10 Worst Movie Decisions With Unbelievable Consequences

It clearly has to be a decision based on little empirical study to re-engineer measles to cure cancer, especially given that it gets so out of control that it wipes out 99% of the world’s population.

How does one mess up that badly? How do they make such a miscalculated decision with weaponising a virus that they manage to wipe out most of humanity?

This terrible decision in medicine-manufacturing is what brings about the apocalypse in 2007’s I Am Legend. Those that the virus doesn’t end up killing are instead mutated into vampiric cannibals who hunt the few remaining uninfected humans.

We follow Will Smith’s Robert Neville as he toils daily in pursuit of a cure, eventually managing to formulate a cure which outlives him, going on to save humanity.

Had those scientists not tried messing around with re-engineering measles in the first place, none of this would’ve happened - and Neville wouldn’t have had to strangle his own dog to death.

Dark, dark times.
