Take it from a previous anorexic...
I've ever gone 36 days without food, but I've gone about a week on next to nothing and some water... trust me... this is movie wasn't even close to reality. Sure, I'd give them a few days and make allowances for adrenaline and survival instincts, but even after just 1 week of little to no food, I can tell you, they wouldn't be doing much else rather than sleeping. That's all you can do. Certainly after 2 weeks with absolutely nothing, they wouldn't be up and about and having physical fights with each other. No way. No way, Jose. They also would have experienced more of the dizziness and disorientation as well as stomach cramping and nausea. I know everyone's different, but come on! Even if I could overlook everyone else gusts of energy and lack of symptoms, You can't tell me that after 36 days with nothing but water, that Jordan would still be thinking perfectly clear, have the strength to kill someone, and climb up a rickety, 30 foot ladder. Come on people! This stuff is the scariest when it's realistic and you think it could actually happen to you.
