Virus (1999)

Based on 17 critic reviews provided by

60	Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas An unpretentious, amusing thrill-a-minute sci-fi horror thriller / monster movie that plugs right into fears of a Y2K crisis.
42	Entertainment Weekly The pathogenic agent to fear, however, is the one that evidently turned every line of dialogue into inane gibberish.
30	The New York Times Lawrence Van Gelder As long on adrenaline and special effects as it is short on genuine novelty and intellectual content.
30	Washington Post Stephen Hunter Everything in it is a cliche including the end.
25	Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "Deep Rising" was one of the worst movies of 1998. Virus is easily worse.
25	San Francisco Chronicle Bob Graham No one is likely to claim it's a great, or even good, movie, but it does offer some guilty pleasures.
25	USA Today Andy Seiler The movie was postponed from 1998 and shielded from critics. (They were ot allowed to see the movie before the opening, usually a bid sign.) [15 January 1999, Life, p.8E]
25	Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington Some movies are a joy. Some are a chore. And some are sheer torture. A good example of the latter is Virus. [17 January 1999, Metro Chicago, p.8]
25	ReelViews James Berardinelli 95 minutes of unrelieved tedium.
25	The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Rick Groen Frankly, about 20 minutes into this dud, I was rooting for the alien beasties -- their diagnosis seemed dead-on.
