Boomer B @BoomertheOriginal 2d Ridiculous disjointed storyline. Why were some of the CDC people not wearing masks and gloves? A moron conspiracy theorist thrown in for no real reason. Just no. See more Lyle M @RT74894011 Jul 15 It’s a very disjointed/choppy movie. The performances are fine, but the disjointedness really doesn’t allow the viewer to really care about any of the characters. I’m glad I watched it once I suppose but I definitely won’t watch it again or recommend it. See more Mickey B @Mickerdoo Jul 5 Seems pretty realistic post-Covid. Rockstar cast. Liked the variety of reactions. Better safe than sorry. Even a role for Demetri Martin! See more Michael F @Michael445 Jun 17 A really well-done film with an excellent all-star cast. After living through the pandemic, I can appreciate it all the more than when I saw it the first time.. See more John C. @cyclone259 Jun 15 Having watched this recently in 2026, it’s eerie how this movie predicted many of the variables in the pandemic, 8 years BEFORE Covid-19… my guess is that’s because human nature / reactions to disaster stays pretty consistent and even in 2011, there were countless unfiltered conspiracy theorists running around. That’s the high point of this film; the rest is stupidly mediocre. For a thriller, it’s not thrilling and although it was overflowing with (at the time) A and B+ level actors, they just seemed to phone in their performances. The story meandered around, never really focusing much on anything or any character. Gwenyth Paltrow was in there for maybe 5 minutes in total and relegated to a cameo role and flashbacks; a total waste of her talent. Kate Winslet, also a great actress, conveys her dialogue like she’s reading from a menu at the Cheesecake Factory. Matt Damon gives the most meh performance of his life. There’s loads better pandemic movies out there. Skip this one. See more Tyson D. @Spudsprout Jun 10 (Overall Rating: 3.83/5) (Very Good) --- (Cinematography/Atmosphere: 3.5/5) The atmosphere was extremely believable, this was not visually ground breaking but was good enough. --- (Storyline/Plot: 4.5/5) The story told from start to finish was well paced and believable. It is scary the similarities that we saw almost a decade later with our own pandemic. --- (Acting: 4/5) Well acted movie in many regards. No real standout performances but just solid all around. --- (Character Quality: 4/5) Every character was believable and well written. Every character had their own self motivations for doing what they did. --- (Entertainment Value: 3/5) Not meant to be an exciting film and there were definitely slow parts that were required to set up tension. Perfect length for what it was. --- (Expectations vs. Reality: 4/5) I had not seen this since covid, the similarities are very eerie. It is wild how relevant this movie has remained since releasing.
