We are led to believe the UK has been cut off from the rest of the world to prevent the 'rage' virus from spreading. All of the soldiers are evil rapists except two. They all die. Jim, Selena and Hannah escape the soldiers' house and make it to a remote farm house. They put up what at first seems to be a distress sign as a army plane flies over them, but it is later revealed to say "hello," since they are actually safe and are not in need of being saved. They have escaped the quarrantine. The newly released alternate ending features Jim dying in the hospital as Selena tries to revive him and Hannah watches over. Once they realize it's hopeless, the last view is of them walking away, leaving Jim's corpse.

Visible crew/equipment: Watch the scene where Frank gets killed. In the last shot of this scene, we see a soldier standing over the dead body. Keep an eye on the right side of the screen as the camera slowly moves away and you should see one of the cameras and a cameraman on the ground next to a large metal object.
Selena: It started as rioting. But right from the beginning you knew this was different. Because it was happening in small villages, market towns. And then it wasn't on the TV any more. It was in the street outside. It was coming in through your windows. It was a virus. An infection. You didn't need a doctor to tell you that. It was the blood. It was something in the blood. By the time they tried to evacuate the cities it was already too late. Army blockades were overrun. And that's when the exodus started. Before the TV and radio stopped broadcasting there were reports of infection in Paris and New York. We didn't hear anything more after that.
Trivia: The dramatic pause, as the taxi hits the gate near the end of the film, is done so because this was the original ending. Test audiences didn't like the ambiguity of the ending and wanted something more succinct, and so we got an ending-like sequence followed by the actual ending.
Question: Aren't distances in Europe designated in kilometers? Col. Henry West says he and his men are located 27 miles NW of Manchester. I figured he'd use the equivalent distance in kilometers,43 km. Is this common in Europe to use either measurement?

Answer: The metric system is used in mainland Europe, but very rarely in Britain. Road signs are still measured in miles in Britain, and distances usually are too.
