Contagion (2011)
Soon after her return from a business trip to Hong Kong, Beth Emhoff dies from what is a flu or some other type of infection. Her young son dies a few days later. Her husband Mitch however seems immune. Thus begins the spread of a deadly infection. For doctors and administrators at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, several days pass before anyone realizes the extent or gravity of this new infection. They must first identify the type of virus in question and then find a means of combating it, a process that will likely take several months. As the contagion spreads to millions of people worldwide, societal order begins to break down as people panic.

I had high hopes for this one, but sadly it disapointed. It started out well but after a little while everything slowed down...considerably. Didn't work for me...

I found this film to be quite bland. Lack of character development made it hard to connect to or care about any of the characters. The film also lacked suspense. The trailer was a lot better. 6.5/10

Great sound track by Cliff Martinez as always (Drive & others). Decent story and acting and was relatively enjoyable but the ending just blew. If they had really spent time making the ending better, I would have really enjoyed this movie. Blah

First time I've seen Jude, Matt, and Gwyneth together since the Talented Mr. Ripley.

The movie was very grim, not nearly as grim as The Road, but still a pretty disturbing view of what the world could most likely become.

The ending .....

... I thought was pretty unimaginative. They could have at least made a more clear message about the value of science by showing exactly what a denial of it would lead to, instead of placating a nervous audience with a palatable ending.

This movie shows in a very good way how the next virus outbreak that will be just as big or maybe even bigger as the Spanish Flu is gonna happen in the 21th century. And believe me, sooner or later IT WILL HAPPEN.

I liked the electronic music that was playing at the beginning of the movie. It had sort of an panicked tone to it that together with the people who where getting sick and dying set a thrilling tone to the first part of the movie.

I found the movie to be very realistic. Jude Law character was spot-on. When there is gonna be an outbreak we will see people on the internet (who have no medical training whatsoever) who think they have found the cure and millions of people will listen to them. There will be millions of people who stop going to work, who stay at home and avoid contact with anyone. Others will do whatever they can to get their hands on a vaccination, even if that means killing someone else.

I liked the fact that we got to see the story from so many different angles. It really gave an overview of the entire situation and what the virus had for an impact on all the people involved.

The end of the movie was a bit disappointing. In my opinion that could have been a lot better. But overall i find this movie to be really good.
