Wow, that was bad. I hoped to see a good thriller, but this movie is just boring and very stupid.

The story does not really make any sense, and the filming is just awful. There are some "twists" in the story that are not explained, are unnecessary or just very naive. Also, the way the two "doctors" behave when they suspect that the disease might be contagious is just hilarious.

In addition to the story, you'll also see some really bad and annoying lighting and camera work, and there's not really much to say about the score either.

Don't waste your time on this.

See here's the thing. I don't mind a really truly terrible movie, because at least it's so bad it's funny. This one though, just elicited NO reaction in me. It wasn't awful, it wasn't disgusting, it wasn't funny, it just...was. I couldn't even muster up the emotion to rate it 1/10 for awful.

After watching this I still don't understand what was going on. The military good/bad aspects might have been a nice twist, but it was handled all wrong and didn't have any sort of a plot setup to make it feasible. The spooky scary music did nothing for me and the acting was pretty, well, boring. Plus, the suffering, dying animals at the beginning of the movie did not bode well for me, a card-carrying member of the Humane Society. I should have turned it off when I saw that.

When I saw the cover and the title I thought it might have a bit more energy and maybe horror or zombie parts than it ended up actually having. This movie just didn't have...anything..

I rate it "stay away" for the simple reason that the production values were negative. The sound was awful, the plot ridiculous, the endless scenes where someone would run or drive or ride while a music was playing in the background were annoying, the acting was truly shameful. And the title was pretty much deceitful, as the plot doesn't treat a pandemic, but a contagion, and a very localised one at that.

There is something good about the movie, and that is the paranoid feel that you get when the army comes marching in, cutting every link to the outside world based on some unknown Act, but basically through the power of their guns, and you don't really know: are there to protect you and are assholes by design, or are there to hurt you and they are feigning civility?

Bottom line: if this would have been a low budget movie about alien abductions and anal probes, probably it would have been more believable. I don't think there is any reason why someone would watch this film except for learning to spot the mistakes in film-making. It is not so bad as to be funny, though.

This has got to be one of the worst movie I have ever seen, stay away from this and don't even bother watching. Everything about this film was stupid and absurd, and they try to take this in a serious direction but fails miserably. It also has these drive scenes which is pointless and doesn't add anything to the movie, and it takes forever for it to end with it's lame music playing in the background. The ending was sort of satisfying, but that just cause the acting is so bad in this you just don't care for any of the characters especially the female protagonist. She tries to act like a tough chick that don't take crap from anyone, but she just comes across as being annoying, lame and just plain stupid. Some crazy critics who likes to nit pick everything in a movie might enjoy this film since there is tons of flaws or just will end up getting a head ache.

1/10

This is not the movie you're looking for. You're looking for a different movie--a much better movie--with same title. Don't watch this one.

Yes, there is a mysterious illness in this movie, but I don't think it qualifies as a pandemic. The illness never leaves the confines of America's least populous county. I counted less than ten deaths in this movie, and that includes a couple of horses. Hardly a pandemic--not even an epidemic.

Is this a zombie movie? No. No zombies. No walking undead. No hunger for brains.

Is this a "conspiracy theory" movie? Perhaps. You decide.

The only positive thing about this movie is that there is no romance to get in the way of the story.

I only chose 1 out of 10 because there wasn't a .5 out of 10.

I'll keep it simple. I want the 1 1/2 hours of my life back that I wasted watching this movie.

The story line wasn't that bad, but the acting, directing and score (if you want to call it that) were pathetic.

The beginning of the movie showed promise as was stated in an earlier review, but the script and the actors ruined it quickly.

The music did not fit the movie. The cinematography was atrocious by continuing to show the same still frames seemingly just to fill space. Some parts of the movie were so dark you couldn't tell what was happening.

Whoever mixed the sound for the movie should never be allowed to do that again. Some parts of the movie were loud; others were barely audible.

This is the movie that puts the cheese into cheezy. The premise of the movie is that the military has quarantined a county in New Mexico because of some deadly outbreak. That is a good premise to begin with, but there are a few problems. The first one are the uniforms worn by the military. The uniforms are completely unrealistic. There is no "U.S. ARMY" name tape on the uniforms. The soldiers have rank on their uniforms, but no rank on their caps. There is no unit insignia anywhere in sight. Soldiers are wearing black boots with ACU uniforms. I could go on and on about the mistakes on the uniforms. The second problem would be in the quarantine of an entire county. Do you have any idea how many small roads leave a given New Mexico county? You would have to post half the U.S. Army in New Mexico to keep residents from leaving a county. Finally there are large parts of the movie where nothing goes on, so they just show the female star driving around and play music. Avoid this movie at all costs.

This is an entertaining thriller. It's definitely not an Acadamey contender but it's got a good ride for the audience. Even though it's not a deep, meaningful movie; the movie goer is left pondering different elements of the story line. The acting's fine. This is a good popcorn movie to watch. Pandemic is Jason Connery's first film to direct and there are some minor mistakes, but nothing that makes this film a screwup. He's has potential of being a really good director. I don't think anyone who was involved in making this film would be embarrassed by it. It's a low budget film that delivers. Any movie, that can take the audience's mind off from their daily lives, is a success. That's what movies are all about.

It's interesting that this movie is coming out in a time that there is evidence that the vaccine companies and governments of many countries may do something similar at any time. In Ukraine, they're spreading a deadly mutated virus not through the water but by spraying the air from airplanes. Like in the movie, governments are covering it up and not letting mainstream media talk mention it. One has to look at the alternative media on the internet and search pneumonic plague Ukraine to find this deadly pandemic that is infecting 200,000 people a day and is killing people similar to how they die in the movie - their lungs and nose fill up with blood and the lungs basically disintegrate (according to the doctors: total destruction of the lungs) and become black. So far, over a million people have become sick and although the "government" and "WHO" give the "official" number of people dead at 239 (since 10/31), doctors, who gave information to sources other than the official media, are saying that 100s are dying everyday if not more.

I saw Pandemic at the store and instantly though to myself Zombies!! I was wrong this film focuses on the relationship between the small town mainly a small group of characters in this small town and the Government during a Quarantine. This is not a horror film it is more of a Sci-Fi B movie thriller and a pretty good one. The acting is good all the performers were good except maybe two of the Army Soldiers in the background who would only have a line or two. There were not many special effects but the effects they did have were done really well. I really liked the ending of this movie it gave the film so much more depth and had me thinking about the film after it was over. I can only give it a 5 though if you are a fan of the genre or really interested check it out otherwise not much will be missed, for most of this has already been done before and better.

1 out of 10, because I can't give it a lower rating.

The cinematography is brutally awful. The script ... OK I can't even call it a script. The acting does its level best, but the script doesn't make any sense.

The close captioning / subtitles are the worst ever.

The soundtrack is up and down, loud and soft, and the music has nothing to do with the movie except this is somewhere in the region of the country where the music is supposed to fit - only it doesn't.

The military is ridiculously portrayed, absolutely horrific, an embarrassment to the actual men and women who serve.

Just ... do not waste your time. I would like that hour and a half of my life back.

This movies sucks...my biggest problem is you made the United States Army look like a joke. No service branch tabs uniforms looked like crap and in what damn army does the service members drive a shiny hummer. Next time you want to make a movie with service members get it right. I truly hope you do get it right. I don't know why on gods earth film lets you get away with this horrible acting and making our service members look like a joke. So complete thumbs down on this huge waste of good money.and you need to put a rating on here of please let me commit suicide next time I view a movie made by this director and contains these horrible actors. Or just quit making movies go back to making ridiculous clay animation in your basement.

First things first, it relies on false advertising to sell. Sure, the back-of-the-box blurb is sorta accurate, but what sells is the name and cover art: there are NO cool gas masks. There are NO big cities affected by a plague. There are no stormy, overcast days mirroring the abysmal dysphoria of a human world threatened by disease. This movie is a Grade-A example of movies being posers in an already bloated genre of films.

This film feels like garbage someone put in a candy wrapper and stashed in the vending machine. I rented it from Redbox, watched it once all the way through, and took it back in less than three hours with a look on my face like I was smelling bad cheese. It was horrible! At first, I honestly thought that someone had gotten the "actual" Pandemic DVD, copied the little iOS5 stickers on the center, and replaced the disc with their own shitty independent film.

The music is awful, the visual and audio effects are cheap, and at least 50% of the entire runtime is just montage padding of NOTHING. Watching a lady drive her truck, or her and her dorky man-ape friend run about backwood fields for a few minutes to crappy minimalist pop music. The plot is cliché, the writing is actually worse than an Uwe Boll script that diminishes all empathy, suspense, or drama, and you can tell immediately that the entire budget went into renting those tacky Humvees.

Overall, I'd only recommend this POS DVD if you have a collection of horrible movies for that sake, because this should be your #1-3 Gilded Disc as a tribute to "Cinema Done Wrong." 1/10 and only because they had the balls to release this film...

This really isn't Phoenix, Arizona but Buckeye. Arizona 30 miles from Phoenix. Just curious why this movie was made. Want more information on why that filming location and why Phoenix is listed as the filming location. I ate at the restaurant not to long ago and it has changed hands but the outside is still the same. After she leaves the coroners office after seeing the coroners body the sign reflecting in her mirror says Buckeye. How it compares to some of what is going on around the world sends chills down my spine.

Although it is slow starting and some of the dramatic effects are a little cheesy I still liked this movie after trying to watch it before and turning it off.

I thought this would be better but, I was wrong. Waste of time.

I just finished watching this movie and really wished I would have rented a different one. If you even look at the cover of the movie at your local rental store then you just wasted your time. I strongly discourage anyone renting and especially buying this low budget film. If you look at the pictures on the front and back cover, you'll notice it does not match ANY scene in the movie. It's definitely a misguided catch as to how the movie is going to turn out. This movie was shot in 12 days and from listing to the dialog it was written in 10. Crew members were asked to play characters in the movie because of the $200,000 low budget.

I actually enjoyed watching the driving scenes since it was filmed in New Mexico and our beautiful mountains were in the backgrounds. Most of all I love zombie apocalypse and Sci-fi movies even though a lot of them are cheesy.
