Contagion

Contagion had some major downfalls which caused me to be disappointed in the movie as a whole. The movie began in many different pieces and with many questions about characters and situations, the various parts are never full pulled together and the questions never answered which left me feeling unfulfilled. The acting was mediocre at best; better actors may have made the plot more believable. Their attempt to make the situation appear more realistic by add things that looked scientific actually accomplished the opposite by drawing attention to incorrect scientific details. Referring to 'facts' and failing to put them to use left many holes in the story. Their explanations and answers to problems were clearly inaccurate and poorly conveyed. The inconsistent flow of the movie made it even more difficult to follow and the ending failed to draw a strong closure to the plot. Overall the movie was inaccurate, poorly acted, choppy, and unfulfilling.

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.

to begin this movie totally sucked. not only is the plot really bad, but the actors a really weak. i think the megan gallagher performance is by far the worst though. she's not believable at all. beyond the bad acting is the the incredibly flawed science. Dr.Laura is repeatedly exposed to the virus throughout the movie. i mean how many times did she walk into the quarantine zone with out the hazmat suit? not to mention she was touching everything and putting her hands'in her mouth. there's a whole list of bad science instances that i could run on with but i don't want to spoil it for anyone. not that i recommend it or anything. they of course also went for the cheesy ending.but i wont ruin it for any one.

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 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.
