At the beginning of the movie and throughout, the characters talk like the Judas Breed is extinct, no longer a threat. Then we get the garbage man revelation that the war is already lost near the end. Did I miss something? If there was an ongoing war between Man and the Judas Breed, then why do people so casually walk around the streets at night and seem surprised when they run into Long John?
shareJust watched the movie for the first time and came here directly!
What he meant was that the "war" is already lost, before it even begins.
The Mimics have been hoarding eggs, so when they hatch them all, we can't win.
That part I understand, but it still does not answer whether the Judas Breed is considered extinct at the beginning of the film or what exactly is the situation. If the Judas Breed is still considered a danger, why are so many people wandering the streets alone at night?
shareI guess it's because people disappear all the time, and.. yeah, it could've been a better movie.
But it's like the other movies establish, that you may see the mimics and don't even know it.
I assume that the last public/official sighting was at around 10 years before the movie, and during that time they'd been hoarding eggs.
Still, it doesn't explain the pigeons, the garbage man, the people he's dealing with, and how he got his hand on the eggs.. pretty much nothing is explained.
I think I kind of get it now after I watched the movie again. The Judas Breed is 'laying low', but since Garbage Man steals some King Eggs, he forces them out of hiding, and they are basically trying to get the eggs back which is why they are suddenly appearing above ground killing people.
It's still really kind of weird why someone would steal their eggs to sell as some kind of biological weapon so he could go 'as far away from civilization as possible'. If he's going far away from civilization, what does he need money for.
