Goofs:
continuity:
When Jim is walking through London,the clock on Big Ben says 8:15. In the next shot, it says 6:40.
continuity:
Just after the blockade scene when the group is led by the militia to the mansion, two soldiers open the gate, one of them is played by Marvin Campbell, who is also playing Private Mailer, the Chained infected in the compound. Dany Boyle has explained this continuity error is due to the role of Campbell being upgraded during filming.
continuity:
While escaping the military-guarded location, Jim is wearing a green shirt and his hands are bound. After scaling the wall and dropping to the other side, his shirt has been caught on the razor wire atop the wall, but his hands are still bound.
factual error:
When the main characters are leaving London, they stop off at the super market for food. When inside the store, it is clearly illuminated by artificial lighting. There is meant to be no power in the city. Strangely when they leave there is a shot of the outside, which clearly shows the shop in complete darkness.
factual error:
When Major West and the unit he belonged to were deployed to the original motorway barricade, or whatever mission they were initially assigned, chances are, with the speed and haste that the infection spread among the population and masses, they were probably deployed immediately with their camouflaged field uniforms they were currently wearing and all the necessary equipment, NBC gear, weapons, ammunition, explosives, that they could carry. Yet we see him at the dinner in his dress uniform. It would be highly unlikely that he would have put that dress uniform in his equipment kit bag or backpack, which each individual soldier either hand carries a carries over his back.
factual error:
Major West’s SA80 fires many more rounds than would likely be in the magazine. Most hand-held weapons give less than a minute of fire before they need to be reloaded. The standard mag. on a SA80 holds 30 rounds.
revealing mistake:
About eleven minutes in, someone walks up a distant sidewalk. Since Jim is calling out for someone, that person would’ve heard Jim, or Jim would’ve seen him. Clearly, the person is not part of the movie.
revealing mistake:
In a shot across the deserted Westminster Bridge, the traffic lights at the junction of Bridge Street and Victoria Embankment are red. However, the national power grid has been shut down.
revealing mistake:
After leaving the hospital, when Jim stands at the bottom of steps at the junction of Carlton House Terrace and Waterloo place, someone is walking down the hill on the right.
anachronism:
The Access credit card used had been defunct since the mid-1990s.
anachronism:
At about 1 hour Frank’s cab is shown clean and shiny as if recently waxed but it’s been idle for a month and hasn’t been washed.
anachronism:
The aircraft seen at the end of the movie is a Folland Gnat with Finnish markings. However, Finnish Gnats were retired since 1972.
error in geography:
Frank drives his taxi through the Blackwall Tunnel because «it’s the most direct route to the other side of the river.» They start on the north side of the river and head north toward Manchester. Going through the Blackwall Tunnel would actually take them south.
error in geography:
On the radio broadcast about the location of the blockade, it says it is on the M602, north-east of Manchester. But the M602 only runs west of Manchester.
error in geography:
The blockade is supposed to be situated North East of Manchester. Yet during the scene when Jim escapes back to it, the signs read Blackpool and Fleetwood, and also shows signs for Lancaster and the Lake District. These signs are only seen on the M6, running to the West of Manchester.
plot hole:
Since the zombies in this movie aren’t undead, or – presumably – physiologically altered in any significant way (the writers have said that they liked the idea of a plague that altered people psychologically instead), their metabolism must be more or less that of a normal person. Hence, they would die of thirst in a few days especially given the fact that they projectile vomit liters of blood at the time, or, if they drink, starve to death in a few more – especially since it doesn’t seem that they eat who they kill, or much of anything else (we see no half-eaten corpses or anything like that, groceries are left untouched etc.).
plot hole:
Jim becomes a hospital patient in a coma following a bicycle accident. Shortly into his stay, rage-infected zombies would have attacked all the patients before moving out from the hospital. One could assume that Jim would have been attacked, but clearly steps were taken to hide him as much as possible (blinds closed, door locked with key on the floor on his side). Although Jim has an IV bag connected to his arm, any fluid nourishment would be depleted from the bag within a few hours, at the most. Even without being attacked by roving hordes of infected, two weeks or more without nourishment would cause death by dehydration and starvation.
plot hole:
The beginning of the movie explains that the Rage Virus makes people lose a lot of blood. When Jim is walking around the destroyed hospital and streets, there is no blood anywhere.
Plots:
Four weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the United Kingdom, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary.
A group of animal rights activists breaks into a lab and releases chimpanzees from their cages to rescue them, despite warnings from a scientist that the chimpanzees are contagious. As a result of the animal rights activists’ actions, a virus that the chimpanzees contained spreads rapidly across Great Britain and infects numerous people. Jim, who fell into a coma following a bicycle accident shortly before the virus was released, emerges from his coma and finds that London is deserted. He realizes that he is not alone, as within the city there are those that have been infected and those that have not. Jim manages to find more survivors and they head out to Manchester, where a group of British military personnel offer protection of any survivors from the infected. However, Jim and his colleagues have no idea what they’re in for.
When animal rights activists storm into a research facility in Cambridge and unknowingly release a chimpanzee infected with a genetically engineered disease, the horrible virus escapes into the population. As a result, the uncontrollable and highly transmittable pathogen locks the infected into a permanent state of murderous rage. It took 28 days for the virus to sweep across the entire nation. As a handful of resilient survivors attempt to salvage a future, a shocking discovery awaits them: the deadly virus is the least of their worries.
