Contagion

Opinion going in:
Opinion coming out:





Language: Only one or two bad words that I remember... actually for a movie about desperation and watching loved ones collapse at your feet in seizures... I really expected more.


Horror: 1/2 I don't know... I suppose the idea of unseeable diseases that can kill anyone anywhere may be scary.... but not really to me.


Gore: Zero. A little foaming at the mouth... but that's it.


Nudity/'Character development':Zero! Some 'offscreen' character development stated, but nothing on-screen!

Review:

Ehhhhhhh....

It was ok. It wasn't really what I was hoping/expecting. I was expecting some kind of 'Race for a cure' type of movie like Outbreak was back in the day. There was SOME of that... but it was a more an observation on how society would act when confronted but this plague.

Some of their reactions/characters seemed genuinely ridiculous, while some descended into paranoia and fear.

It was interesting, but I would recommend waiting for the $2 dvd rental as opposed to the $7+ Theater experiance.

Of course I spent the early part of my day roofing... so it was a MAJOR improvement over that!
