   Number one thing virus outbreaks in movies teach us: It's always the monkeys fault.

      I saw that after I made my smarmy comment.
      
      They left out that in the plucky band of survivors, the blond girl will hook up with the unassuming, highly dangerous leader.

   I read this earlier (thank you, IMDb).
   
   It's all so true. I'd probably be the character who dies first.

      No, the black guy always dies first.

      Well, if I stand in the sun and get a strong enough tan, the black guy might be saved!

      I thought it was the young guy who always shows the picture of his wife and kids to his team.
      The black guy is one of the last ones to go - he's needed for comic relief and use of "street" lingo the the kids will relate to

      Oh, right. I always get these things wrong. In some cases, the black guy is the sole survivor!
      
      For my sake, I hope the virus is smart enough know this.
      
      (then again, I'd be a very useless part of the plot, so I'd just throw myself into the pit of, uh ... virii, and save you guys the trouble of helping me up when I trip over and fall)

      Or we vaccinate one another either by injecting or drinking from the vials containing the blue liquid - assuming the vials with green or red liquids are the virus itself

      Yep, but only if we are at a crucial moment. If you take the blue liquid too early, or as a preventative, you'll die. (Or so you think).

      Of course, because the vaccine is a strain of the virus itself and taking it too early would give the virus far too much time to mutate in ones system and create a super virus - leaving the story wide open for a sequel

      Good catch
      
      Oh, we can't forget the one brave soul who is immune to all of it, and offers their blood for a better vaccine in that sequel....

      We'll have to hire a composer or something. That part's going to need some sad tunes!

      I suggest danny elfman - he can also do upbeat tunes like the desperate housewives themesong

      Ah, yes ... Danny Elfman is my favorite. If we get him, he might be able to convince Tim Burton. Now that would be a twisted (in a good way) sequel.

      So starring alongside Depp and Bonham-Carter-Burton would also be a given then

   The post you referenced did not mention the finest example of this genre ie The Andromeda Strain (1971). Calls themselves a geek. Blasphemy!

      They don't specify the version and it hardly gets half a sentence. Burn them.
