This was very different from the first movie, and as such I didn’t know what to expect. It seems weird that the primary villains of the movie are an organization that is trying to save the human race from extinction – granted, they might be a bit dodgy in their methodology, but the ends do justify the means when there’s no other solution in sight. Maybe the next movie will reveal that they created the virus or something along those lines, but that would be predictable. I might read the books so I don’t have to wait at least another year to find out...
