Dawn of the Dead - on Cable ((Dumb People??))

After watching this movie on cable, here are my observations:

1. "Andy" the guy with the gun store has an unlimited arsenal of weapons and bullets. Why doesn't he start blasting the zombies indiscriminately? At the end he starving and needs food. Why can't the mall survivers throw over or RC over some food? They sent over a dog carrying food. duh?
2. They live in the mall! There's "unlimited" stuff to play with. Leave me in the mall anyday with unlimited food, water, clothes, sporting goods, electronics, etc.. There's a bunch of stuff to rig together to destroy as many zombies as possible; just for fun. "Propane bombs, etc.."
3. Where are all the children? Did they all get bitten?
4. At the end, they sail off on a ship. I don't know about you, but sailing anywhere need rations and at least a bearing on where they're going. It's like drifting away on a lifeboat with no direction.

It's a movie, I know, but if its the end of the world and zombies are attacking - I'd know what to do.

It doesnt seem like you watched the whole thing through. They DO make it to an island and get off the boat. They leave the vid cam on the boat and go ashore and then you hear screaming and chaos and then you see the zombies overtake the boat via vid cam. Next time watch the whole thing.

Actually it was on Showtime, and they just cut into one of those "coming up next" deals.

But I like the "of the Dead" series. They're not too scary.

You use the word "unlimited" too much. Everything is finite in supply.

This is why the ONLY way to watch movies is from the dvd. I hate when networks cut out content, arbitrarily or not.
 
The original Dawn of the Dead was a better movie. The remaked seemed to lack some of the social commentary and subtle points that made the original more than just a gorefest.

1. In the "video journal" Andy made on the DVD, he tried. He shot over 200 of them and more kept coming up. I would have used all of the ammo in the store in the hope they might EVENTUALLY stop increasing their numbers, but from his experience he would consider spending more time shooting them futile. It didn't matter if they used an RC car (probably with less carryin power than the dog) or not; he was too weak to quickly close the door to his shop in the movie. By opening the door for the food, he became zombie chow. Unless they could rig up a catapault that could throw food onto the shop, no way he could get safely fed. Even if they made a catapault, there's no telling if they would be able to throw food to Andy without wasting most of their supplies, since I doubt any of them knew how to run the calculations to throw the food correctly in one shot.
2. The boat thing was stupid; I would have stayed in the mall until the supplies were almost used up, then made a break for it after that point. Given how many zombies were outside, and increasing every day, maybe they assumed that if they waited there would be too many for even a petrol bomb and a death mobile to get them out.
3, Most adults didn't even survive the zombie plague. With that type of question, you might as well ask about what happened to all of the handicapped, jewish, chinese, elderly, mentall insane, etc. people not covered in the movie.Who cares?
4. End of the movie covered this. The lack of supplies, nautical knowledge, or a map would have put me off doing it ignoring all of the many other factors making the plan idiotic. They managed to have both the engine break and run out of fuel at the same time. I don't know WTF was up with the head. One of the old Romero rules was destroying the brain or "removing the head" would kill them. Of course, Romero himself ignored this rule in Day of the Dead and Land of the Dead.

Still one of my favorite movies, despite the many many plotholes.
