      I’ve got it. Blind people AND killer plants. Big money here we come!”
      And then this movie ends up flipping so hard that the only time people actually watch it is some random movie recap vid on CZcams.

This means he has a resistance to the venom when he gets stung working on a farm as an adult so it didn't blind him completely and he was able to recover just in time for the events of the film.

    I'd say the most unbelievable part of this film was the idea that we would immediately abandon the blind populace like a group of eliteists, and that all the blind people would walk around in gang mentality like a pack of zombies. If I went blind and a state of emergency was declared, the last thing i would want to do is go outside. If i ran out of food i would find my way to the grocery store one block at a time.

      1960's actually. In the late fifties J G Ballard wrote a disaster novel (Wind From Nowhere) about how earth's atmosphere starts rotating with increasing speed, so at the end, everything on our planet is literally blown away, except at the poles. and the massive superstorm even starts to "eat" Earth's outer crust. Ballard's description of this is quite horrifying. At the time I found it the ultimate in disaster novels. But he distanced himself from the book as being too cliché. He started another disaster series that is much more interesting, particularly in psychological terms: The Drowned World, The Burning World and The Crystal World. The protagonist in his novels is always a divorced Doctor, who comes across as a nihilist and a masochist and his nemeses are always ruthlessly powerhungry men. In relation to the space opera of Clarke and Asimov and Heinlein who were less socially engaged, Ballard created a New Wave in sci fi. I found the books a revelation. He also wrote Crash (filmed by David Cronenberg), and High Rise, about a luxurious, self-supporting flat block where the upperclass tenants slowly sink into a state of barbarism. They should make a movie of that one too.

    There have been two TV adaptations, this one and a six part serial in the eighties faithful to the book but contemporary to the eighties. Also notable is the 60's film where the Triffids are spawned by the meteor fall but whether it's an invasion or coincidence is left ambiguous, said movie wisely had a naval base organise humanity's survival given the crews were submersed and didn't see the storm, it also shown London engulfed in flames before the characters leave, the book and other serials never touched on that possibility.

Seriously medieval tactics can bust most zombie apocalypse , just set up a little palisade or other barricade, than stab a spear in zombie heads when they try to reach through it or tear it down, it like shooting fish in a barrel.

A meteor hit the earth, nuclear war breaks out, but humanity survived and is capable of rebuilding, than the zombies show up and the military already over stretched taking care of the disaster already on hand.

    If your monster requires everyone to be blind, perhaps it is not a very good monster. Maybe a bit more subtlety could’ve made the plants a better monster. Doesn’t have to be apocalyptic, you could simply focus in on a smaller cast in one of the plant refineries that has lost power or something. Then you could get the effect of the monsters without the extremely convoluted and disruptive solar flare plot.

      Either the plan was to have the "sterile" triffid produce other sterile children so that eventually all you have is a whole lot of sterile triffids, or the script writers completely mis-understand how using sterile mosquitos work, which is you sterilize MILLIONS of them so that the males make with steriles and there's no offspring so the population decreases. Either way, your question is 100% valid.

    I'm already 3 minutes in this video and the movie sounds needlessly complicated:
    Starts with a flashback of protagonist's mom dying to man-eating plants. These plants can kill and poison people, but they are eco-friendly so its ok, and of course the general public doesnt know about it. Why didnt these plants terrorize humanity before this happened? How did they somehow managed to farm these dangerous plants with laughable security measures? (Also tribe people for whatever reason). Protagonist tries to stop activist only to get spat by venom in the eyes. Turns out there's a chance he might go blind so they rush him to the hospital to fix it. Meanwhile almost everyone in the whole world of America watched a meteor shower event, during the day, only to get blinded by some Sun BS, even to those who werent really watching it. And conveniently protagonist 1 had his eyes covered by bandages, protagonist 2 was apparentally the only survivor in the subway, other guy survive a plane crash because he can, and now the plants are free and now their food are just sitting ducks. Like I said so convenient.
    I know its a bit unfair to judge the movie like this, but somehow even this video summary lost me with the logic and science, or it had any. The blinding part is what really confuses me since it doesnt fit imo

    • @alanboyd8416
      @alanboyd8416 Před 7 měsíci

      "whole world of America"? the movie isn't even set in America. It is set in the UK. In the adaption, the other adaptations and the book it is based on explain that the event that causes people to go blind is a once-in-a-lifetime event that happens worldwide. The meteor shower (in the novel) starts over California and then makes its way around the world. As it goes it blinds people. Due to the blindness and the panic as a result of mass blindness the warning spreads around the world too late to stop other parts of the world from going blind. Also, people make a big deal about it on the lead-up to the event so it becomes a social trend to see it. Also, the adaptation never says she is the only survivor of the subway.
      However, overall, as you said, the massive flaw is that the entire world goes blind. After all, clouds would block out the meteor shower in other parts of the world. This is never discussed in the book or adaptations - to my knowledge. However, I imagine if certain parts of the world were for the most part left sighted it will take them time to set up a global response. Especially, if those countries are only left partially sighted.
