Voyager gets injected with a bit of Rambo/Die Hard DNA! It works pretty well, and Janeway gets to strip down, tool up and walk around with a giant gun. This is episode is a pleasantly fun diversion from anything too serious - although the alien virus results in some icky things.
The virus creatures themselves are done all in CG, and it's surprisingly not too terrible for 1990s special effects. They managed to give them some weight and while it certainly doesn't hold up to anything we'd see today it's a commendable job.
The opening half of the episode with just Janeway and Neelix was probably my favourite part, after that the rest of the characters only served to make it a bit dull. The doctor's first away mission is enjoyable, though. I'm also impressed that the writer(s) remembered that Neelix only has one lung.
