Contagio

This movie was not the greatest movie I have ever seen. This movie was below average, it had its lame acting moments and random scenes that didn't make the movie flow. The acting I think could have been a lot better, I mean one of the main characters, Dr. Landis, couldn't even cry she looked as though she was in pain with a two tears. The flow of the movie was pretty good, however; it had some random parts. The storyline I thought was believable. I only hope that someone doesn't take the movie's idea. The ending of the movie was OK, but it was predicable in my opinion of Dr. Landis and President Howard. Overall the movie was decent however it isn't a number one blockbuster. The actors and all who were involved did a very good job making this movie.

this was a terrible movie on just about every level. there was no acceptable story line, no character development and a very weakly based scientific plot. the steps taken to decontaminate all the people in the hospital(room to room and specifically Dr. Landis) and to stop the virus from escaping out of the ventilation system was totally unrealistic. even the handling of the virus was unbelievable. if the virus became airborne, how was that eradicated? the movie failed to formulate a stimulating scientific interest in the viewers. the fact that the vaccine had to be made from a specific strain of ebola that only one person had come into contact with was also fallible from a scientific viewpoint. the insubordination portrayed by General Ryker would never happen in real life and was another poor attempt by Hollywood to make the military look different than it really is. i give this a 2/10 possible stars.

I thought Contagion was much better than the average type of film about a lethal virus gone loose. I've seen most of the bad knockoffs of the sub-genre over the years, and I personally think this is one of the better. The script is well paced and the movie is well shot. The acting is very professional with high marks going to Lin Shaye, Bruce Boxleitner, Megan Gallagher, and Jeffrey Combs (of course).

Maybe the medical science that occurs during the movie isn't exactly 100% accurate...but hey this is a movie! Not every movie has to be an exact comparison to reality. We already have enough crappy reality TV shows for that.

I wouldn't mind seeing this movie again in the future. Rent it at least once, you might just enjoy it also.

This has got to be one of the most unreal science-fiction movies i have ever seen. The science of the film had it's ups and downs, but mostly downs. the decontamination processes by which Dr. Ladis exited the infected area was totally unprobable and unrealistic. people would not be allowed to travel freely throughout the hospital if it was quarantined. the fact that the only way to cure the ebola was to retrieve samples from someone who had been in contact with one specific strain of ebola was also scientifically unsound. if the ebola virus somehow managed to become airborne, then it would have undoubtedly escaped through the ventilation system of the hospital, and the outside areas would have been contaminated very quickly through the wind blowing the virus around. also, if the virus was airborne, at the end, when everyone had been vaccinated and came out of the hospital, what about the airborne virus? wouldn't it just come out with all of the people? the insubordination displayed by general ryker would never have happened, so this was another slip by the writer in an attempt to develop a weak story line. there was no character development, a weak story line, and enough scientific fallacies for ANYONE, science smart or not, to pick up on. i give this a 2/10.

The story of the movie was not really to bad, something like that could possibly happen now or in the future. Some parts of the story were really kinda silly and didn't make much since. The story didn't flow as good as it could have. The acting was another really big part that kept the movie from being better than it was. Some of the actors actions were just not really believable and did some very odd things. This was another big factor that kept the flow of the movie from being as smooth as it could. Like I said the storyline was for the most part believable, but their were some holes in the story. Their were a lot of parts where they didn't go into enough detail so you really don't know whats going on. But overall I gave Contagion a rating of 4.
