*SPOILER ALERT* How did the I AM LEGEND creatures set up the mannequin trap in front of the building?


Here is what I don't understand: How did the viral creatures become so intelligent? The trap was quite sophisticated. The creatures also correctly intuited that Dr. Neville would respond to the mannequin. How so? He only engaged in pseudo-conversations with the mannequins during his daily walks to the store. Weren't the viral creatures confined to dark interiors of buildings and basements during the day? How then would they have happened to observe the intricacies of his pseudo-interactions with and senile dependency on the mannequins? Plus, if they were so intelligent, how come they cannot talk and how come the leader of the pack could not understand Neville's insisting that he had developed a cure? Didn't Neville state earlier in the movie that the creatures exhibited extremely sub-human levels of intelligence?

This question keeps popping up. Shows you how difficult this movie is to understand. First of all. It was daylight. The zombies couldn't survive in daylight. Earlier that morning (his birthday) Neville talks to Fred at the video store and later tells Sam (the dog) that he will say hello to the female mannequin tomorrow (we see him do that the next day and he says to the mannequin that he promised his friend yesterday that he'd say hello). So, in the morning he talks to Fred and later that day he sees him on the street. There was no way the Dark Seekers (notice the name?) could put Fred there in the daylight. Also the next night he puts a mannequin at the desk by the water where he would usually sit so they thought it was him and he started running them over with his SUV. Why would they fall for the same sort of trap they used on Neville?

In the original script for the movie back in 1997 (when Arnold Schwarzenegger was to star, but was never filmed) he was setting up some traps and gets snared by one of his own when he was distracted by something in one of the buildings. The rest of the scene is similar in the Will Smith movie, except that the zombies don't release the hellhounds. They just show up by themselves as night approaches.

I think he put Fred there and forgot about it and got caught in his own trap. In the Will Smith movie they never show the zombies with any sort of intelligence. If the movie makers wanted you to think that they did, then they should have showed that. You never actually see them doing anything intelligent. But then again this movie doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The original novel makes sense.

Also, about how the creatures found the house. He tells Anna his address but not to go there until daylight or the zombies will follow them there. I guess she didn't. They don't show what time he gets there, he just wakes up on the couch later. It must have been morning then because Anna and the boy were eating breakfast.

The novel was much cooler because the vampires (not zombies) had surrounded Neville's house every night from the beginning calling him to come out. "Come out Neville!" That would have been cool in the movie, but alas, so would a lot of things from the book....

in the movie i am legend", how did the mannequin (FRED) move from the movie store to in front of that building


Some believe the viral creatures moved the mannequin and set up the trap.

Here is what I don't understand: How did the viral creatures become so intelligent? The trap was quite sophisticated. The creatures also correctly intuited that Dr. Neville would respond to the mannequin. How so? He only engaged in pseudo-conversations with the mannequins during his daily walks to the store.

How then would they have happened to observe his pseudo-interactions with and senile dependency on the mannequins?
