Saw this last night. If you're a germ phobic person, well guess what. You'll get a lot worse. The casting is right on, the story is a progression into fear and chaos that not even the best Zombie films truly capture. This movie makes you very nervous and gets your protective instincts really hyped up. You will feel for these people and actors, and even if you don't like them, you'll feel for them. It is an experimentation on fear and possible exact measures mankind could fall into. How the internet as a tool can go so wrong. Jude Law really shines here and I am not a huge fan of his. The All Star cast get their egos out of the way to tell this tale and it is a film you have to see at least once. There are no happy endings here, but you don't leave the film feeling depressed, but entertained and you will talk paranoya. It has some dull moments, but overall, probably one of the best virus movies ever done. The Virus is the true star of this flim. I highly recommend it.

This movie lacked any dramatic climax. I was expecting a more updated version of the movie Outbreak, but it didnt live up to that level. It was good at showing the possibilities of widespread panic and lawlessness, but the movie just sort of ended leaving you feeling unfulfilled.

It's just an "okay" movie with nothing outstanding or revealing about it. In fact, the tragedy of this movie is that it failed to portray the wider scope of calamity for those not infected ... especially the danger of being with so many other people, say, in a movie theater (pun intended), no electricity, water plants shutting down, and so many other everyday expectations that would no longer be met . Worth seeing on DVD but not worthy of paying to see it at a movie theater.
