À propos de ce film

When Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) returns to Minneapolis from business in Hong Kong, what she thought was jet lag takes a virulent turn. Two days later, she's dead in the ER and the doctors tell her shocked and grieving husband (Matt Damon) they have no idea why. Soon more cases are reported as the virus begins to spread. Researchers mobilize to break the code of this unique biological pathogen as it continues to mutate. Deputy Director Cheever (Laurence Fishburne) tries to allay the growing panic despite his own personal concerns, and must send a brave young doctor (Kate Winslet) into harm's way. As the death toll escalates and people struggle to protect themselves and their loved ones in a society breaking down, one activist blogger (Jude Law) claims the public isn't getting the truth about what's really going on, and sets off an epidemic of paranoia and fear as infectious as the virus itself.

Notes et avis

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
