Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
pd1306 I have one nagging question here that really bugs me (pun intended). The president actually received an injection of the ebola virus when he ws shot. But the nurse and the secretary of state just got minute contact e.g. touching the wound and the needle. So how come they both died yet the president apart from looking a little grey - oh and his eyes were not so good at one point - he NEVER got really ill. He was so well in fact that he got dressed!!. whilst 2 staff nearby died!!. what a guy! and as for the horrible child who happened to be in Rwanda with his parents then ending up in the VERY SAME HOSPITAL and he also happened to be a specialist in wandering around air ducts! the worst movie ever made for sure!
mikellfe The movie Contagion was a well thought out story that had below average acting and corny elements. The actual plot of the movie was great. The President of the United States is shot with the ebola virus by terrorists and the disease will spread like wildfire if time runs out. By listening to that plot, one would think that suspense keep the viewer anxious throughout the whole movie. However, the acting is so bad that it is hard to take the movie seriously. In addition, there are several effects that unsuccessfully add drama. For example, the President refuses to take the antidote provided by the terrorist cause he does not believe in it, the nurse tells Dr. Landis to tell her daughter she was "the light of her life" before she dies, and randomly the screen shows what hour it is since the virus was shot into the President. None of these attempts to add drama or suspense made me hold on to the edge of my seat. The bottom line was that this movie did not reach its potential. With the story line, it could have been a great science fiction; however, the bad acting and the lack of development make this a below average film even for a science fiction.
johnsonbl I feel that this movie could have been better in the informational portions of it. The actors were not the best but not the worst. The movie was pretty amusing when it came to special effects and some of the script. It was realistic to a point but lacked real emotions in some of the scenes. I feel that if a man knew he was going to die would try anything to save himself and others nomatter the circumstances. But, I also liked that a little boy who has no family nor a stable home ended up saving the world with the cure in his blood and eventually got a family. Megan Gallagher to me did a good job in this movie I loved her emotions. Overall I give the movie a six out of ten.
melaith2 This movie was not only badly written but the acting could not have been worse. The only actor who was any good was the 10 year old boy, who actually had feeling when he cried. The script was not the best either. Most of the lines were very cheesy. I had to laugh to keep from hurling. The story line was not all that great or accurate. The president did not have very good security either. How could they not see the barrel sticking out of a window across the street right in front of them? I would like to think that the people protecting the president are a little smarter then that. For dealing with a level 4 hot agent the doctor was not very intelligent seeing as she touched her mouth with a gloved hand after handling the dart that contained the virus. No real doctor would ever work with any level 4 agent with out the right protective gear. There was also not a very accurate representation of what the Ebola virus can do to a person. Now I don't know that much about Ebola but I do know that it does more to your body then just give you a bloody nose and a cough. A better representation would have made this movie better. Everyone looked too good through out the movie. Plus it jumped around a lot. There were too many holes in the plot. In one scene they were standing up talking and in the next scene they were dead. Now how about that ending. No movie would be complete without the terrorist falling off of the roof after being hit with a portable tunnel, the bomb being turned off with two seconds to spare, and a bit of romance. Everyone has time to flirt when there is a hot agent that is air borne around a hospital.
