10 Easily Avoidable Deaths In Sci-Fi Movies

10. Keep Your Finger Off The Trigger - Andrew Fassbach (World War Z)

Low as it may be, zombie films still have a bar to clear some bar to be considered believable. But, for the most part, World War Z gives a good account of itself in this area. Aside from one crucial moment, though, which lets it down.

At this point, humanity pinned all hopes for a cure on virologist Dr Andrew Fassbach. So, he heads to South Korea along with Brad Pitt's Gerry Lane and some military personnel. All armed and anticipating an attack from their flesh-eating antagonists, Gerry instructs Andrew to keep his finger off the trigger. That's sound advice, as it's an essential rule to uphold if you want to carry a gun safely.

Did the doctor follow this advice? Of course not. He starts running away in panic before slipping and falling over, shooting himself in the head in the process.

You could almost forgive this stupid decision, maybe as an attempt to demonstrate the importance of gun safety. Or, perhaps, how manic situations lead to irrational actions from even the most intelligent people.

Either interpretation, however, isn't quite enough to justify a death that somehow rendered a doctor more brainless than the zombies he was trying to cure.
