Watchable movie. Points us in the right direction to a lot of Gov. secrecy. This movie is a bit old but we should know by now if we have woke up and look around that some movies are propaganda and some are trying to wake us up. Anne is good. Don't know James. Needs to lose some weight. The movie is a bit slow and Nurse goodbody plays the don't show emotions well. I wonder how the hero gets in the car when it shows Anne always locks the door with the remote. Another blooper. Another gotcha is only one town is affected by airplane vapor, hmm very selective spraying I guess. To Author: Uriah43 from Amarillo, Texas. Do some research before making conspiracy theory comments.

The first five minutes of this movie made me think it was going to be good. I was wrong. Totally and completely boring.
When I saw this movie on Netflix, I decided to watch it just because it takes place in Spokane (close to where I grew up). With a pretty dismal rating, I wasn't expecting much going into it. However, I was pleasantly surprised.
The production value, acting, filming, sound, etc. are all well done. Unlike many Netflix instant-play movies, it seemed this one was made by a competent production company that actually invested into the quality of the film.
Although the story isn't anything extraordinary, and can be very slow at times, it can be credited with being somewhat original and provides a few fresh twists. If you aren't expecting a Hollywood blockbuster, and can manage to sit through a movie without A-list actors, you may actually find the 90 minutes of Toxic Skies enjoyable.
The only thing I am really disappointed with is the location of Spokane plays no role besides the movie needing to take place somewhere. It is ironic the one thing that hooked me into watching the movie ended up being irrelevant.

Another one about an epidemic, this time caused by some substances (metals) spread by the jet fuel of airplanes. Anne Heche is simply constipated throughout
the whole movie. The acting of the other actors is forced, nobody really believes in his role, in their lines. No stars, no nothing!
A mysterious illness has broken out, sending its victims into the hospitals convulsing and vomiting and generally looking really gross. The disease displays symptoms that lead super-doctor Tess Martin (Anne Heche) to begin thinking that the Bubonic Plague has erupted. But when a guy named Jack (James Tupper), who just so happens to Speak Truth to Power, gets on the scene, he clues Tess in a frightening conspiracy.
Toxic Skies is one of those straight-to-video movies. For being a low budget film shot in Canada, this movie has great cinematography and editing. The movie had more potential if only the writing had been better. The script was too inaccurate and unrealistic. Too much effort was put into the message, and not enough into the quality of the film. The movie is slow.
Toxic Skies cobbles a few elements from the movie "Outbreak", particularly why it becomes personally important for Tess to quickly discover a cure. The movie isn't as suspenseful as it could have been. The film touches on an important motivation of Tess' physician work, yet never returns to it. There just seemed like great potential for backstories, or learning more about the two main doctors in general.
Anne Heche gives a solid performance as Dr. Tess Martin, but the rest of the cast is lacking of talent.
Not great, but watchable....
