I didn't go in to this with any expectations. So-so cast, common movie plot...I was just hoping it lacked the silliness of Outbreak. After it was all over my husband asked me what I thought. The only answer I could come up with was "boring". The writing was dry and lacked any real pathos. We see people die - but it isn't tragic really. We meet characters and then they have no purpose to the story line. It's like a dozen little threads of semi- interesting concepts are suddenly cut with minimal fan far and no explanation. The whole movie plays out more like a documentary on what would happen if the planet was suffering from another flu epidemic of 1918, only less interesting. You get a little science, minimal character development, no proper resolution to anything...I think this one isn't even worth catching it on cable.
