The flashback where Smith’s wife and daughter are evacuated by helicopter: another helicopter was crashing out of control and seemed to be headed straight for the rescue helicopter, then Smith abruptly wakes up from the dream and we don’t see what happened after that. I think Smith actually witnessed the collision/crash and death of his wife and child which is why he never went searching for them later.

I don’t know why there’s such a debate about who set the trap for Smith. In spite of Smith’s declaration that the darkseekers had devolved and lost all human characteristics by that point, it is more likely that there was an ongoing process of losing their humanity while evolving into something else. Perhaps less intelligent and more instinctual, with their behavior dictated more by base animal survival mechanisms. But the darkseekers have obviously not lost all of their intelligence, since they have been stalking Smith for some time, and were able to copy his own trapping method (some irony there) to capture him. They moved his mannequin/friend Fred to act as a decoy intended to lure and confuse him, which worked pretty well.

Yes, I think the alpha male darkseeker was intent upon retrieving its female companion from Smith’s lab.

I recall some mention of rabies in one of the background newscasts. That the virus caused rabid-like behavior. Rabies used to be called hydrophobia in the old days. Those stricken with rabies are sensitive to light, foam at the mouth, become delirous, etc. Yet, the doctor who created the mutated virus said it was a variation of measles. Measles? How do you get to zombies from measles? They should have stuck with the rabies theme, especially since dogs are among the infected (and rats) but, apparently not lions, deer or birds.

Bad plot twist: the sudden appearance of Anna and the child, right after Smith loses his canine companion. Where has she been all this time? Nice haircut, looking none the worse for wear? How was a vulnerable female and child able to survive for 3 years when Smith had to barricade himself behind iron doors every night?

Also, if there was an uninfected colony in Vermont, couldn’t they hear Smith’s radio broadcast and try to contact him?

I didn’t like the cgi zombies and their superpowers didn’t make much sense. The zombies from Omega Man were closer to those in the book (they had a leader, a society, etc).

Also, She came to him and was “sent from GOD” how oddly strange. And only when he sees the light himself and listens to GOD, he sacrifices himself and save mankind with his “own BLOOD.”

I like the movie that felt like it was pushed by people with hidden agendas.
