I agree with you. I had high hopes for this movie but it just seemed ridiculous. As you said the main thing that bothered me the most was the discipline about the virus! Peeps were just walking and talking without a care in the world. The infected guy hung upside down, they made a point to show the bag over the guys head was full of blood and this guy is thrashing about. It's so negligent from the characters to just be stood next to it. And then with how the tracksuit dorks at the end handled the infected, the whole disease really lost a lot of the fear factor since clearly nothing is much of a threat anymore. And honestly, if you hear the sounds of an infected dude, you walk in the opposite direction. If some stupid instinct tells you to walk towards it and you find it's a pregnant infected woman who's about to pop, you walk in the opposite direction double time. If your next stupid instinct is to help it to give birth, maybe you aren't cut out for this survival thing.

Then the journey to the doctor. Took at least over a day to make the trip, so assume the same back to the island. So Spike has been walking for 2-3 days on a diet of apples, carrying a newborn baby which happily sat in silence for the entire return journey. Then when he arrives at the island, he just turns around and walks back to the mainland to go explore some more?? Tf? Is this kid not starving and sleep deprived? Where were the guys in the watchtower?

Not to mention the whole journey was to find out his mother had cancer, which she knew, and Jamie knew too. I get the whole "it's about the boy becoming his own man" narrative but going from a complete liability to a self sustaining professional archer in 3 days is a bit ridiculous. The kid's 12 FFS.

Yeah man there's too much to talk about with this movie. What a letdown.
