You don't need to be a scientist to know how diseases spread and the potential infection rate across the world as it stands in 2012. This is basically all the film shows, with a bit of bland family character development to show how much it might hurt emotionally if it were to happen. If you're susceptible to fear of apocalypse, or constantly feel the need to wash your hands after someone sneezes, then don't watch it. If you're not aware of what might happen should an epidemic/pandemic break out, then of course, watch this Hollywood documentary - it'll make you want to buy a gas mask.

Watched this in flight going to China on business - not a bad movie but all a little predictable. The virus starts in the part of China that I was going to so that gave it a little intrigue! Matt Damon is....well Matt Damon (said in a team america style) Kate Winslet gives a good performance - enjoyable but forgettable over all
