I am Legend

I enjoyed the movie, but so many questions. Some of these questions might be stupid or might have been answered if I’d paid better attention to the movie, but here they are:

First, how did Robert Neville get all that lab equipment into his basement? I suppose that while the virus was starting up, he might have gotten some help from the military.

Second, if “the infected” are smart enough to put together a trap, why aren’t they smart enough to track Robert Neville’s daytime movement more carefully? They obviously knew where he went to get his videos. I suppose you could argue that they didn’t track him to the video store, but instead randomly came across it during their night walks and made the assumption that this was where Robert Neville hung out at times.

Third, how could Anna and Ethan survive in a truck with “the infected” all around the country?

Fourth, I understand that there is easily a breakdown in communication when a country falls apart, but why was Robert Neville unable to get into contact with the safe zone over a 3 year period? Anna and Ethan had obviously heard of this safe zone so why wouldn’t Robert Neville with all that fancy equipment of his not have known about this safe zone as well? And if he somehow wasn’t aware, why wasn’t the safe zone looking for him? Anna knew that Robert Neville was an important figure in the fight against the virus. Wouldn’t this safe zone be interested in figuring out if Robert Neville was still alive in New York? And wouldn’t the safe zone also be sending out messages to the potentially uninfected?

Fifth, if “the infected” have this ability to scale three story townhouses, wasn’t the safe zone walls rather short?

Sixth, what are all the side effects of being infected? You obviously look awful, but you’re still able to strategize. You turn extremely vicious and violent, but you also wear cloths and hoard American dollars.

Seventh, for a city with the infected in it, the city looked remarkably well kept. The infected looked a bit vicious, I just wonder why more damage wasn’t done to the city.

Eight, what do the infected eat after three years? I suppose they feed on animal flesh.

Ninth, do the infected reproduce?

Tenth, so Robert Neville uses a grenade to kill off the leader of the pack. So wouldn’t using a grenade in the basement cause problems for Anna and Ethan who are in the safe? Couldn’t a blast potentially jam the door?
