  An excellent movie. Scary how a contagion like this could happen.

  Parts of this movie are really good-- good action and great actors, Damon, Winslet, Cotillard-- but the script looks like written by Big Pharma-- and the instant saving power of the vaccine is a real lame ending. Watch tongue on cheek.

  The movie was very accurate scientifically. It lost a lot of momentum after the development of the vaccine as it tried to resolve the numerous story lines. The flashback to Day 1, was good but predictable. Would be interesting to see a directors cut to see what was cut, or more developed subplots. A lot was left to the viewer to fill in.

  The only reason this movie is worth seeing is, it`s realistic, makes you think of what would happen in real life. Would you be a survivor or a statistic. rb

  Interesting thought provoking movie, very realistic scenarios, but didn't have to be exacting to drive the point home... most folks still have a habit of going out when sick... or being oblivious to 'contact-hygiene' that will have dire consequences if a contagion is so deadly in such a short time. Always a dilemma to contain or reduce if human habits continue. I see it more as a docu-drama than a 'horror flick'. Worth the watch even if not in the theatre. There are no true villains except ourselves.

  Slow, Slow, Slow and some loose ends that seem not to fit appropriately. Great idea for a movie, but poorly pulled off.

  I didn't find it as 'scary' as I thought it would be. Ok I see the looting of stores and houses and fear of people touching each other but it didn't seem as hardcore as I thought it would be especially if 25million people died!! If that many people were contagious or dead there would be way more mass hysteria and violence I think. Instead of how fairly controlled and contained it seemed. But to trace it back and see that mother nature is just as deadly as any virus we could create. Strange though, in these sort of movies we can find a cure, but AIDS epidemic still nothing. Love Hollywood fantasy.

  I feel this movie will be an Oscar contender for Best Film: Steven Soderbergh has put together an extremely gripping movie that will be considered a classic with the passage of time. I agree in principle with a previous poster who questioned the intelligence of those who panned this film without specifying any concrete reason for doing so (or, in many cases, without even bothering to make any attempt at utilising correct grammar and spelling). I differ, however, in the optimism of my outlook: while the previous poster complained that many of the other preceding fan reviews came from really unintelligent people, I like to believe that these same bad reviews came from exceptionally intelli
