the size of England? Look at how much munitions we used to bomb Baghdad alone. There would be simply no way to ensure complete annihilation of the zombie population unless WMD were used, and even then some might be hiding underground and out of range.
3) This movie has immense amounts of terrifyingly accurate social commentary. But seeing as how you want to be spoon fed your creamed spinach, it probably went way over your head.
Or at least it attempts to make some commentary... Personally I find Beavis & Butthead gets the message across better, yet is deeper.
