My Review-

This is a movie about what happens when people finding out there is a virus that is around that is Highly contagious, and the people that are trying to find a cure for it. The tag line for the movie is "Nothing Spread Likes Fear", which is true about this movie, which makes it work shows you what happens when we stop thinking and start reacting to something that could kills us. The actors they chose for the movie were the right choice to play their characters. This movie like other movies was a mystery to see what was making everyone sick and why did it start, it kept me at the edge of my seat to see what would happen next, and why these people were doing what they were doing. I have been wanting to see this movie since the preview came out, I kind of wish that I had seen this movie while it was in theaters. These are the types of movies that I like to watch from time to time, a "what would you do in this situation?" type of film. For me this movie was better than another film I watched which was "Outbreak" possibly because the acting was a better than this one, and they each had their own individual story that tied in to each other during the film. If you like movies that are like this which is considered a medical disaster film, then I suggest that you watch this, I really enjoyed this film and it at the end made me want to buy hand sanitizer and wash my hands more.
