WW 3

Was in the middle of watching this (under the title "Winds Of Terror") on video, when I started to get a sinking feeling... This wasn't made BEFORE 9/11 was it? Came here and so it was. All I can say is...

Oh. My. God.

All the FBI and CIA had to do was watch this. They even name Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. So, sorry, the excuse of "nobody could have seen it coming" won't wash any more.

BTW - this movie is also heavily influenced by Richard Preston's "Hot Zone" - even to the point of borrowing whole chunks of text and dialog. Preston was the guy who woke up the Clinton Administration to the bioweapon threat.

Conclusion - you don't need to see this movie. You already saw it on 9/11 and the Anthrax attacks after. Let's hope there isn't a sequel in the works...

This movie was so scary. I didn't think I was going to like it. But I couldn't stop watching it. It was so weird that it was made 2 months before 9-11. Let's hope and pray it doesn't happen here. some of it was pretty lame. the kid and his mom. but over all i like it.

This movie started out fairly interesting, even for a made-for-TV movie. Even though it ripped off things from "The Stand" and "Saving Private Ryan" I thought it was rather well made. And then, suddenly, after almost no noticable climax, it ended. To say the least I was shocked. I half expected a "to be continued" or some kind of epilogue. Nothing. The story dropped off into a void of nothingness, leaving me totally unsatisfied. Also, the title is completely misleading. There was never any "war" onscreen, only terrorist attacks and a quick mention of war in Kuait at the end. It would have been great as the first installment in a miniseries but unfortunatly, the creators saw differently.

The title of the movie "WW3" is completely misleading. No war occurs. A movie named "WW3" should be about nuclear apocalypse, or in this case, biological apocalypse.

However, this movie does, in its overly-exaggerated manner, somewhat get its point across. For example, the thought of biological warfare did become a small part of my mind after this.

This movie's producers probably never dreamed that the message at the end ("Scientists feel that it is not a question of if such an attack will occur, but when...") would turn out to be true. Two months after the broadcast of the movie, the September 11 terrorist attacks occurred. A month later, lo and behold, there was a bioterrorist attack on the United States with anthrax. (It was not nearly as bad as the one in the movie.)

Overall, worth watching, if you have the time...once.

I gotta tell you, this movie reeked. From start to finish, I said, This is a bad movie. Awful acting, terrible score, and a very anti-climactic ending. If you are going to make a movie called World War 3, you have to do a better job than this piece of crap. Boooo! And by the way, how old is Vanessa Williams anyways, 120? She sure looked it.
